Fall Market Photo's...

 I have pictures to show you of

Daisy Cottage

at Fall Market in Houston.

The reason I have pictures is

because my friend

Miss Pam Kitty Morning

took them for me!

Thanks Pam...you are a sweetie:)

Of course I couldn't display Daisy Cottage without a chandelier! ....

here is a pic with the chandelier on...

And chandelier off.

The table is vintage and it goes next

to my bed.

I've been going to paint it my favorite

shade of pale pink

forever and I thought it would look great

with Daisy Cottage... so I thought now was the perfect reason to finally paint it.

But because I was too busy sewing...

Mr. Honey came to the rescue and

painted it for me:)

Having all of my Daisy Cottage quilts and projects all together on display is a very rewarding feeling and

I couldn't have done it without the help of sew many friends...and of course thanks to Cindy and Jina!

I love being a part of Riley Blake.

They are the best! 

I really can't believe that the

sewing frenzy is over.

If you can believe it...

All seven of the quilts were made from start to finish in 3 1/2 weeks. 

Then, I started on the aprons, Mr. and Mrs. and all of the pillowcases,

which were made in 10 days!

Whew!

I'm ready for a vacation :)

And just what kind of vacation do you

think I'm going on?

Can you guess?

Yep.

A quilt retreat!

A quilting retreat with 60 other

quilting friends...yay!

I leave tomorrow morning and will be

gone for the week.

I'll take lots of pics to share with you when I get back.

I hope you all have

a quilty kind of week too!

I'm a Pinhead!!!...

Yep.

I said it.

Well apparently I have another

addiction besides dresdens:)

I am totally and completely addicted to Pinterest.

Yes...I'm a pinhead!

I just can't stop pinning all that

good stuff out there on the internet.

But it's ok because I don't want to stop

and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

I thought I'd share with you just a few things I have pinned on my pinboards...I'm up to like 150 boards I think!

Pinboards are simply different categories that I have created on pinterest so that I can save pictures along with it's original source.

I love that when I "pin" a picture that inspires me to one of my pinboards...

I can click on the source link and it will take me there!

Which is really handy for saving

tutorials like this one.

These are by my friend Ayumi at Pink Penguin.

Aren't they cute?

I pinned this picture onto my pin board

that I titled

"Sew Fun..."

All I have to do now is click on the

picture on my board...

click on the source link and it will

take me to Ayumi's cute

"organizer basket tutorial"

Easy peasy:)

How about this fun pencil pouch tutorial?

It's by Vanessa from LBG Studio.

It looks like a quick and easy gift for

the upcoming holidays...so...

I pinned it onto my

"It's in the Bag..."

 pinboard for easy reference when I

want to make it.

The tutorial for this quilt is by my BFF Nanette from Freda's Hive.

It's her Scraptacular Picnic quilt.

I love it and I want to make it and use up some of my scraps...because I have just a few!

I saved Nanette's tutorial for future reference by pinning it onto my

"A Quilty Kind of Day.."

pinboard.

And just look at this

little cutie patootie!...

This is my friend Amy's from Nana Conpany tutorial for her needlebook.

this is the front...

And this is the middle...adorable right?

I pinned this one to my piboard called

"Pins and Needles..."

These are just a few of the pictures that I have pinned on my pin boards.

Pinterest is a great place for me to save and organize all of the pictures, recipes, ideas and quilty tutorials that inspire me on the internet.

They really should have named it Pinspiration...(I'm just sayin:)

If you havn't joined yet...

I highly recommend it!

A big part of the fun is following other pinners who have similar interests as you,

and you can repin what they have already pinned onto your own pinboards.

So here is your invitation...

click on the link below and

"Follow me on Pinterest"...

you can be a pinhead like me!
