Happy Cinco de Mayo! I took 4 years of Spanish and that is pretty much the extent of my ability to converse in Español. Oh no, I have to find the code for the little squiggle over the "n" which is pronounced "en-yay" (I remember that much!). Got it! See? "ñ"!
I've been super swamped trying to get everything finished so I'm ready for Quilt Market next week. I'm so excited and I can't wait to try Stumptown coffee which I hear is amazing. I'm also planning on eating seafood because it's closer to the source. I've never been comfortable eating seafood in Arizona, it worries me.
I've had a chance to play with Jennifer Paganelli's Bell Bottom fabric and I love it. It's so great because it coordinates with her Basics line so the possibilities are endless. I made another one of those darn apron skirts. I apologize for being a one trick pony here but I'm trying to make a little fun money for Portland and these sell.
Isn't it cute?
Here's the whole outfit.
Here's another Flirt outfit (oh man, I'm loving this fabric!). For some (unknown to me) reason the Flirt fabric weighs less than the other ones and it's super soft. I'm not familiar with the whole manufacturing ins and outs but there's something different about it.
I added a little covered button so the pants would have some pink in them too. Easy Peasy and cutesie tootsie.
Here's something fun Olivia's working on (I think it's an apron). I like the way the pink ice cream is dripping.
And Junior Man got some new shoes which he is loathe to remove. He'd wear these and his Elmo shirt (and nothing else!) all day everyday if we'd let him and he throws a fit when we try to take them off. I kind of know how he feels since I'm wearing this shirt again. Oh and he managed to give the cat a bath and acquire a large scratch on his tummy at the same time today. Gotta love that instant kharma.
Saltwater sandals are the best sandals in the history of the planet and I'm glad my friend Tiffany carries them in her store (I even have some white ones in my size. But I had to buy them at a grown up store.).
And then this is just cute. She's obviously keeping a close eye on that little basket of chicks (this isn't the scratching, bath-taking cat. That one is her brother).
I'm planning on doing some fun sewing for myself but it might have to wait until I get back from Portland. The pathetic thing is I may have to wear store bought clothes (gasp) to Quilt Market because I'm so busy sewing other things. But I have had some fun sewing samples of the Oliver and S. patterns (blatant link to my etsy store there) for Liesl and I'm getting really good at them. They are really clever patterns and I'm loving her fabric choices (Liberty of London, oh my gosh!). Okay, back to the factory.
