I'm having fun. I can't wait to make more..I hope you have an awesome day! I'll see ya tomorrow with a Friday Funny Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!!! I did it! I made a card last night :) ..It's a simple one but I'm kinda distracted..I want to make another quilt so I had to pick a pattern and that led to what do I need to buy at the fabric store which led to thinking of colors LOL!AND watch BL, so busy night hehe...but one thing I did yesterday was sew on my card BUT after quilting all weekend I went to sew on my card and the Sew Mini is CRAZY! it's loud and clunky and it took off like it was a race horse trying to get in the lead! sheesh! I kept all my fingers because hello did I mention how it's a race horse? and my fingers took off with the paper..eeesh! I'm OK with piercings but not my fingers, there's no fun in that ;) ...but wow what a difference in machines :) ...The DP is from Basic Grey (Oliver) and the image is from La La Land (Luka) ..the brads and ric rac are all from my "stash" ...I did use liquid applique on the skull..The sketch is from Sunday Sketch & Stamp..It's been awhile since I did my DT work for them that I'm surprised they haven't kicked me off the team..I suck.. I hope you have a fantastic day :) Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!!!! Well I did it!!! I made my first quilt all on my own! I'm so proud of myself and yep I'm lucky I made that appt because that totally made me finish it, in fact I finished it a half hour before my appt! Wheww! What do you think? I love it and it makes me smile..Madagascar Penguins and Ice Cream what wouldn't make you smile about it :) ...I did make quite a bit of mistakes but hey I'm learning :) I will show you the final product when I get it back from the quilter, she's probably going to quilt the penguins on it :)..I hope to make a card tonight so come back tomorrow :)...Thank you everyone for sticking with me :) ..I will tell ya though I'm pretty addicted now, so I'm going to go pick more fabric out so that I can make another one :) have a awesome Tuesday, BL is on tonight Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy P.S thank you Penny for those encouraging words :) ...
Hi Everyone!!!! ..I've been obsessed with quilting right now and I made an appt to get my Top quilted but it's not finished so I made an appt to make sure I get it done and now I'm panicking it needs to be done by Tuesday and this is a massive quilt! LOL!!! I can't wait to show you..My mom is proud of me since this is my first quilt that I am doing on my own (nobody looking over my shoulder) It's nerve racking :) so I'm sorry I get consumed by crafting LOL! and we were invited to a get together tomorrow so I get to bake yay! and Sunday is our 5K run!!!! whoo hoo!!! so lots of things happening that we are looking forward to..OK to be honest I'm looking forward to getting junk food AFTER the run!!!!! It's been two weeks since we started WW and I have lost 10 pounds (so when I walk I only have two chins that gobble) ;) ...that's my reward for being so good and for actually signing us up and doing it :) ..OK OK it's an excuse to have junk food (yes, I'm weak..yes, San Fran has some awesome desserts and we don't get to go there often) I know I know!!! excuses!!! (I'm rambling hehehe) ANYWAYS...Isn't Rocks darling!? Love him :) ...have a great weekend! Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy

I think my friend Laura pushed me but I have no proof..hehehe just seeing if she reads my blog..LOL!!! I tripped on the sidewalk and if I wasn't wearing a super tight sport bra..I'm positive my cantaloupe boobs would have cushioned my fall and all I would have had to do was the "superman" move but because I can't run unless I make two boobs into one boob (ya it's a sight, it's like a big goiter on my chest but have you seen any sport bra that doesn't do that? sheesh! :) that didn't happenso now I have scraped knees and sprained wrists..but hey we finished the run :) .....Have a great Friday!!!
