Hugs & Kisses Blog Hop…

There’s a blog hop going on over at Sew We Quilt. 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 “That Other Blog.” I just may have to make a couple of these for myself!

Very Pinteresting…

I find myself spending WAY too much time on Pintrest. Half of my crafting time is being taken up by just looking at all the wonderful things other people have made and pinned.

Here are a few of my favorites that I would like to make…someday!!!

Fusion Blanket Crochet-a-long…

So a while back I saw this picture and fell in love:Sewing Daisies: Kaffe Fusion Blanket

It’s Heidi’s from http://www.sewingdaisies.com.au. She calls it her Kaffe fusion blanket. It combines two things I love, sewing and crocheting!

Then, since I’m always looking at things I want to make, and never getting back to them, I forgot about it. Until…I found this post at Little Miss Shabby’s blog. Well, now I’m hooked! (haha!)

I won a giveaway over a year ago that included a charm pack and some scraps from April Cornell’s Nature’s Chorus line. I was already in love with this line and had a little bit of it myself.

I put it away to save for when I found the perfect project. Well, guess what…now I have! I will turn this into a fusion blanket!

Why not join in the fun? Heidi made a button for the sidebar and a flicker pool. Come on…you know you want to!!!

Time marches on…

I can’t believe it has been two months since I posted anything. I just really haven’t had much to say. I’ve thought of posts to make…but I am a card carrying member of the procrastinators club, so I haven’t posted any of them.

My #3 child just graduated from high school. That has been…well…exciting and depressing at the same time. I am so proud of him, yet wish he would stay my little boy forever. He will be attending Central Michigan University in the fall and has been accepted into their marching band. Our local paper did an article on him, so I thought I would share it with you:

My daughter has her dance recital this weekend. I am still in the process of making a poodle skirt for one of her ten dance numbers she will be participating in. I’m sure I’ll share pictures of her after the recital.

We have my son’s graduation open house next weekend. And my oldest two are home from college for the summer. Hectic, fun, exhausting, exhilarating, emotional, crazy! That has been my last few weeks.

I leave you with a link to a new (to me) blog: http://www.thecottagemarket.com/ She has a little of everything there. Make sure you check out her tutorials, she has some great ideas!

Dresden Plate Tutorial…

I have a love-hate relationship with dresden plates. I love the way they look…I hate how mine always turn out wonky. I’m going to give the tutorial over at Shawkl a try. If I succeed, I’ll post a picture of my plate! Click the picture to go to Shawkl’s site!
