Summertime Fun!

Don't ask me where the last four weeks have gone! Crazy how time flies! I am really enjoying not doing a whole lot because I know I am going to be so busy in a couple of weeks! :)

Here are some crafts I have been working on:

This is actually an Upper Case Lettering sticker that my friend, Candyce, gave me for Christmas last year and I found it the other day and decided to get crafty! My original idea was to find a cute wooden board, paint it, then put this on, but when I couldn't find one my clever mother told me to get a piece of tagboard and fabric and modge podge the fabric on the tagboard. Then I put the sticker on there and found a cute frame, which I spray painted to match it. It is now hanging in my room and I love it! Thanks Candyce! :)





Up next is the quilt I started in April. I got all the blocks done in April and I just pulled them all out again this week and I have become quite the sewing maniac (Sorry mom and dad that the house is a sewing mess!). I still have one more border and the backing to sew together before it is quilted, but it is coming along nicely! I hope to have it ready to quilt by the time I go back to work!:)









This is the material I am using for the back of of the quilt. Nice and bright like the front! :)


And what do you think I am going to do next? You've got it....ANOTHER quilt! :) I already bought the kit at Material Girls while I was there last week and am soooo excited to start it! It is tooo stinking cute! I have become quite a quilting monster!



Oh and I have these cute little charm packs that my mom got me from Florida in March....what to make out of them??? HMMM...
