I have been very busy this week as I have been making topsy-turvy dolls for my girls. I have two complete except for the hair and I have a square softee, and a Wee from Wee-wonderful almost complete. I hate to post with out a picture so here is a flower from the boquet that I recieved last week.

WOW

I was calling the Denise Schmidt Quilts office to cehck on carrying their fabric in my shop and I actually got to speak with Denise. I could not believe it, she was very nice and I might be ordering some of their fabric for sale in my shop. I also found out that if you would like to try some of their fabrics they have a Scrap bag that you can order to get a taste of their fabrics. I will post pics soon. have a good weekend.

can't think of a title

I found some great templates here. they are for paper crafting and much more. I really think that some of the shapes would make great appliques for a quilt or bag. I found them via Karla's Korner, she made some very cute envelopes out of magazines with the templates above.

So much fun I made it twice

Fancy I really love this bag. every time I look at it, it makes me smile. I first made this bag a couple of years ago and I thought after I sold it, that I should have kept it for my self. I did not think I had enought fabric but last week while going throught my fabric stash I found enought to make me one of these for my self. I named the firstbag the Anastasia Bag after my oldest daughter, so I guess this it the Anastasia II. It is the size of a Diaper Bag and it is great for me to go the park with the girls because I can take a small picnic and still have room for a change of clothes for each. I love the print and after I bought the fabric I started to see a lot of ready made bags made out of the same fabric and so many people wanted it I could have sold a lot of them had I been smart enough to buy the whole bolt of fabric.
