Off to Market!

Thank you all so much for the nice comments about my hair!  I have fresh polish on my nails and just made my last trip to the post office (at 12:10 am!).  I've been sewing samples like crazy for Quilt Market and it's really been fun but tiring.  I finally got to play with Heather's new line (which is debuting this weekend) and I can't wait to share the pictures.  But it's all top secret and hush-hush for now.

I also made it a little crazier by sewing some things to sell for quick cash and I'm thankful that I'm going with enough money for all the coffee I can drink and all the Burgerville burgers I can eat.  Joey took me shopping for a few more things and I found the nicest jeans at J. Jills.  I honestly started tearing up in the dressing room when I tried these jeans on.  They are so comfortable and flattering and I felt like my life's quest for great jeans was finally achieved.  I was a little (a lot) shocked by the price but the gal at the counter said she's been wearing hers for 4 years and loved them and Joey was willing to pay so what the hay!

I got some sweet things for Mother's Day and I wanted to share this adorable house Olivia made for me.  She got the pattern online but I'll have to ask her where.

I love this flower garden.

I'm off to finish packing and get maybe 3 hours of sleep.  I can't wait to see all the new stuff at Quilt Market and I hope to get lots of pictures!!  Oh and the weather is supposed to be beautiful!  Yip yip!

Wow that is a darling darling house. So cute. I'd love to make one. And I can't wait to hear about how market treats you.

I'm so envious! And jeans that make you tear - I totally get it.

I am getting such inspiration out of your little dresses! My mom has been trying to get me to sew and quilt, and I hemmed and hawed, but now I am buying fabric and envisioning my beautiful Ryla girl in beautiful dresses!

Have fun! And that little house is adorable!!

I tagged you! :) check out my blog! :)
