i stamped! i stamped!

and it took me so long to decide what i wanted to do that i only had time for 2 cards. and i still haven't played with my cuttlebug!

i'm not thrilled with the lighting in this picture, the paper is actually a pale blue and the ribbon is a grey/green with a green edge that matches the green layered square

card friday

isn't he cute?

i still need to sew the binding down. and draw on some eyes. and i have no green thread to match the letters so i'll have to appliqué them later. but other than that, he's finished lol! and i did the whole thing with fabric from my scrap bin, have to love that!

and stay tuned, i may have another snowman wallhanging to show you tomorrow!

wordless wednesday

why are all snowmen blue?

have you noticed that? most snowmen quilts are blue, or at least the majority of the ones i've seen have been. i know it's because the blue represents cold but they are always blue lol!

anyways, was packing away the Christmas stuff today and bringing out my snowmen collection(yes, i have so many snowmen that they come out in January after the Christmas stuff is gone) and i realized that since painting my kitchen, the table runner i had on our kitchen table for January no longer matches. so what could i do but start a new one? and sadly enough, the one i did isn't even for the table lol!

this is the pattern i was using, hence the whole why are snowmen blue babble above. i just couldn't bring myself to do it in blue. so i ended up emptying out my scrap bin and found the wonderful snowmen fabric(that there was exactly just enough of!) i ended up using in the border and went from there. you may remember, i had started this wall hanging last month but goofed on the letters. i got it right this time!

not sure why mine looks like a cowboy snowman but hey, i like it.

and just when i went to quilt it, i discovered i'm out of batting!! and i still need a winter table runner lol!!
