I've had a yard of it sitting on my fabric shelf for nearly a year now (*cough* hoarder *cough*), but this week I finally mustered up the courage to use it! Sometimes I grow so attached to fabrics that I am terrified to use them. Turns out, it isn't that big of a deal.
The fruit of my loins thus far...
1. Potholder2. Baby Blanket
3. Pearbelly Cat
4. Baby Bib
I made the cat last month and listed him on Etsy. He still doesn't have a home :( Maybe someone will adopt him, along with a matching baby blanket. T'would make a cute baby gift, no? The bib is still a work in progress. I think need a snap-maker...oh, and someone to show me how to use the snap-maker. My good friend Gail has been making some amazing bids lately. I think she might be JUST the person to train me in the art of snap-application. Lucky her!
I have decided that I need to take some intermediate sewing classes this summer. I am pretty awesome when it comes to sewing SQUARES.....but anything beyond that is questionable. I need some skills, yo. Till then, let there be squares. I took a quilting class a few years back, and I remember being SO excited over the small techniques, details and shortcuts that I learned in the 6 week course. It's amazing and somewhat humbling when you discover that you had been doing something one-zillion times harder than you needed to. I need MORE of that.
Ok, time to get started on the laundry and the housework. Sounds dreamy, doesn't it?

i bought a snap-maker for that vinyl bag i made. i got it from michaels with one of those 40% off coupons, so it was pretty cheap. and it is VERY easy to use. you can come over and try it out, if ya wanna. :)
