So this happened to those cute little booties yesterday...... Thankfully there were no babies that were hurt in the destruction of these booties.  However the bootie is a loss and another one must be knitted. It must be baby bootie month because I managed to get a grey pair done earlier this month... just in time for a baby shower tomorrow!! I'll be knitting booties for awhile as I have about 3 other babies that need some cute little things on their tiny little feet. Our local knitting store is closing and it makes me a little sad.  It's just so hard to keep local businesses going in this town.  I came home with these things the other day.  I wanted to buy more yarn but I had to pace myself.  I still have yarn from the last yarn store that closed! The grey and purple will make cute little booties and the yarn kits will be perfect baby blanket for future little grands! It's raining outside and I'd rather be knitting than going t...

It's the last week of April...and where did it go? I must say it has been a hectic month with lots of change, and hopefully all for the good.  So needless to say, sewing and knitting has not been a priority this month. However I did manage to get a few things done.  How cute are these little booties?

After our quilt retreat a few weeks ago, I decided that my sewing room needed a quilt design board. There are instructions all over the internet and I thought really how hard can it be? When I saw these 2ft x 2 ft insulation boards at my local Menard's I knew this is what I needed and it would make putting one together so much easier!.  The boards were only $3.99 each and I picked up four of them giving me a 4ft x 4 ft area, perfect for what I needed. My first step was to wrap batting around each of the boards.  I used 505 spray on the batting so that it would adhere to the board making it easier to attach it with a staple gun. And this is what it looked like once the batting was attached. The next step was to take flannel and wrap that around the batting and the insulation.  I used the 505 spray on the flannel as well. It sure makes it easier when you have a bolt of white flannel in your stash! I used 1/2 inch staples which was fine u...
