I got my package....

Woooohooo. New shoes. This must be how the rich people feel all the time. Here take a look at my booty no not that one my other one. Well thats just going to have to wait. All the batteries are dead for the camera, and I cant find the charger. At least I have power, D-crazy is out and they dont expect it back on until end of the week. Stupid Ohio and its crazy ass weather. Let me go dig for some batteries.

Apples, carmel and cheesecake oh my

I forgot to mention I baked this today
With help from Mike of course.
Oh my there has to be a place for Paula Dean in heaven if not for sure in hell. BUTTER.

Im back

I forgot how much I really loved my hobby.
Locking myself in my room, turning on the music and just losing myself in the fabric and sound of the sewing machine. I missed the creative outlet. Yeah headbands are fun but come on, they're headbands. This is what I'm talking about....

I got Kathy's quilt done(the top) I still have to quilt it but its smaller so it wont take long.
This is a picture of the boarder fabric....

The quilt was actually a class I took on paper piecing. I wanted to learn the right way to do something instead of teaching myself. Instead of paper piecing we had to buy this preprinted muslin and use that. I guess its the same thing but I am not taking a class at that shop again.

So next on the list is finishing Mom and Dads....a block of the month called Garden Friends. I have 2 of 6 blocks done and everything is cut out, so just piecing.
Mikes Dads for the car club... a t-shirt quilt made from a bunch of car cruise t-shirts. I think they are going to raffle it off for something but who knows with those boys.
Bestests friends is on the list. Fabric: City Girl in blue Pattern: Spiderweb (unless I find another one)
I just got hit up to do another baby quilt for my boss. I made her a baseball one for her first Nephew and now there is another one coming 12/31 and it will be football.
Then I get to quilt them all. Thank goodness, I thought I was behind.

Say it with me Thank God Its Friday

Ok so its friday I had my yummy dinner, baked potato and boca burger followed by ice cream sundae. Tomorrow I have to go to the dentist at 8:30 am. I chose the time for this appointment. Was I completely out of my mind? likely yes.
I got some kick ass fingerless gloves on etsy and ordered a custom matching hat.

Ordered my new shoes not made in china but in Germany with a couple tops from http://www.sierratradingpost.com/ and spent 139.ish but saved like 200. I saved more than I spent. When does that ever happen? Oh I just checked they went up I only paid 52.00 for them.

Mike and I ordered tickets to RAIN, a Beatles esk thing he wants to go see

and now i am heading to my room to finish his mom;s quilt, really. I mean it this time.

As Promised.

Bestest friend commented the other day that when I get my shop she will be like a cat and bury herself in the fabrics. Strangest thing happened later that day....
and then...

So I took that as a good sign and set out the quilt that I am making for Mike's mom for her birthday in October. This is up on our dining room table box. Its been in the box for 2yrs now waiting for my kitchen to get done and I finally have found a use for it.
The areas that are open are where the boarder fabric will go. Her living room is beach themed (ewwww) but I think this will go the colors at least. The boarders will be a cream fabric with beige starfish. Very subtle.
I should have it all together tonight. Maybe. Prey for me.

I absolutely positively beyond any shadow of a doubt HATE MY JOB

I know your not supposed to talk about your job on these things so all I am going to say is F my Fing F'd up JOB.
Done
Going up to quilt, the only thing on earth right now that will be able to calm me the F down.
Love to all pix to come.

OHMMMM

Ok sorry about that little tantrum.
Its Thursday and I have gotten alot done. I will be going around town this weekend posting fliers to promote the shop. Coffee shops, library, senior center (do seniors use computers) whole foods and any other place I can think of that are reputable and have a community bulliten board.
I splurged tonight to celebrate our first sale (thanks hollylynn, there is a little something special in there too!). and got a large super veggi pizza. Veggies cheese and bread, life is good.
Like they say you always remember your first, and I cant thank you enough. I think were doing a little better every day. We have people that have marked us as a favorite and Alice's dragon bag and one necklace are favorites as well. The traffic will come and with it will be sales. I told my parents and they humored me, oh great job honey. Bite me! I am proud of myself damnit. This gives me more and more confidence that one day I will be able to have my own brick and mortar quilt shop. One day. In the meantime I am using this experience to learn all I can. I did go back to quilting Tuesday, i missed and my sewing machine must have been pissed at me for leaving her for the new multi stitch machine. She took 30 min to get up and going. But after that it was like old times. Now, I have 5 that need to be done by x-mas. But good thing is I have enough headbands made to keep the site updated. Therapy for dummy's just sew something.
