Well. I knew that my blogging would be sporadic, but I've gone 5 weeks!

But in these 5 weeks, we have made a FABULOUS quilt (photos to come very soon) & received 2 more quilt orders. So, there are no complaints here...

On another note, my sweet hubby is going to be working out of town the next three months. I'm sad to not have him at home every night, but so excited to get caught up on all of the projects that I have neglected. I probably have way too many plans for the time that he'll be gone, but it will give me something to do instead of wallowing in loneliness. Thankfully Mr. French, my precious cat, will surely keep me company.

Back to this fabulous quilt... So, did I mention that we are now offering designer fabric to back our T-shirt quilts?!?! The fabulous quilt is our first with the designer fabric on the back, and the difference is stunning. Not only is this girl receiving a quilt full of memories ( for graduation), but the other side is a fabric that would make anyone fall in love with sewing.
Check out these palettes by Amy Butler:


I'm seriously thinking about making myself a duvet with Amy Butler fabric... My hubby will love to hear that. Have I shared that Kevin & I are on a journey toward debt freedom?? So the duvet will have to wait...
Am I the only one who has 100 projects started in my mind, yet left untouched in my craft room?? That trip I took in March with my girlfriends - you know the one with the amazing fabric? I've made 1 pillow, and the rest of the fabric is in a pretty pile on the floor. I even bought a pattern for valences to hang in the living room. Hmm... It would be so nice if I could have 3 months to myself... oh wait...
I really will miss him.

Mondays, Husbands, & Cats

Monday is the perfect day to start a blog. Its the type of day that I resolve to go to the gym, to list multiple Etsy items, to eat healthy... It's January 1 all over again... So, here goes... I'm starting a blog for my t-shirt quilt & vinyl art business. Blogs make me nervous - insecure about my ramblings, & what the "cool" people think... Its like high school all over again!


I've been down & out with a cold, and the Lord blessed me with 7 new Etsy vinyl orders 2 weeks ago. But in the excitement over successful marketing, I panicked because I could barely get out of bed. Would you believe that my sweet, sweet husband jumped in & became my Vinyl Art partner??? I hadn't even thought to ask him for help, but once he offered, I realized how indispensible he is now. He is the master of preparing the completed vinyl for application & shipping. I am SO thankful! The best part is that I feel like he's involved in my creative ventures, and it is so fun to see him excited about something I've started. What great affirmation!


What's more is that Mr. French, our beloved tuxedo cat, has also taken part in our vinyl creations. I love this picture of him as he sits next to such apt scripture! How cute is this?!?!?
