and so ends another weekend.

and we're a week closer to christmas. and i didn't get "enough" done on my gifts, whatever that magic total would be. BUT, i did get blocks done for my bee!



*untrimmed because i didn't want to screw it up by accident*


not so sure i love this one


and i got the bias tape onto the baby quilts, and some of the edging sewn down.



the preemie quilts


another baby quilt made up of the same blocks.


and i even had a bit of help from the dog.




yes, that would be old polyfill batting that she is sleeping in. :|

still no pictures!

i'm so boring lately. no, really, i am. almost all the crafting i've been doing has been gift-related, which necessitates a lack of blogging pictures. :( but never fear, tonight i sew, and that can definitely have pictures. i've got the baby quilt and the three preemie quilts basted, and lots of bias tape to bind with all ready to go. the holdup: i have to wind bobbins again. bleh! and, i've also got some blocks to make for my bee, so that should keep me out of trouble tonight. and, i've got LOTS of time to craft, since i have to be up until at least 1 to pick up mister man and his mummers from the airport. not ideal timing, but i'll take any chance i can to get more crafting done, really. and, tomorrow is gloriously all mine for crafting, minus a bit of time to be spent putting snow tires on the car, with the (hopefully!) gracious help of my brother. :)

i'z be crafty biotches.

that's right, plural. that's just how i'm rolling. going to quilt, and hopefully it will calm me down a bit. bad day at work. over work. independently wealthy please?

winter's coming...

there is snow in the forecast for EVERY.DAY. next week. thankfully, i have enough projects to allow me to hunker down and never.leave.the.house.again. ideally, of course.

yay intarwebs again!

so FINALLY my intarwebs seem to working again, which is AWESOME. i've been waiting to upload a bazillion pictures, and finally get back to blogging, it's been SO long!

i have this lingering photo of the kaffee fasset-esque quilt as it was just finished on our bed. it's keeping us nice and warm. :)



all the junk IS on mister man's side of the bed, but not by design. probably the only time ever this will happen, so good thing i caught it on film...;)

DE-linquent!

oh well. i'm here now, so what more do you want?

i'm doing well with jacquie's challenge . my wedding quilt is finished, and my friend was up this past weekend, so already got to enjoy it:



the baby blanket is basted, with an ADORABLE old sheet on the back, which i'm glad that i got to use in a cute setting...and with the leftover wedding quilt blocks, i've basted three preemie quilts for my guild's charity stuff. i'm hoping to have the quilting done on all three of these this weekend, and i have more than enough bias tape from the bias tape extravaganza of '09 to be able to bind all of these as well. YAY!

christmas knitting is also coming along: two projects finished, two more on the go, seven more waiting in the wings and then i'm DONE! sounds like it's going well, right? ;)

in other news, upholstery [class] has finished, although upholstery is not quite finished. le sigh.

the quilt, she is quilted. the binding is sewn on, and the night will be spent in pursuit of finishing hand stitching it down.

and, the socks march on. and i'm half done my mother-in-law's gift, and my mum's gift is done. still up, both sister-in-laws, both brother-in-laws, mister man, my brother, and crowns for two little nieces. but i think that it will come together quickly, so long as i keep my head down and keep going. and the next couple of weeks are going to provide a LOT of extra crafting time, which is quite exciting. :D

PLUS, for jacquie's joy in the new year challenge, the wedding quilt will make one finish, and i re-pieced the baby top with the leftover blocks from the wedding quilt, so that's almost ready to go, and next up there will be a border for the vintage sheet quilt, adn then i'll be ready to rent long-arm time and try my hand at that, which is pretty exciting.

finally, november is my month for bee addicted 3, and the girls are just making THE MOST AMAZING blocks. see here!
