We've been growing in the garden lately! It's so fun to live somewhere I can actually grow a garden. I'm so used to the desert southwest (and the southeast, ug!) where everything dries out so fast and dies from the everlasting inferno! I have a few ideas to bring home with me that might make it possible in the desert, but it'll have to wait another year. I'm definitely homesick... I'll enjoy my garden while I can though!

Snow Day 2010

What a fun day! I miss the snow!!






And... the morning after!






Custom Baby Quilt: Rainforest

Here are some pictures of a custom order baby boy quilt. It turned out pretty cute!

Project of the Day

Here's my project of the day. I love the fabric in this quilt! Purple is my favorite color, so I had to make a purple quilt. I'm in limbo over the final design. I tend to make changes when I'm in progress. It's all 100% cotton, so it's nice and soft! Better pictures to come...


Photography!

I love photography! Whenever I see something I think is priceless, I try my best to capture it exactly how I see it! What's that old cliche? "Take time to smell the flowers!" Here are some of my favorite pictures!




If you want to purchase any prints, want to see more, or want to order a quilt, please go to DragonflySensations @ Etsy. Please support my habits! I have several... plus I'd like to start knitting for charity, so for every purchase you make, I'll donate my time and supplies toward making a new item. I'm a stay-at-home mom; raising my children and crafting is my full time career!




In Progress: Lavender Mist

I have a few projects in progress. I hate having unfinished quilts, but with the birth of my baby last year, and the inability to find materials, I've had to put some aside until now. I am hoping to finish these and many others this year!

The first quilt I'd like to mention is my Lavender Mist. I am so in love with this quilt! It was quilt block of the month kit from Spring '09. It's one of those kits that includes pre-cut fabric with instructions on how to complete the blocks. Each block and the finishing set were sold individually. I bought the first four quilt block kits with plans to go back and get the rest as I had time. However, time flew by, my daughter was born, and life happened. It was several months before I went back to purchase the remaining blocks. To my dismay, they were sold out, and they had no intention of ordering more. I called their 800 number and I was able to find instructions for the remaining blocks, but they were also out of several fabrics. Their warehouse didn't even have the fabrics. So, I'm stuck trying to find suitable replacements. I did stock up on what fabric I could find. I hope with Spring coming up, I'll have a better selection. I can't wait to finish it!
