craft retreat!

(mickey is hand sewing ruffles!)

today i'm spending the day crafting with a bunch of ladies from my MOPS group.

we're scrapbooking, sewing, repurposing photo frames, quilting...

have a wonderful day!

((mickey is giving away one of her adorable handmade valentine's coffee cozys on her blog!))

hand quilted

i made this quilt. finished it last night!

it isn't perfect (the top two rows on the right somehow got switched. see how it doesn't make a diamond?), but i think it turned out pretty amazing.

it was handmade and hand tied with love.

i think isaiah is going to love unwrapping this big bundle on Christmas morning. i can't wait to see him snuggle down on the couch with it and watch Thomas.

my next venture is to make two of these quilts. with these sets of fabric:

what do you think?! (:

[a big thank-you to Chris for lending me her quilt-in-a-day book for a few months!]

DIY FRIDAY:Crayon Art!

i was inspired by this pin on pinterest.

i used 58 crayons on a 16x20 canvas.

i glued all of the crayons to the canvas with my hot glue gun, then took my blow dryer to them. they melted beautifully. i may melt the next set more and let them drip all the way down.

oh, and i listened to the new NeedToBreathe whilst i crafted.

 

it's my half birthday today. (25 1/2, baby!)

i may get my nails done. i might will definatley eat chinese. lots and lots of chinese.

happy friday, lovies.
