~I'm Stuck!!~
I'm totally stuck, frazzled, confused..all the above. Quilting is so much fun as is paper scrap booking. But I get STUCK when it comes to what to put and where to put it. Literally possibilities are endless. This embellishing habit can go on and on and on and on and never end. So my new dilemma...what to border this quilt with...what to put on it..stitches, etc? And where is it going? I'm sure several quilt and sewing fanatics can make fun of this reasoning I have. Beth says that this is pretty common with quilters. They get stuck with the extra details. SO, I made a nice kid-less trip to the fabric store after the girls got together. Grabbed some cute stuff to border, new stitching thread and tons of the cutest buttons. And this weekend, hopefully I can relax and start to decide where everything will go. I do have an extra week before we get together again so I have some time to think on this! Whew.
Also, HUGE CHANGES going on at SMJ Designs. This fabulous guy in London is moving my site to a new fast awesome server. So if you need some SMJ Goods, shoot me an email or try waiting maybe a day or two. Trust me, you'll love the difference. But again so sorry that it's not up yet. I know these things take time and rest assured it'll be worth it. :)
OKay til then, here's some pics to share. Isn't this little princess cute? Sash sewed this up so quickly! I showed my mom and I think my mom will be making some cute tops like this for Chayce. Soooo totally cute! I think Sash should start up a boutique or something. I know I can't sew like this yet..hopefully soon...Eva you totally inspire me girl with your adorable outfits! I think sewing will become my new 'hobby' away from my work hobby...digital scrapbooking. So I'm kinda excited about that. and excited that the fabrics out there are pretty awesome. Oh and I finished my desk chair. SO CUTE! Just have to do the bulletin board and I'll show ya'll how cute this office project turned out.
Til then..wishing you all a creative day! And I leave you with....the Joshua Tree. He made this in class..Pretty neato if you ask me.
Cheers!
