Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | So what are we up to girls? Do tell! What kinds of projects are you all working on? I wanna see and hear all about 'em! We've got so many new sewing enthusiasts joining us every week! It's so exciting! I can't wait to be inspired by all of you! Well as for me, I did work today. I worked on a little project for a fellow yt'er. I still have to put 2 minor touches on it and I'll be done. I gotta go to the store. I was going to go today but it rained all day and I was home alone so I stayed in. But I am headed there tomorrow. So in the meantime, I worked on another little project. I promise to share ASAP! I'd tell you guys what it is but I don't want to ruin it for the recipient so mum is the word for now. Tee hee! Anywho, tomorrow I need to work at my scrapbooking desk and then sew some in the evening. I'm waiting on the mailman to bring me some super important fabric too. I wish it would come already!!!! I'm not known for my patience. Lol Hope you guys are having a fab week! Do chat it up with me if you can. I'm in a talking' mood!

| All my time and projects are focused on our SB in the gift exchange. I have about 5 custom items I am making for them and I just got my quilt pieces and design for a rag quilt finished up yesterday. Now I have the job of sewing all my pieces together. The hard part is over though..cutting out all those squares and the batting and pinning it all together, now comes the fun part.

You'll have to share pix of your quilt too! I love quilts! I wish I had more of my grandmothers quilts but I have an Aunt who took it upon herself to go in and take most of them. Now she won't share them with the rest of the family. My grandmother made one with pansies on it that is gorgeous and I covered up with it all the time as a child. I'd love to be able to cover up with it today! But, my hubby's grandmother also quilted. She made some gorgeous double wedding ring quilts that we have. I just adore double wedding ring! I wish I could have one of those old fashioned one's that has the cute little boy and little girl with bonnet silhouettes. You know what I'm talking about? I can't remember what it is called. My grandmother had some on some pillowcases that I always loved. It's a basic pattern, just a silhouette. I think I found them on an embroidery site where you can stitch them on things, but I forgot the name. And I guess I need an embroidery machine first! LOL

What kind of new flooring are you doing? I'd love to have some nice hardwood or something. I just hate this blue carpet in this home we rent. For one, it's just not my style at all. Second, it's hard to spot any accidents if you don't catch them right away. Although, KS hasn't had a potty accident in a long while, you never know and I obviously cannot keep my eyes glued to her all the time. We are about to rent a carpet cleaner I think and steam clean. I'm so picky about stuff like that.

| It's 3.25" hardwood, gunstock in color... can't get up and see the label, Lol. DH works for a flooring distributor and this was a product they were going to start carrying. 18 boxes were to be made into samples... they decided not to sell it and told him to throw it all away! Oh I bet it was hard selling that house! After all your hard work!

| OMG,Those alarms are life-savers! Or, I should say money savers! I would suggest that everyone get one for each bathroom. Back in '08 we had a problem with the toilet tank in the master bath and it flooded the whole master bedroom, closet, bath, hallway, computer room, and living room. All in about 2-hours! Took a full flood crew, a week with dryers and $1500 later to get back to "normal". Learned our lesson, and bought 2 alarms for each of our bathrooms. Worth it for peace of mind! |

| Eh....its a rainy day today and I'm trying to relax before work. So we set off to go to hobby lobby to buy velcro so I can fix Luma's dresses. Well, I spotted a knitting starter kit that showed how to make a doggy scarf, treat bag, and toy. I've always wanted to knit/crochet. So I got the kit. Well kudos to the "kids" this and kit is marketed towards...I am sooo stressed out! This is REALLY hard!! I wanna quit already and I just barely learned how to "cast on" and im completely lost on the basic knit stitch. Ugh.

| I got more. The vest is for Scooter and I made the boys all bandannas to match for the 4th and I also have some different fabric to make the girls a dress for the 4th. I made Scooter a bandanna to match Sadie's Support the Troops dress
