quilt monday
another rooster quilt. and another kit quilt from Hamel's i love this quilt; the color, the layout, the flannel fabric. only thing i wish i had done was either make it a bit bigger or smaller. it's too small for a lap quilt and won't fit most spots on my wall where i hang quilts lol.
i'm still here
and exhausted. Jim, J and M are all on antibiotics. J and M both have bronchitis. A seemed to be on the road to recovery when he came down with another sore throat on Friday. B seems to be hanging in there-he's got a cold but nothing like the others had.
thankfully, other than being exhausted, i feel fine(thank God!) just in case, Jim switch travel weeks and is staying home this coming week and travelling the next 2 instead. he needs to be home as much i need him here. i think a week home is what he needs to get completely healthy again(he's been sick on and off since the middle of January)
did have a pretty good weekend. A and I went to see the Bruins game last night. it was fantastic! i really needed the time away from all the sneezing and coughing lol
sadly though, i got no stamping or quilting done :( i was hoping(planning lol) to get my Stampin Up swap cards done today but it wasn't meant to be. will tackle them tomorrow since they have got to be mailed Tuesday!
will leave this with you. baby quilt made for my cousin's daughter. i love how the stars make a diagonal chain through the quilt.

card friday
today's card is for my bestest friend as she is awaiting the birth of baby #5-and she's 6 days overdue!!
i was going to save this for a quilt Monday
but since i want to make something else for this spot, i thought i had better get a picture of it now before it gets put away
i made this quilt about a year or so ago. it was ridiculously easy to put together. to me it completes our bedroom
i took a picture of the back so you could see the detail of the quilting. mom did an absoulteyl amazing job of this quilt. she did feathers in the border, stippled all the white sections, did a wave in the blue and a swirl through the black border
edited to add that mom is mortified that i took a picture of her quilting where she ran over some stitches lol! sorry mom!

late night stamping
have been working on this card all day but between requested mommy snuggles from M and helping A and J get their missed schoolwork done, i just got it finished now. and truth be told, i had forgotten about it until one of the cats came running into the family room with one of the pieces stuck in her fur. i was in the process of taping the layers down when the phone rang. i left the tape exposed when i went to get the phone and forgot about the card lol
a lift and a challenge
i had already been thinking of lifting this card that Stamping Therapy had highlighted on her blog on Sunday when this challenge was posted on a stamping list this morning.
the saying stamp is from Digital Princess and one of my favorites. this is the first time i have tried doodling-i need more practice!

we've been invaded
with the flu! Jim had it beginning of February-lasted 2.5 weeks. Saturday A came down with a fever, coughing and sneezing hit Sunday, J started the cycle yesterday and when M went to bed last night he was feverish. and Jim is sick AGAIN(at least he's back at work this week lol!!)
spent most of the day yesterday cuddling and making juice and jello(lol) today i'm hoping i can get some stamping done since i didn't do any on the weekend. have a bunch of ideas running through my head and have printed off a few card maps that were posted off various stamping lists so i'm itching to start playing!

happy love day
i was leaving to get M from preschool when Jim tossed me a giftie. imagine my surprise, okay, shock lol, when i opened the gift to find this inside!
yup, it was monday
was having the typical monday. destroyed two batches for bread dough(forgot a cup of flour in the first batch, the paddle thing in the second), washed a pair of Jim's dryclean only wool pants. the topper? running to get the phone and catching my little toe against the door frame. 2.5 hours in the clinic later and yup, its broken. i break a toe every summer-last few years more than one toe lol. i normally don't go to the drs for it but this time, my toe was crooked. that was fun i tell you.
now i'm ending the day off with a BIG piece of homemade chocolate cake. yes, cake from scratch lol

so here's today's quilt-my mitten tree

heated crayons
besides the fact it took FOREVER for the ink to dry, i really like how this turned out
technique attempts
thought i would try two fun techniques-melted crayon background and heated pearls. not impressed with the results of either one lol!
here's my heated pearls attempt-i also did it on white cardstock but the black was the better of the two
and the melted crayon-i may still use this one
