Crafting 101

So remember when I bought the batting and the back of my quilt? Well, when I went to line it all up, she didn’t give me enough fabric for the back! Ugh! She measured it and all and I think she just thought of a number. So I had to rework it a little bit, but I got the quilt pinned and ready to tie and sew the border. I am not sure if I’m going to put it in the machine or hand sew it, but we will see. I plan on starting the tying tonight after I finish writing this. Hopefully I’ll get a lot done. The kids are watching a movie so maybe I’ll get some done.

So I’ve been trying to find grommets for my purse. The ones my friend had were too small for my straps so I went to a couple of places today and the only colors they have were gold, silver and bronze. I think the bronze are good and will work, but man, I’d really like some color! So I’m going to check and see if I can find any online that are colorful. So I don’t know if I’ll have it done by my birthday (which is tomorrow!) But at least it’s done, well almost.

So I hope that January has gone well for you! I feel like I’ve gotten lots done, not as much as I’ve wanted, but a lot. Remember, February is all about hearts and love and gifts so I hope you’ll enjoy it!
