So things are relatively calm here on the homefront. Granted, I still have my days that I feel as if everything is sucky but I'm able to work through it. Of course, I have about a gazillion projects going on in the house with not a end in sight for any of them. I'm still weaving, still knitting, still sewing and would like to bust out my spinning wheel one day. I'm just not doing too much of each. Or maybe, it's plenty of each just not enough to get anything done.
I recently discovered a big box of amy butler fabric in my garage. I have no idea how I forgot it was out there, I guess sometimes life gets in the way, but it's found now and I couldn't be happier. I need a new quilt for my bedroom so am currently working on a very simple piece. I realize the picture is uber crappy, I didn't have the energy to make it all artsy fartsy but the fabric is beautiful! My only real concern is quilting the damn thing, it's huge! King Sized. Although my batting only needs to be quilted every ten inches, I'm still going to have to figure out a way to get the thing through my machine. It should be interesting to say the least. I'll be sure to keep you all updated, I'm sure you are waiting with bated breath. ha ha...
I have some other very exciting news but I'm going to wait until the end of the week to share. In the meantime. Take care. I love all of you and get outside and enjoy the weather.
love you too lady

You could always hand quilt it. heehee
Or a simple design that you could do with the machine. You know a simple shape to correspond with the designs in the fabric. It's really beautiful. I am sitting here holding my breath actually. lol
And we did get outside this weekend. To a park with a creek and fresh water spring. Catching crawdads and picnicing. :)

And I'm looking forward to hearing your exciting news, too. :)

It's better to stay busy at home than to be bored and get lazy.
