100th Post!

This is my 100th post!  I initially started this blog when my husband and I went on our honeymoon so that our family and friends back home could track with us on our trip.  Then I abandoned it for a little bit, then felt like I wanted to keep up with blogging so I randomly published a few posts on making roasted squash seeds, crocheted scarecrows, and some photography.  Once I got my sewing machine and started sewing and quilting I started publishing on a regular basis.  77 of my 100 posts happened in the last 6 months!

As a celebration of my 100th post I'd like to host a giveaway.  I bought this towel from my local Goodwill store and made a little apron out of it.


So you know the drill.  You can have up to 3 entries:

1)  Leave a comment - any comment!
2)  Become a follower or let me know if you already are.
3)  Repost on your blog or facebook and come back and let me know you did.

Sometimes Blogger acts up and doesn't allow comments to be left.  If that happens, just email me.  Email entries will count the same as comments left here.  Sorry for the inconvenience!

The winner will be chosen at random and chosen November 1.

Thrift Store Haul

I hadn't been to a thrift store in a while, so I went the other evening to check out what they had.  Sadly there were no vintage sheets, but I did find some interesting fabrics, a pillow, some Pyrex, and stuffing.


I bought the pillow for the form inside, not for the beautiful pattern  ;)  I got 2.6 meters of brown cotton, 1.8 meters of an aqua and orange vintage flower cotton, 1 meter of a fall patterned cotton, and 1.6 meters of a green and teal flower and vine patterned cotton.

On the way to the till I spotted the Pyrex.  I thought they were so cute, I couldn't pass them up!

Goodwill Fabric

I bought 5.5 meters of this fabric for $4.99 the other day from my local Goodwill store.
It's loud. It's bright. It's crazy.
I couldn't say no to it, but I have no idea what to do with it. Any suggestions?
