Ahh, wish it hadn't been so long since my last post!

For new years I had a resolution to post more often on my blog- my plan/hope was to post about once a week- well that has not happened this month. At the beginning of the month we put an offer in on a house and it was accepted. We got very excited about moving and I spent a lot of time packing, doing all the paperwork involved with purchasing a house, and cleaning this house. But the inspection didn't go so well- so it looks like we will not be moving as soon as planned. But, I guess that means I don't have to pack up all my craft things yet!

At the beginning of the month I got my K-State quilt back from the quilt shop. She did a tight stipple on the white part and a meandering stitch around the border and on the power cat. I love the way it turned out and I can't wait to get it to Bret's parents. I finished the binding last weekend and I also love how it turned out. Below are some pictures of the details.




Today I had a sewing fail- maybe. I am running in a Dog and Jog race next weekend and Penny is running with me. I wanted to make her a t-shirt for the race. I tried to make it out of one of my old t-shirts. My husband was so sweet and helped me figure out where to sew/cut. I think we may have over done it because it is a little tight. I may have her run a little with me this week to see if she looks uncomfortable- most likely I will just make her a K-state bandanna to wear-

She doesn't look too happy does she?

  1. Welcome back! I am so glad to see your finished project! Penny looks a little bewildered...kinda like our Jack when we put his t-shirt on!
