I was so blessed to be part of their day. My husband is the older groomsman with the goatee. There is even a glimpse or two of me in my polka dot dress and in the salon, sans makeup, directing the hairdresser because I can’t help butting in!! That would be, however, why they asked me to be the reception coordinator!</p> <p><iframe height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/X03axqbCfeQ" frameborder="0" width="420" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> Loralynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15639809624070979958noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755668985861152050.post-47305049810425917132013-07-18T08:15:00.001-07:002013-07-18T08:15:46.689-07:00Boys will be boys…<p>I had to share this.

Even though I am crazy busy right now, I just couldn’t resist the pull of the Tammy bag’s influence!</p> <p align="center">I started out with some Lecien fabric that I have been saving for a long time. I didn’t know what I was going to use it for. You know that fabric. You love it, don’t want to cut it, so it sits on the shelf gathering dust waiting for that “perfect” project. I didn’t have a lot of it, so I figured the Tammy bag really was perfect project for it!</p> <p align="center">I added a spiral crochet rope that I made from some variegated crochet cotton to be a scissors keeper, since I am always misplacing my scissors. I decided to make a little heart out of the same thread and I sewed it on just the one side. I also added some crochet trim that I purchased at JoAnn’s to the pockets on both the outside and the inside. </p> <p align="center">Now on to the pictures:</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-WqLQWRXJnO4/UbqfNGDVrBI/AAAAAAAAH8k/JuanunuMmJw/s1600-h/1%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="1" border="0" alt="1" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-qy2pJggSdOU/UbqfNeO4zRI/AAAAAAAAH8s/eEPXMZs3O04/1_thumb%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="449" height="386"></a></p> <p align="center">I added a Swarovski crystal dangle that I made along with my initial charm and some crochet markers that I made a while ago.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-vRkm9XtOjnY/UbqfN2XlSwI/AAAAAAAAH80/fUnlfNZv6kA/s1600-h/3%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="3" border="0" alt="3" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-RMSR9MWaUhc/UbqfOXjTdkI/AAAAAAAAH88/TrvrzYh6Qj0/3_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="449" height="388"></a></p> <p align="center">Here you can see my current embroidery project goodies all tucked inside safe and sound.<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-zRVOoIstToM/UbqfOyYlGcI/AAAAAAAAH9E/_qWdqBCpdXk/s1600-h/5%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="5" border="0" alt="5" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-qMlhA2YTpmU/UbqfPDOOvyI/AAAAAAAAH9M/r4dtlUdWrqU/5_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="449" height="384"></a></p> <p align="center">Here are all the goodies that I had tucked in there. Lots of floss colors, my embroidery piece, a needle book, a ruler, a pencil, a notebook (just in case I become inspired), my drawn pattern and some bits, bobs and beads that I am embellishing my needlework project with. I also have some sewing thread and gold accent thread in the outside pockets. Even with all this stuff in the bag, I still had plenty of room for lots more!<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jufEdRcDDEM/UbqfPgjVyLI/AAAAAAAAH9U/BWOh-aU9fyE/s1600-h/4%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="4" border="0" alt="4" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-9bMvbDlLHyM/UbqfQKQ7slI/AAAAAAAAH9c/Olrjj6iysFs/4_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="449" height="321"></a></p> <p align="center">This was a fun project and I really enjoyed making it.

Yesterday was our first “real” spring day. It was lovely! It got into the mid-sixties and it was so awesome to finally open the windows and blow out all the stale winter air from the house!

The quilt is gifted at the bridal shower to the bride-to-be. Mine, which I received 27 years ago, is, well, to put it nicely…ugly. The block my Mother made is very pretty though. She did an embroidery piece, which really means a lot, because, my Mom doesn’t like to embroider even though she did a lovely job. </p> <p>As a result of my seriously ugly quilt (some of the blocks look like they were pieced with old clothes…blech…), I have always made a point of making the blocks I create for the quilts that much nicer. </p> <p>My favorite Niece, whose wedding I will be in this summer…great story, I’ll tell you about it later…wants a vintage theme for her quilt. So, here is my answer to the “perfect” block for it:</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-6fImY3d63uU/UV8gIW29kwI/AAAAAAAAHzE/z06NKT08RH0/s1600-h/jayme%252527s%252520block%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="jayme's block" border="0" alt="jayme's block" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-AXpMaA-w4OI/UV8gI3aAQcI/AAAAAAAAHzM/5CZ7ry_ckWI/jayme%252527s%252520block_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="459" height="473"></a></p> <p>It is a hand appliqué block from a freebie by Erin Russek over at <a href="http://erinrussek.typepad.com/">One Piece at a Time</a>.

I have to tell you this project ended up being so much harder than it should have. <br>I have been so sick the last month it’s not funny. I started with a pinched sciatic nerve which turned into a severe reaction to the steroid they gave me. Then I moved into bronchitis and wouldn’t you know it…had a bad reaction to the medication they gave me for that! It sure makes being sick harder when you are afraid that the “cure” is going to make you even more miserable than the illness!!!<br>Well, enough whining…here is my project for the “Stitch Me Up” blog hop:<br><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-j0msWRT1oA4/UVNtrkD_DPI/AAAAAAAAHuA/CXO81A0bmwY/s1600-h/a%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="a" border="0" alt="a" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--7XRhxh9Zq8/UVNtrybVYqI/AAAAAAAAHuI/ExJ4XBsHMO0/a_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="461" height="398"></a><br>I have had this fabric, Lil’ Miss Sew & Sew by Dan Morris sitting in my stash for some time now. I just didn’t quite know what to do with it and didn’t really want to cut into it…you know how it is! Well, I was holding on to it for a good reason. When I received the patterns for this blog hop, “Nana’s chair” by Debbie Martinez jumped right out at me. A match made in heaven!<br><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8SXbbx76V8U/UVNtsVvpgaI/AAAAAAAAHuQ/H30z5Sa9DTk/s1600-h/b%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="b" border="0" alt="b" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-SOsAGRW-TMA/UVNtsiy6YRI/AAAAAAAAHuY/WsXQWZylLgQ/b_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="462" height="462"></a><br>I embroidered everything using different numbered strands of DMC floss depending on the look I was going for. I used lace trim flowers that I hand colored with markers in place of the embroidered flowers. The lace on the back of the chair is actually my first attempt at satin stitch…not the greatest, but still not bad for a first attempt. The buttons are also hand colored using markers to match the flowers. I added a hand embroidered border around the block to add extra detail and pull the whole project together. After everything was sewn together I did some minor quilting and then added the binding by hand. The finished size on the wall hanging is 39” x39”<br>Over all I am very pleased with how my wall quilt has turned out. I even have a couple of squares left from the panel to make matching pillows for the couch the quilt will hang above.<br>Thanks to Jane, Mdm Samm and all the wonderful designers for organizing this fun blog hop!<br>Make sure you visit the other participants for today!<br>Kristin @<a href="http://thatotherblogg.blogspot.com/">That Other Blog</a> <br>Robin @<a href="http://thatotherblogg.blogspot.com/">That Other Blog</a> <br><a href="http://janesfabrics.blogspot.com/">Jane's Fabric and Quilts</a> <br><a href="http://dexterdays-sdk.blogspot.com/">Dexterdays The WorldThrough Our Window</a> <br><a href="http://sewnicely.blogspot.ie/">Sew Nicely </a><br><a href="http://thistlecreekcottage.blogspot.com/">thistle creek cottage</a> <br><a href="http://jersey-scrapper.blogspot.com/">Just Sew Sue</a> <br><a href="http://janky-napady.blogspot.cz/">Co mne bavi...</a> <br><a href="http://catsnqlts2.blogspot.com/">life, quilts and a cat too</a> <br><a href="http://teatimecreations.blogspot.com/">TeaTimeCreations</a> <br><a href="http://readquiltcookpray.weebly.com/">Read, quit, cook, pray</a> <br><a href="http://cateslinens.blogspot.com/">Cate's Linens</a> <br><a href="http://www.shadetreequilting.com/">Shade Tree Quilting</a> <br><a href="http://brtowsleyblogs.blogspot.com/">Ladybug Dreams</a> Loralynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15639809624070979958noreply@blogger.com56tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755668985861152050.post-30450300197566142462013-03-27T10:24:00.001-07:002013-03-27T10:24:26.639-07:00Stitch Me Up day 6…<h5>Only two more days of our blog hop after today!

I’m actually really excited about this one as when they sent me the patterns to choose from, one jumped right out at me! I ran to my stash and found the absolutely perfect fabric for the project. That doesn’t happen very often. I usually have to go to the fabric store to find “just the right thing.” This time, it fell into place wonderfully. </p> <p>Now, I can’t show you the project just yet, as it isn’t quite finished and I have to wait for the big reveal until my day, but I thought I would show you a little teaser! </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-zpLbJR6R_v0/UTTalSHVF9I/AAAAAAAAHtg/eYCNRYzDNtc/s1600-h/chair%252520close2%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="chair close2" border="0" alt="chair close2" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YwSSR5TcTRY/UTTalmEJL0I/AAAAAAAAHto/VSoZzIUqUBU/chair%252520close2_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="203"></a></p> <p>I have really enjoyed the challenge to my creativity.

I couldn’t resist highlighting my favorite entry for the day! These darling heart mug rugs are from Rosemary B. She doesn’t have a blog, so Madam Samm is hosting her at “<a href="http://thatotherblogg.blogspot.com/">That Other Blog</a>.” I just may have to make a couple of these for myself!</p> <p><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NKqttCpTTm8/URfDjLox7GI/AAAAAAAAHXY/KtrKA7ScLQI/s400/IMG_2027.jpeg"></p> Loralynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15639809624070979958noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755668985861152050.post-21578266935001619872013-02-10T15:23:00.001-08:002013-02-10T15:23:31.998-08:00Paperman<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aTLySbGoMX0" width="560"></iframe>Loralynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15639809624070979958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755668985861152050.post-12029321556665959422012-09-19T08:48:00.001-07:002012-09-19T08:49:49.273-07:00Very Pinteresting…<p>I find myself spending WAY too much time on Pintrest.
