Remember that Stack of Loulouthi?

It was killing me...I really wanted to play with my Loulouthi but Christmas presents (which I can't show to you) had to have my full attention. Then I caved.



...I mean come on, how could I resist and our sad looking couch was calling for some attention!

See! I mean SAD! It's bad enough that we have an ancient This Ends Up couch but I can't do anything about that so the gross old pillows and dated duvet cover had to go!

Found a two-sided coverlet with colors that compliment the Loulouthi...at least I think it does....then I headed to the sewing machine....

NEW PILLOWS!!

Really...it's kinda hard to tell from the photo but the pillows really do go with the colors on both sides of the coverlet!:) But something was missing...

...oh yeah...a new quilt!:)

Yes, so much better...I mean I'd love a new couch but that will have to wait for a new house!;) There's a new area rug too...but I have to leave a few surprises for the kids!

Now I want to play with these. I need a bigger container!
Here's a wee peek of the rug...with a new stocking for boyfriend of little sis. OK, back to sewing and cooking and baking and.....!;)

Quiltdad inspired and my Latest Obsession!

Wanted to make a little runner from some Anna Griffin fabric, something simple but a little different....just couldn't think of anything...until I saw John's (Quiltdad) little mug rugs....
...such a simple idea and really fun to do....

....thanks bunches for the inspiration John!:)

Here at the shop is my latest love....Anna Maria Horner's Loulouthi....I don't know if I am going to be able to resist it....

....but even more tempting is this huge case of Presencia Finca Perle Cotton!!! Over 150 colors in size 8 and 12.....oh the possibilities!!! I bought 5 balls today...I need to get a large jar to store them. They are just tooo, too pretty to hide away!
