Late Posts

Okay, well I must say I have been very busy... but you all probably already know that! I need to become better at time management. It's not really that I don't have time for the blog though... it's just that when I do have some free time I'm exhausted and don't feel like doing anything! BUT....

I'M GOING TO THE QUILT FESTIVAL IN HOUSTON TODAY!!!

I'm uber excited! I live nearby and figured I would treat myself a bit before I have to go to Nutcracker rehearsal. I'm just going to have to stick to my guns and not exceed my spending limit! I will be taking pictures while I'm there and will be posting a few right then and there. Others I'll save for a juicy pic heavy post :D

I also changed the layout a bit. I was bored with the other one. It features the scrappy Japanese + and x that I made a few weeks ago. I will be tweaking a few things, but let me know what you think!



Now onto some pictures! I won Jenelle's Have-A-Hoot Giveaway way back in September and here are my pictures of what I won. I had already purchased the Have-A-Hoot Pattern, so I won all the supplies to make the pillow. I'm about to start the embroidery on the owl. I figure it would be something nice and relaxing to work on when I'm super busy. I really do love hand work.

I have to say, I use this little pouch for EVERYTHING!

The pretty fabric :D
I hope you like the new layout and are having an excellent day! I'm about to head out to the festival :D

  1. Yay! I am so excited to see your progress on this as you stitch away! It's the best part of making a pattern. :) I'm also glad you have gotten lots of use out of the pouch too.

    This "Hoot" thing gave me a great idea! Next October you should make pink pillows with an owl in the middle that say "Give a Hoot" to support breast cancer. You could donate profits to Susan G. Komen or something. Thought it would be cure with the owl/hoot/hooters!
