OOps....I was featured yesterday!

My project for the Japanese Scrap Bag Challenge was over on Sarah's yesterday.

If you click on over there, you can actually see my bellydance costume for the Dec show.

Say hi to Sarah if you stop on over! It's a fab group of creative ladies!

finally finally

done with cutting up fabric and packaging it
for my Nov Sew Bee Blissful blocks.

I'll be mailing my hoop tomorrow (a day late) as it requires dealing with an actual person because of the customs form.

Still to do:

New Bee block (fabric just arrived)
2 skill builders (I'm behind)
extra bit for pincushion swap


Catching up is unlikely til Thurs.

I meant to post yesterday...

I spent the weekend with The Pirate in Savannah.
It was my first time visiting the city.
It definitely won't be my last.

Highlights:
The Halloween dog parade
Walking and walking and walking
Ice cream at Leopold's

Fountains and cemetery statues

Finding a burger joint (that has a branch in Atlanta) that doesn't give me hives. (THIS IS GLORIOUS...and cannot fully be appreciated if one has not been rendered incredibly itchy by trying to eat fries cooked in the same fryer as one's nemesis...onion rings.)
A fireplace and a king sized bed with my own balcony!

I have lots and lots of pictures still living in the camera.
(And 2 new fat quarters for my stash from french-knot.)

Tomorrow...I have much catching up to do.
My hoop for the Misfit swap is almost done...I have to attach a back and prep it for mailing. So, it may go out a day late. I HATE THAT. I'm so anal retentive with deadlines, but this one I just couldn't make...and I spent most of tonight (once i got back) trying to put finishing touches on the front.

Coming soon....I'll be on PingsandNeedles tomorrow, I think. Voting opens on Wed.
I have to do my winter sewing list inspired by Sarah over at FairyFace Designs.

a bit belated...

I went to Kentuck last weekend.
It was folk arty and fun!

Here's a few glimpses:










It was fun! I'd definitely go back again next year.

Been busy...WIP Wed.

I *Have* been sewing.

Just not on quilts

I'm trucking away at my Hoopla for my Misfit Quilters partner.

I started cutting up fabric for Sew Bee It (my month is Nov). Turns out I'm short on some fabrics....order in, waiting for delivery, trying to mail them out Mon or Tues.

I sewed my bellydance bra (for the Nov show) at rehearsal yesterday.



I sorted the color assignment for the swap I'm running. (Pssst. They are posted on flickr if you are in the swap and didn't notice it yet.)

That's it.

Oh, and laundry. Yup...I'm that exciting.

oops

I still haven't downloaded my pics.
I spent the evening mostly grading.
There are still (I think) 9 spots open in the Black, White, & Grey charm swap.
Please come on over to our flickr group and fill out the form if you want to join in the fun and haven't yet!



Edit: We appear to be full right now. Email me if you want to be put on the waitlist!

Wooo...got back from Kentuck!

I ran away for the weekend to the Kentuck festival in Tuscaloosa, AL, with one of my best friends.
I'll post pics tomorrow.
I have to download them from my phone.

It was blast.
I am very tired.
I'm behind in my cross stitch plan for the Hoopla.
Blarg.
