Monday Mayhem

Welcome to Monday!

 

Today is mayhem here on the blog.  I have lots to get done this week and I am starting full force this morning.  I was busy yesterday doing lots of sewing.  I did my charity blocks for our guild, and I have some Secret Santa gifts in the works.  I am going to be working hard today!  Here is a peek of the tote bag I am working on for my sister.  This is one of several projects in the works!

 

 

Off to make a valiant effort on knocking out some projects today!

Let me know what you are currently working on!

 

Have a great Monday!

Monday Mayhem Labor Day

It's Labor Day and Monday Mayhem!

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday weekend!  It's hard to believe that this is the unofficial end to the summer.  Wow!  This has been a busy weekend.  I have been working to finish up my card order and I hope to get to sew later today.  I haven't sewn anything in about a week, so I am itching to get to work on some projects!  Here is a look at some fabric I picked out for a tote bag my sister has requested.  She loved the tote bag I made for my swap, so she said she wanted one.  The colors for the bag were to be brown, cream, yellow, red and green.  So, I happened to be out at Joann's the other day and came across this beautiful fabric.  The picture does not do it justice.  It is a little more golden in color and I had Kona solids in Chocolate, Espresso, Corn and Grass Green to pair with it.  this will be a project I do sometime very soon in the next few weeks!  :)



 

Let me know what you think of this fabric!

Have a Marvelous Monday and a safe Labor Day!

Working Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!!

 

I hope your Wednesday has started well!  I have been to the gym and back and now I am getting ready to tear into this busy day!  It has been a busy week so far.  I have worked on several projects and here is the update.

 

The tote bag I made for the Sew SwapIt swap has flown the coop.  I sent it yesterday and I can't wait for my partner to get it!  It is bold, big and bright!  I wanted to keep it, but sadly I had to send it off!  Oh well!  I sure hope Jackie likes it!  I will reveal pictures of it on Friday.  She wanted to be surprised, so I will hold off on posting.  :)

 

I also got one order of cards done and out the door.  They were for my sister and there were 44 birthday cards in the order.  On to the next thing!

 

I am quilting a quilt for a friend and I got it pinned last night and the binding strips cut out.  I will be working to quilt it today I think, in between working on cards for a big order I have.  I think this will be a good mix of projects that I can go back and forth on.  At least I think I can do work on both today!  We will see!  Here is a pic of the quilt I am quilting.  This is such a pretty quilt and I can't wait to see it finished!

 

Got to run and get busy!  Have a great Wednesday!

Fun Friday!

Happy Friday!

Hey there everyone!  It's Friday and it's going to be busy!  This has been a very busy week, but I have not gotten as much done as I had hope!  Going to be working on my tote today!  Yes, I have not made a lot of progress this week, due to some other things coming up.  I have to get it done asap and move on to some other projects, so that is my focus today!  I will be taking some progress pictures along the way today to show you all this weekend.  I only have a couple of pieces put together at the moment, so I haven't taken any pics yet.

I also have Quiltcon blocks to get done and some card samples.  Going to be a busy weekend!

I thought I would share another photo I took at the beach.  This was on the first full day we were there.  This huge sand castle complex was made by a family that was right next to us.  They must have worked on it the whole day and it was quite impressive.  Our nieces and nephews dug and built various sand castle creations all week and had so much fun!  Wish I was back there!

Hope you all have a Fabulous Friday and a great weekend!

Working Wednesday

It's Wednesday!

Hope you are having a great day! 

Well, yesterday I did not get much done!  I think I was in a kind of fog.  I looked at patterns for my tote, did some research and then just zoned out late yesterday.  Not sure why, but maybe I was a little overwhelmed.  Today has started out better and I am on a good path to get some stuff done!

Here is a picture I took while I was on vacation last week.  This is the Cherry Grove Pier in North Myrtle Beach.  We usually always go to the pier and walk out to the end and we just never made it there this year.  Wish I was still at the beach!  It was so relaxing!

Time to get back to creating!  I will update you tomorrow!

Have a great day!

Monday Mayhem!

It's Monday, time for Mayhem!

I am back from a little break, a much needed vacation break to the beach! 
I love the beach because it is so calm and soothing to hear the waves crash upon the sand. 
It makes me feel relaxed and rejuvenated. 

Now, time for mayhem!
I have a lot to do this week. I have a tote bag to make for my SewSwapIt Group.  My partner likes bold and bright colors like me, so I picked out this fabric earlier.  Hope she likes it!

I have three QuiltCon Blocks to make in the next few days.  I just could not get to them before I left for vacation, so now it is time to kick it into high gear and get those done over the next few days. 
I am so excited about QuiltCon and I can't wait til February!

I also have some handmade card prototypes to make for a potential order and other cards to start on for two other different orders.  Looks like August just might be a very busy month!  :)

Have a great Monday!

Tote Bag Time!

As you may or may not know, I have recently started sewing and have made several small baby quilts for charity and several things for swaps at our Modern Quilt Guild.  This is a Market Bag Tote that I made for our swap for Shop Hop!  I love this fabric, but had to swap this tote!  I do have just enough to possibly make me one that is a little smaller.  LOL 

I am really enjoying sewing and quilting. I am working on two different Block of the Month Blocks from different different quilt stores. I have also finished a vintage sports baby quilt top, just need to quilt it now. I have plenty(and I mean plenty) of fabric!   LOL   Don't we all? I have lots of projects planned and will be sharing these as I do them.

Hope you have a great night!
