A wee peek at my busy-ness

I am such an unorganized crafter. There a bits and pieces of projects and piles all over the casa. Pictured above is a sneeky peek for a 5 things swap. Not so sneaky really but I din;t want to show the finished product. Did I tell you all that Mr.A-go-go took over the quilt project? I had been planning on making a quilt for the bed for two years now and had collected all the fabric but didn't have enough confidence to cut. One day he asked if he could start on it because he was going stir crazy and needed a project and I said sure thinking how cool because he cuts straight! Next thing I know he starts asking me technical questions I couldn't answer and then he measures the area of the fabric AND the finished product and tells me we have more than we need and I'm thinking just start cutting and sewing patchworky like no pattern...he doesn't work that way. He felt bad for taking it over. It is almost done and super cool! We're making a quilted duvet cover. It can be both a summer light weight quilt AND a heavier quilt if we stuff a comforter inside. He asked me if I was sure I didn't mind him taking it over and I replied "How many other people can say their husbands made the quilt?" I still think he is just the swellest guy ever! time to make some more projects and maybe bake something sweet. It is raining outside!

Happy tuesday folks!

The Week in Review: March 12-18

Finally! A nice not too busy not too crazy kind of week. Though of course I personally had a mini freak out on Friday but I let it all out and shared with the mister what my crazy lil head was thinking and though I still think I'm a bit of a freak I feel better. Thanks scooty! School was school and while I really appreciate the classes and such I just can't quite throw myself into it this semester. It is still early but sheesh! Today is the crazy day where I have to write an essay in class but then I get to watch me some Kurosawa and after that it is all about kid's books! Whoo-hoo! All the lil coco bunny faux fauxs sold, thanks to Susan at West Coast Crafty for the shout out, but you can still get the BIG ones! Please get a big one...they're in need of new digs and hugs and basket hanging out. Tomorrow will be a packing up day and possibley a mail day if I can get it all packaged at a decent hour. Wednesday is no school and a doctor's visit and then Miss Gelato Girl will be coming over for dinner and guilty pleasure t.v. watching...yes, we sadly enjoy America's Next Top Model and this season is turning out to be quite the watch! The best part is when we recognize everything in the background like the Goodwill fashion show they did was at the Goodwill just around the corner and the house they lived in 2 cycles ago was just up the street. Yes, we are a bit geeky. If you are a fan and enjoy snarky commentary, check out FourFour's blog. HYSTERICAL! He updates on Mondays.

Happy day folks! Happy day!

Felt Club Fundraising Auction

Felt Club Fundraising Auction - Lot #3, originally uploaded by Sew Darn Jenny.

Hey folks! Don't forget that tomorrow is the last day to bid on 1 of 3 fantastic crafty packs to help out Los Angeles' own Felt Club! Felt Club recently got slammed with over $600 in fines for our over exuberant posting of flyers. It seems our fans were a little too gung ho and posted where they should not have and/or didn't remove them after the event. So to help out, dozens of crafty Felt Club vendors donated all sorts of goodies to help the cause. You can place your bid here Have fun and good luck!

Wishing you a luck filled day!

Have yourself some green fun! Bake cupcakes, go on a scavenger photo hunt and take picutres of green, drink green tea and wear some green stripey socks! Have fun! Click here to see the picture with links and such!

please excuse this construction...

I am a techno dunce and for some reason could not accomplish this on the site...

photobooth friday: the "found' edition

Okay, not really found but discovered on the windshield of Rodney the car. Left just for me & Mr.A-go-go by our favorite "nephew" and friend Danny-boy who must have spent the day train traveling and subway hopping. Who may have been to downtown and Amoeba before tucking this surprise under the windshield wiper. I only wish he had actually stopped to say howdy but then again he may have and I might have missed him because I was out in the garden trying to take pictures of bunnies for the shop.

Thank you mister for leaving this jewel for us and I just may post the front with your permission...;)

Check out more boothers to your right! Happy Friday!
