I have an addiction....

I have been so good at avoiding buying more fabric and more kits. I am good that way...and then one day the dam opens up and it's like I am buying stuff left and right. Such was the weekend for me!

It started with Friday's inspirations and that darn quilt kit in my Etsy store.

Usually they sit in my Etsy store and the desire for the quilt goes away....not this time!

And then V and Co. came out with another pre-order for this quilt....Walk in The Park, Ombre quilt

I had seen this earlier and by the time I had looked for it, she was all sold out of the quilt kits. So guess what I did this time...I ordered it before it sold out! Of course I did!

And then we went to a wedding this past weekend and of course I found quilt store and of course all I was going to do was to "LOOK" and of course this all just fell into my lap!

Quilting Therapy in Liberty, MO is wonderful quilt shop. They don't have much fabric but what they have is wonderful. I would say that most of the quilts they had displayed had a very modern twist to it. I had seen the Thrive panel online but it was the first time I had seen it in public.

I had seen some of the things people were making out of it when it the market. This quilt was one that Natallia and her mother Kathleen had designed.

But the one I really like the most were these placemats. There are 6 quote panels in all. I thought that the placemat pattern would be perfect for a smaller wall quilt.

The layer cake of Grunge Hits the Spot would be perfect for one of my Layer Cake Recipe Books:

Well there you have it. I went from July to December of last year and only bought one quilt kit! It is March and I have since added 4 more quilt kits!

It must be the fact that I sold 3 quilts on ETSY and now all that money is burning a hole in my pocket. Well until I get some quilts done...I am finished buying anything else.....

well so she says.....

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic. But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again. There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant". There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized. At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated. We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Craft night!

Daughter #3 and I have been wanting to do a craft night for quite awhile. When our local studio offered this Map String Art class I knew we just had to go! The class was set up to do the map in red, white and blue. We didn't want to have two of the same thing so I decided to do mine in different colors. I went out and bought ... you guessed it .. purple and white string!! We had so much fun!! think they turned out pretty well! Here's a close up of mine after I cleaned it up: This wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. They used this site for their inspiration: http://thetwinery.com/2013/08/inspired-by-pinterest-map-twine-art.html I think I'd like to do one of our home state of Kansas next. Pinterst had some pretty good sites; http://www.sugarbeecrafts.com/2014/10/missouri-love.html#_a5y_p=2693507 And finally here's a picture of our class: I can't wait for our next craft night!!

Capsule Wardrobe

I have thought about doing a capsule wardrobe for quite awhile. Now that the season is changing I thought I would see if I can make it work. I scoured the web and Pinterest for information. I found this great site that at least helped me find a starting spot. One of the tips was to chose a base color, black or blue and go from there. Black was the obvious choice for me. I need to say that I decided to start this project at 9pm at night. I decided to clean out my closet at 9pm, was I crazy? Yes, but I forged on... I cleaned out my closet, then I started with pants, skirts, tops etc. I used the website to help me figure out what I needed. Long sleeve knits, in three basic colors, grey, white and black. Same for the short sleeves. Then I moved to the next thing skirts, three skirts, grey, black and denim. Next was sweaters, grey, black....are you starting to see a pattern? I realized as I moved through the ...
