So here is a picture of my new Canon Xsi camera with a very old lens attached…

That black patch on the bag is the most serious velcro known to mankind.  I will know if someone is trying to steal my camera, because of the sound that velcro makes when the flap is pulled open.  There’s [...]

Here’s the hobo bag I sent Beth for my 200th post giveaway:
 
I just love the Wonderland fabric, and couldn’t cover up these cute birdies:

And part of the reason it took me so long to make the bag was that I was also working on another one simultaneously for my friend Jöelle:
 
I decided to hold Rachael’s [...]

I have a new tote bag. 
And surprisingly, I didn’t make it. 
Even more surprising, it’s made from fabrics that you can’t exactly buy yet.
I think you’ll like it – very cute, and you know I love owls.

 
Yeah, I might have received this from Ms. Pink, she was giving away samples made from Hushabye, due out in [...]

I’m blown away by all of the comments – y’all are very random, and wear pretty underoos! 
*drumrolls*  The random winners are (and yes, I’m way too lazy to copy in the proof):
Chen who said: “How’s this for random…I went to sleep in my bed and woke up on the floor by the front door. Yes, I [...]

When Tracey posted about wanting some motivation to create things for herself, I had to agree.  While I love the VQBs and swaps I’m participating in, projects for me can be pushed to the side. 
So I signed up for the Because I Matter Challenge, and will submit my progress at the end of each month [...]

First of all, I apologize for the delay in this post – life (and in-laws) get in the way sometimes.  Anywho…
Wheee!!  I had a ton of fun reading all of your comments on my giveaway post – including all of the guesses on the polish color for my latest pedi.  I loved your rationales for [...]

EDIT: This giveaway is closed – winners announced here.
Did you know that isn’t proper grammar?  I didn’t until a couple of weeks ago, when a friend corrected me via email.  People, I PRIDE myself on my grammar for formal writing (blog writing isn’t formal for me) (I didn’t get a 35 on the English portion of the ACT in [...]

This is post #197 – the Giveaway post is coming soon.  I figured it would happen a lot quicker, but I’ve been seriously tired the past couple of weeks, so the blog posting is slow (and I don’t have much to post about).  I do have a fun idea in mind for some extra entries [...]

So after not completing ANY projects in the month of January, I’m finally on my way to getting some of these things off my plate.
First up, the B&W couch quillow. This is how it looks all pillowed-up; it’s very small (11×12, I think), which makes sense, since the quilt is only a yard of fabric [...]
