Weekend results

Good morning and happy Monday everyone! I had a pretty good, albeit too short, weekend. But seriously, aren't they always? Too short I mean. I did 3 things this weekend, but I was only able to photograph 2 of them. The one I didn't photograph got a little R-rated and that is not the kind of blog we wanted to have.
Let me 'splain... On Saturday we were invited to go to a local ATV park and go 4-wheeling. It sounded like a good time so we went. It turns out that all the local kids decided to go too and they put on quite a show. There was drugs, alcohol, and nudity galore. We didn't stick around too much longer after that. I am a little old to get a ticket for whatever they would have ticketed me for.

The 2 G-rated things I did I will post pictures of. I am going a little out of order so please bear with me a minute. Sunday night I went to see Wicked. It is an awesome show. The book is great and so is the musical. They don't let you take pictures inside the theater so this is all I got. I hope it suffices.
Lastly, I completed all my sewing stuff and I have before and after pictures. Let me know what you think. Is it too much??


Here is a close up of the quilt throw I made with my pillow scraps. I found this quilt on http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/ and I decided to make it cause it was super simple. It is also a bit larger than the average throw. The size is somewhere between a baby blanket and a twin blanket. This is a great quilt to make if you are a beginner. It is also super easy to expand on if you want to make a larger quilt. You could even go smaller if you wanted. You might recognize some of the other fabrics I used in the quilt. The turquoise paisley fabric is left overs from the pillowcases I made. The only fabric I actually bought (not from a sewing project) was the green fabric. By the way, the quilt is folded in half in the pictures.


If you are interested in making this quilt then let me know. I will email you the pattern and give you some helpful pieces of advice to make the project easier.
I hope you all enjoyed my pictures. Have a great week.

  1. I really love the way the pillows add so much color to your living room. Your quilt looks really nice. I need to get my butt in gear and make something-You are seriously kicking my booty.
