More Progress

So it's been a while since I've updated on the progress of my quilt and it's been going quite well so far, I've actually almost completed the quilt top. I had to stop because I ran out of the white fabric I was using and the sheet fabric I did have was a different weight and wouldn't look right. I've gone to the store and gotten 2 more meters so I have plenty now and can move on.


This is what the quilt top looks like with the white sashing and black squares finally added in! I have three strips this size finished so far and I only have one more section of 3 rows and I can sew them all together!

My boyfriend's mom also gave me three bolts of beautiful fabric she got for free from a teacher's recycling depot! So now I have tons of great fabric for thinkgs like backing. Now I just need to find time between jewellery and work to get back to the sewing machine!

Happy Crafting!

Time for an upgrade

So as you've seen in my photos of my dining room I have a beautiful vintage dining set I inherited from my grandmother. My mom made a silver table cloth for it when we still lived in a house and she had room for it. She also recovered the chairs in a very nice gold fabric however the gold just doesn't go with my dining room. So! Time for an Update!


I found some beatuiful tone on tone fabric at my favourite fabric store. It's a slightly asian floral pattern in white on a toapy ivory background. It's very fresh and elegant which is just perfect for my dining room.

Modded Midnight Muffins

Has it ever gotten late and suddenly you are hit with an overwhelming desire for baked goods?
It happens to me all the time.
Tonight I desired muffins.
I love muffins.
However tonight I have limited baking supplies. Only one egg. That means no pumpkin muffins. I have oatmeal though. But I don't want to spend an hour waiting for the oatmeal to soak in buttermilk. I don't have sour milk anyways and I don't have vinegar to make sour milk.
God bless the Internet and it propensity for recipes for anything.
Oatmeal muffins it is! But I don't want plain oatmeal muffins... LET THE MODDING COMMENCE!
My modding is actually not that special. I just added cinnamon, nutmeg and a cup of frozen peaches, blue berries and black berries.


I hope you enjoyed this sleep deprived baking adventure.

Making Progress

So the quilt is coming along nicely. I officially have all of the 4 square blocks sewn together. For the past few days they have been laid out in the middle of my living room floor while I tried to decide how the pattern should be laid out. (Sorry no photos, I finally cleaned them up this afternoon). So next on the list is cutting out all the sashing pieces and the black borders for all of the smaller squares that are going in between. That will be a job in itself sewing all that together.

On the jewellery front I must admit to being very lazy. :( I seem to be in a bit of a creators block and nothing seems to be going right so I haven't been able to motivate myself into going to the studio as of late. However I do have the day off tomorrow so I will endeavor to make myself go in and get something done. Sales seem to be doing pretty well in Lake Placid so I really need to get some new things made for Antediluvian. Wish me luck!
