quilts!

if i ever turn into an old lady.. i wanna make quilts that ROCK like theirs!

i kinda wonder if i'm turning into one.

i looked at these quilts last night for a LONG time..

i mean, STUDIED them. such craftsmanship. such artistic expression.

but grandmas made them.. sO, i was sort of embarrassed to post about them.. but then i thought just now, WHO CARES???

one day i'm gonna be old. & i'm gonna want young people to blog about the "cool" stuff that they find on my blog.

and i'm gonna be proud. and post links to the cool blogs that show MY cool stuff..

as i sip tea on my porch.. holdin' hands with the man i've been married to for fifty years.

... ok. maybe i'm goin' too far.

whatever.

i think i do that a lot.

by the way, nice quilts, Grandma. =)

patchy goodies..

i CANNOT believe it's March already.. O_o

i feel like i've done you guys wrong by not updating my blog with some fun lil' tidbit of "sumthin"..

sO.. here it is!

isn't this patchy stuff wonderful??? =)

if only i had the time AND the energy to do lil' fun projects like this all the time.. i'm workin' on a few things right now, and i gotta say, they're kickin' my patootie.

a quilt..

and SHE says it's therapeutic.

i. need. therapeutic. something.

it's been one of those days..

podge sumthin, girl!!

okay.. sO, i KNOW that i've been planning to modpodge sumthin' for about a bazillion years now, but i think i finally have it figured out! ... and i can't wait.

i even daydreamed of the project yesterday and this morning..

this is truly an inspiring image.. i don't know if this was actually decoupaged, but it "feels" like it to me. =)

quilting??

i'm definitely a jack-of-all-trades crafty.. master of NONE!! >_<

i'd LOVE to change that... but i can't bring myself to that place.. i need DIVINE intervention!!

=)

but this particular lady is definitely a quilting guru.. & if she's not, then she's definitely getting there! and what makes the story even better is that she's NOT afraid of showcasing her first runs that don't necessarily turn out so good.. i need guts like that. or whatever it's called.

=)

funky furniture!!

if i had my way, i'd have furniture ALL over my house JUST LIKE THIS! i'm craZy... i'm pretty sure that the cat in the hat is my cousin.. anyway.. don't u love it!? you can see more HERE! enjoy! =)

i NEED modpodge!!

or something like it.. i feel sO deprived! LOL

apparently this stuff is GOLD.. and i'm missin' out! i mean.. look how amaZing this frame turned out.. you can see more here..

i bought the "spray" kind of acrylic stuff..

i get the heebie-jeebies just thinkin' of sprayin' that stuff and breathing in all of the noxious fumes..

sO.. why didn't anyone tell me sooner that i could just use modpodge and a sponge brush.. to decoupage my ENTIRE world!? is it that you just don't know... or are you like me, holding out so people don't steal your ideas?? :P

either way, i want a BIG container for Christmas.. the stuff that GOLD is made of.. ;-)
