Add a pair of shorts to the done pile

Kris wanted a pair of lounge shorts. So. 

She picked two different fabrics. This side is planets and

This side is a galaxy sparkle print. There cute on her. I know bad pictures lighting sucked

Two sewing projects done

I cut these out months ago and they have been sitting on my extra chair since. Mj asked for them and when we picked fabric he said I should make myself a pair too

I am talking about pj pants

I did discover something sewing his together. Late at night is not the time to cut fabric. 

His TARDISs are upside down. Rookie mistake. He doesn't care. Sweet thing he is. 

I can see this as something addicting

It took me over two hours to undo my boo boo last night. I did manage to pin it the right way and start sewing today. Quilting it will take some time but the end is with in sight. 

I also finished the hexagons and sewed them together. 

Mug rug - basically a mini quilt in oversized coaster form. Big enough for a mug and a snack (like cookies)

I will machine see the first half of the binding on then hand sew the rest. 

Proof that I am not perfect

When it comes to crafting my children think I don't make mistakes. Of course I do, all the time in fact. I have just become good at fixing or covering them. 

This time there really is no way to fix other the take apart and redo. I have to take out about 25 feet of machine sewing. I layered MJs quilt in the wrong order. I'm doing a bind less quilt and I had the quilt top on top to measure and for some reason didn't reorder before I pinned. Genius I am. 

My view for most likely the next hour :(

The year of the funk

That's what it seems to be. I am seriously still in a crafting funk. Nothing really interests me. I have been doing a little, and I mean little, here and there but nothing really completely finished. 

It took months to do this. It's MJs new quilt since he is in a twin bed (for about a year). It's waiting for quilting and then it will be done. Then the other kids are next. I have 2 already planned and drawn out and I am about 80% with a third. No idea for Codys. 

Another thing I have started

Hexies. Basically turning scraps into something. These will become a mug rug hopefully. They are fast so maybe that's what I need. 

Usually these funks only last a little bit but this is almost 6 months!!  I am even bored with reading!?!?!?! Crazy pants I know. 

Fingers crossed the end is near. There are things I want to do just can't get my self moving

15 years

I married my other half :)

Love you Honey 

I am a glutton for punishment

So with all the crap going on these days I needed something mindless to do. I wasn't really in the mood to start something new and reading just wasn't cutting it so much. So I went through all the stuff I had started already and while I was doing this my Kris asked about a quilt I started backin 2014. It was sort of an experiment really. I had quickly read on how to make a circle quilt and then tried it on my own with out the directions.  Of course the original size was a lap quilt and being me I made it much bigger - twin size.

Basically I took scraps of Christmas fabric I had bought for practically nothing and used them to make this quilt. I thought it was a great idea. Thing is I have God only knows how many circles (of course I thought the more the merrier so I used all the scraps) that then had to be hand sewn to the top fabric. That's where iI was at a few sewn down before the whole thing got put away.  I figured why not, at least I would have a few more sewn down. Well about 2 weeks later ( I worked on it in spurts) all of those blasted circles were sewn down.

I then made the quilt sandwich -backing fabric and fluff. Layer it all out and pinned it all together nice nice.

Then I sat there before rolling it all up trying to figure out what would be the best way to quilt the whole thing.  Thing is circles are not easy to sew on a machine especially with a quilt this big. So I am had quilting it. Nothing exciting just white circles around the circles.  I didn't want to take away from the fabrics.

It sat for a week and last night I started 5 down many many more to go.
