words i am pondering today

Friday's Finds

It is gloomy, rainy day--and cold! We finally have Winter again, now that it is officially Spring. The past two days I have been actually having to add wood to the fire throughout the day.  I guess it's nice--encourages being at home, cozy, getting school done. I just really liked that little heat wave we had last week, temperatures in the 70's!  Oh, and I know you folks from the truly cold places are just weeping for me, what with it being all of 50 degrees outside. 

But the gloom outside today and the drab I feel inside just make me long for beauty--and color!

Time to brighten the eyes with beauty and color from etsy:

    Believe it or not -- I have started a project using the same technique as the quilt that was the 1st thing that you pictured. Hope mine turns out at pretty. I like the technique so much that I have bought two more pieces of fabric to use. The one I am working on is for fall. The other 2 are for Christmas and spring. I guess I will have to take a break from working on little girl dresses:)

    I know, Jessica, I wish I knew how to crochet! I'm so not crafty, though. I do think if that skirt was longer it would be absolutely adorable on you. : )

    Mom, I can't wait to see it! Is it a quilt for a bed, or a wall hanging? (I am assuming the later, since you plan on making it seasonal)

    It started out to be a tablecloth, but now I am not sure:) It is such a fun technique to do. I have finished the completely unplanned part of the technique. I have also made cubes that you can see into to use with it. Next comes the planned part. But I have put that off because of all the other sewing that I have been doing. Changing the subject -- I am almost through with B's birthday dress. Next I want to make a sundress for all 3. I bought the fabric down in Mobile.
