Gooey birthday cookie for hubby.
The boy and his girl counting their egg hunt loot! Thanks grandparents!!
Quickie tripod made by dad. Post-it note shade + pine bark mulch prop=family photo. I need a copy...
...but I got this!:)
The girl spent her birthday at Faerie Glen on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. So jealous!
Bitty Block Bee 3.5" blocks for Marilyn...her theme was Bees!
Hoop Up! swap piece for Leila...her town...little did I know she can see this from her window!
Embroidery just for fun photographed at work in a drawer full of cottons...I want that drawer!!!
More scrap busting and a new phone. Had the old one for 8 years, hope it doesn't take that long to learn how to use this one!
Secret project finished!;)
Some lovelies received....top piece by Jo, bottom by Sooz....I heart you both ladies!:)
Next project staring at me....
...and this one. Wonder which one will be first?
Heard about it from Dana at Old Red Barn Co.....amylouwho is having a
But mostly it's nice to have another fun place to post photos of my minis...which are mostly made from scraps...scraps from full size quilts but mostly scraps I get from work (see Webfabrics.net button over there on the right)!:)
Another great thing about minis is the chance to try out different quilting methods...
...but as you can see I am still afraid of my free motion darning foot!
Mostly straight or wavy lines for me! I really need to get over it! In the meantime hop on over to amylou's and the new flickr group and have a look at all the creativity out there....I'm inspired!:)
I can't wait to show you this...but I'm gonna have to! Ugh!;)
Grab a handful of scraps (in someone's favorite colors), some interfacing and an awesome Marble Composition Notebook with GRID PAPER!!!
A journal cover to spark your imagination...or at least jot down notes!
This was a birthday present...I really wanted to keep it! The Waterman pen was a present from hubby many moons ago...that I DID keep!:)
....PINKBRAIN!! I love that moniker!!:) 
I love adults dressing up in costume too...and I am getting ready to bake some cookies because you ALL have made me very, very hungry! Pinkbrain is going to get all the above goodies and I thank everyone very much for all your lovely comments...and drool inducing cookie ideas!:)
Now I am going to go play with some more scraps....think I have enough?:)
(Made a bookmark out of a trimming)
For Dad-in-law, who also doesn't need anything, I made this little catch-all bag out of some Mr. Fix-it. I put a loop on it so he could hang it from a button on the dash of his truck and put whatever he wants in it. Actually...it is big enough to hold a water bottle.
This is a little six inch mini I made for a friend.
.....and this is a secret project I finally started and my first paper piecing...I'm HOOKED!!;)
I had some Moda Sunkissed scraps from work and sewed them together...decided they needed a little something so I took inspiration from one of the words on the fabric and embroidered a little sprout!
I want to put the trees with the houses from last month...I love felt and whipped these up. I can't wait to get all of them...I have an idea!:)
How about these guys...Sooz had this idea to make bitties with veggie celebrities like Beety Boop or Lima Beanelli....I picked Dr. Pepper...I just realized their arms are above their collar!! Oops!:) 
When bitty's were finished I dug out the Pure canvas I bought several months ago...I decided I needed a new bag. Like my hot pink Swiss Army knife?:) 
This was my favorite project of the week! My lovely coworker Kerry brought me some sweets from her trip to Road to California....a couple of candy coated FQs!! I added them to some cupcake fabrics and colorful scraps and now have a fantastic tablerunner that I will use for birthday parties...and to top it off the mailman made a timely delivery of that teapot fabric...isn't it perfect?:)
These were made with the scraps from Emanuela's quilt....still working on the quilt's binding. I promise I'll be done soon Bella!:)
