First Quilt Ever Part 4

It's slow going, but I now have all my squares together.  I'm surprised how they all ended up lined so well. Only a few were a little off and I think that was because I got a little off while sewing.  Now I just need to find the fabric for the back and border.

    Love these colors! I couldn't find your e-mail address anywhere so,in response to your question about the refinished desk I did...I cut the fabric pieces big enough to cover the front of the drawers, put modge podge on the drawer,then put the fabric over top. I also put another good layer of modge podge on top too. Remove the handles before you do all that, so at the very end when it's all dry, you can put them back on top of the fabric. Hope that helps, let me know. I'd love to see how yours turns out :)

    Very cute quilt!!! Thanks for swinging by my blog. As for the chess piece chocolate mold. I bought it at a store in Richardson, Texas called the Cake Carousel. I don't know where you are, or if they ship, BUT I also saw that Amazon had the same mold for about the same price I purchased it for (2.29). This is the amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/CHESS-PIECES-Miscellaneous-Candy-Chocolate/dp/B000EJM3ZM I knew there had to be a reason other than Twilight for that mold. ;o)

Scrapbooking, Melt My Heart

  I've got one more rainbow inspired layout to share. This time I played along with Scrap Our Stash . I used the following five items up from the list. 1. Stripe Paper (I may have a rainbow stripe addiction when it comes to paper) 2. Paper Clip (the orange arrow at the top) 3. Wood Veneer (the cute arrow) 4. Flair (I've got two.  The circle heart from Amy Tangerine and the square sunshine from a Freckled Fawn Kit) 5. Enamel Dots (I've got a few green in one corner and a few orange in another)   I used a bunch of pop dots on this layout to keep some of the corners up and to give the clouds some layering.  I kind of forgotten just how handy those little things can be in giving depth to a page. I also decided to keep my journaling hidden since this page has so much going on pattern wise with no good breaks.

Car Roll Tutorial

  November is such a crazy time.  There are so many projects that have to be made for birthdays and Christmas.  Making things is so much more fun then buying something random.  Anyways, I made this cute car roll for Moose's best buddy's 2nd birthday.  I'm loving how it came out and her friend has been having a blast putting his hot wheels in the little pockets.  So here is how I made it so you can make one too!  I don't have photos for every step because Moose was "helping" me the entire time and I couldn't juggle her and a camera very well.   Supplies: 1/4 of a yard of green fabric 1/4 of a yard of some fun print fabric Batting (about 16 inches by 9 1/2 inches) 5 Pieces of scraps of fabric at are 4 inches by 4 1/2 inches Felt for roads, dirt, and water (I used the felt rectangle pieces you see everywhere in craft stores) Bias Tape Button Elastic or a hair tie  Step 1: Cut ...

Scrapbooking, Joy of Being Three

Wow summer is going by so fast.  My little guy just turned 3.  Sniffles!  I do hope it brings a little less tantruming, better sleeping, and less picky eating.  I can at least hope, right? Anyways, this is my page for the Memory Nest . I decided to make a page celebrating what three things my son loves since he is now a big three year old.  I wonder what will change and what might not.  I have a feeling he is going to keep on liking purple for a long time, but his love for firetrucks will probably change by next year.  It's hard to say though!
