Miss Addie does the best she can to amuse us while we wait for our human baby.
She has no idea how drastically it’s all about to change…
I won!
I won!
I won!
My long, cursed spell of raffle losing has finally been broken. This morning I woke up to a nice little note from Between the lines letting me know that I had won their December giveaway. What a cute little bag! I am a lucky girl.
I found this contest via Sew, Mama, Sew’s December 2009 giveaway list. Make sure you keep a close eye on this blog for future raffle lists. So much fun surfing all the handmade blogs – especially when there’s a chance to win!
Thanks again to Between the lines! I can’t wait to use my cute new bag.
Wowzers! I seem to be existing in the place where time is moving super fast and slow all at once. Every day just seems to zip by, but at the end of each of them I feel like I’ve accomplished very little. Or I guess I should say that I’m accomplishing little other than what my “nesting” instincts dictate (I’ll share more about that later).
A couple weeks ago my partner and I had the very talented Desiree Fawn take some photos of us pre-baby. Not only did we get some really lovely pictures/memories, but she was a wonderful photographer and eased my camera shy jitters more than most have been able to.
I thought I’d share a couple of my favourite shots, and then send you on over to her Flickr stream to check out the rest of them.
The Dresden Plate design has to be my absolute favourite thing in quilting right now. I am truly and absolutely obsessed.
What I want is to create a quilt of my own, what I need is the energy to do so. Imagining a project that could take weeks or months has always been a huge road block, and I think this is where my motivation is dying here. But soon enough I will be off work and I’ll have a little free time to work on personal craft projects.
For now I just wanted to share some of my inspirations. For more quilt inducing photos, check out the Dresden Plates in Quilting group on Flickr.

I love and adore this beautiful quilt that Tiny Happy posted a while back. Personally, I’ve always thought of the purple/black colour combo as the mascot of 15 year old goth girls – but perhaps my mind has been changed.
Have a look for yourself and I dare you to not spend the next three hours dreaming of all the things you can put together in my new best friend hues.
