Mama likie......

Ok I made a decision not to cut my hair. Now the last time I had my hair longer than 2 inches was back in HIGH SCHOOL. I wont even mention how long ago that was. But the stars have aligned and are working in my favor. I found an awesome pattern for headbands. So with the new pattern and my abundance of fabric I have decided to make alot of them and either do the craft show circut or start my own etsy store. I was also thinking of making those masks you wear when you sleep too so we shall see. I took one into work to get the girlie girls opinion and walked away with 8 orders. So the first ones will be my walking advertizments at work and if all goes well maybe I can do the Etsy thing too.
I am a very crafty person but I focus my efforts on quilting. I love it. It is my way of escaping from the rest of the world and its problems and create something one of a kind. My quilts are labors of love and have been received by many family and friends. I am currently working on 7 different quilts, all of which are at different levels of completion and are scheduled to be done by X-mas. (Buddha willing) I am an active member of my local quilt guild and taught my first quilting class last Saturday. We made a sewing machine cover. The goal is to one day have my own shop and long arm business. Thats a dream that hasnt waivered over the past few years.
Here are some pix of the headbands and my quilt room.
