Not Home, CPI Training

This has been one crazy week! I felt so bad for poor Nikolai. I don't know if it was this hectic schedule that caused him to be in such a fussy mood, or the teething that he is experiencing, or just not feeling well.

My Second Quilt Plan...

I have had this thing colored on graph paper in the zip-lock baggie with some of my fabrics.  Since I have gone through all those that I got and attempted organizing (still brainstorming that one), I had pulled this paper out. For kicks, I pulled up paint and attempted duplicating it. It was so much fun! I am so excited to maybe actually getting started sewing this thing together. It should be pretty easy (it is fairly simple!)

Dr. Seuss's Birthday!

March 2, 1904 Dr Seuss, that fantastic author we have all grown up with, was born!

How can we not celebrate the marvelous mastermind of a fantastical world full of imaginary creatures and amazing rhyme?


This is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books "Oh, The Places You'll Go"

And in honor of him I write my own poem...

"Oh, How you have affected us, if only you'd know,
the minds you have inspired and urged to grow!
You will continue to reach us through your words of wisdom,
and your extraordinary use of your imaginary kingdom!"

Fabric Stash Organizing

I have been looking and looking on pinterest to find a reasonable way to organize my fabric stash. As I may have mentioned (or not, I do not remember), I have started this Craftsy Block of the Month with my mom. It has been fun. I have also been working on the memory quilt from my high school band shirts. Just these two quilting projects has created some scraps strips. And then from my two previous quilts, I have scraps from those as well. I needed a way to organize it, that looked nice, and would somehow manage to fit into my crazily over-stuffed craft room.
