The Return of The Quilt
I just want to welcome home Quilty Jones after her long week in Frankfort getting poked and pulled every which way. She's not totally finished but she's quilted. The last step is for me to put the binding on and stitch it all up. I only have like four days to do it. Yikes! My goal is to have it completed on Wednesday.

Blog Heaven: An Etsy Trade-a-holics Feature
Woo! A task was presented to the members of the Etsy Tradeaholics Street Team to do a blog feature on another member of the team. She doesn't know that I'm doing her story and I don't know who is doing mine. Sweet. I love surprises.
I was assigned one of the neatest artists I've ever seen. Her etsy shop is http://tiffanyteske.etsy.com and her artwork is unbelievable. What Tiffany does is takes photographs on slide film, projects them onto Polaroid pack… Continue

I love your avatar - not only because it is hilariously intriguing but because I love long, wide scarfs. They are a must for me during the winter!
Great photo to get people in the door and looking at your stuff - and I also love the photos of your jewerly. They show off really well - and your creations are really very unique!
Just saying hello!
