Got my swap fabric

I joined in a fabric swap on Quilt Pixie's site. I got my box today. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I love these because you can usually get rid of some things that you wont use and give it to someone who will. The fabric scraps I received were so inspiring i have set up a personal project using them. Yes a scrap quilt for MOI. The great thing about scrap quilts is that anything goes. I need to let go a bit. I have become a bit too organized with some parts of my life. So once D-crazy's birthday quilt from MAY is done and my mom and dad's xmas one is done and all the quilting and binding is done I am making myself a birthday scrap quilt. My bday is 1/4 and I will be 32 this year. I will give myself a year to get it done, hopefully it wont take nearly that long but there were some projects that got put on the back burner. A quilt in sage and pink, mike's batik and a couple others. Plus i have been slacking on the shop. I have a few more headbands but now that winter is coming i think i should make some more bags. OH and I got my drill bits for my lake glass.
My boss loved her mantle scarf and pillow. I want to see if she will take a picture of them for me, if so I will post them. Oh forgot that other baby quilt too. Off to read for a bit then up to bed.

Not much

Its rainy and cold.
got another top done a t-shirt quilt for mikes dad.
mom and dad finally got a bid on the house.
more later with pix

Projects ohhh ahhh

Here were the orders I made for my boss's boss.

I made them both from pictures of things she found on the internet. Don't know why she didn't just buy them there BUT that's not the point. The point is she came to me to ask me to make them for her. I charged her more than what they were listed for online and she didn't even blink. Part of me thinks she really appreciates my work and wanted something made by me. But this is my BOSS"S BOSS here. This is also the person who BRAGGED that she went to ALDI's for the first time with her husband and didnt get the idea that you had to pay for your cart. You get the quarter back when you return the cart. Well it at least gave me the opportunity to make my first mantle scarf and a cute little decorative pillow.

I have an idea to make some scarf's for the holidays with gift boxes or something rather than the pumkins. Thier cool because the pumpkins make little pockets that you can put candy in. Now tomorrow Im off to D-crazy's for some good old fashioned family time.

Halloween is coming got your costumes?

Some really cool news

I finally got around to purchasing some showcase spots on Etsy. The Dragon bag ran yesterday and got a ton of hits, Friday is Jewelry and Sat is headbands. We got our second order I am pretty excited about that. AND we were selected to be included in our first Treasury page. The item included has gotten a few more views as well. I ordered some more biz cards so we have them for this weekend. Hopefully we can get out and post some flyers around too. I left work early im not feeling all that right. Didnt sleep right and its just too damn nice outside to be sitting in a cube. So off i go outside to read.

Ok just hear me out

I found out yesterday that Ralph Nader made it on the ballot in Ohio. I went over to the web page to see what he had to say about the issues. http://www.votenader.org/issues/
Now I know what your going to say, I heard it last time. I just don't want to hear it. To be honest the last time I voted was for Nader when he ran in 2000. I was in college and I remember I made my environmental policy professor cry. Not from happiness, no she was dissapointed that I was going to be one of the ones that cost Gore the Presidency. I told her no your going to be one of the people that cost Nader the presidency. She shut up after that. So if your interested in finding out about what one of our candidates has to say check it out. If your satisfied with the other two choices good for you. My opinion is that the Presidential elections as they played out this year, remind me eerily of the School president elections in High school. Its all about who has the coolest posters and who has the most friends. Do you ever remember voting for your class president based on what they were going to do to improve your schools? I didn't think so. The only difference between the high school election and the presidential election is that now we focus on who has the coolest glasses and what or who is wearing lipstick. Deja vu?
Obviously I know he's not going to win, duh. But the point is that this guy stands for what I believe in more than any other candidate out there. I personally think he also has more experience than either one too. Plus I think its cool that at one point he pissed GM (thats General Motors) off enough that they had a hit out on him. Special interests? I think not.
Ok Im done but I guarantee you I will be the only one on our street with a Nader/Gonzalez sign in my yard this year, and I will be proud of it. I wouldn't have voted otherwise, seriously.
