another quilt top . . .

I was supposed to be working on 7 crinolines today for the flowergirls for my brother's wedding. And I did get one done, but then all my kids fell asleep so I had no one to try it on to see if it turned out they way I wanted . . . so I decided to cut up some fabric and make another quilt instead. This is a crib-size quilt using the Yellow Brick Road pattern.

Quilt top - done!

Well the Quilt till you Wilt night was successful. I completed all of the stars there and just finished piecing it together this morning. And Chantel can't wait till it's done and on her bed!

All packed up and ready to go . . .

I made this bag a while back and just love it for those nights that I have lots of crafting stuff to pack. It has lots of nice deep pockets inside and out - and I filled most of them up!

I packed a couple extra projects in case I actually get done Chantel's quilt top tonight. This one is for a lap sized quilt for me (isn't this such a creative way they arranged the fabrics?) . . .

and this one is for a baby gift (I just love the way berry and pink mix together) . . .

I won!! I won!!

Remember a little while back, I made these booties . . .
Well I submitted them in the Michael Miller baby bootie contest. I didn't know if I had a chance or not because there were so many great entries, but they contacted me this morning to tell me I won one of the runner-up prizes!! First prize was a sewing machine and a $100 gift certificate for fabric, and three runners-up get a Michael Miller Fabrics fat quarter bundle (retail value - $80.00) and a $20 gift certificate to Repro Depot Fabrics. I'm so excited!!

another upcycled item . . .

I also came across a blouse that didn't fit right, but it had such a nice texture and stretch to the fabric that I didn't want to get rid of it. So I turned into this little skirt for my oldest. Now I can enjoy watching her wear it.

Upcycled shirt . . .

Upcycle - the practice of taking something that is disposable and transforming it into something of greater use and value.

I received a bunch of clothes awhile back which included this top. I liked it but it didn't fit right and I knew I wouldn't wear it. So I turned it into a top for my little one instead. I think it looks much cuter on her than it ever would have on me!

Strawberry Shortcake outfit

I had fun during nap time today . . .
The ruffled skirt is from this tutorial and was so quick to whip up - I'll be making more of these! And Chantel has been asking for Strawberry Shortcake for so long now so she is just thrilled with this outfit.
