Hi everybody! I hope you're all enjoying the warm(er) weather! It's been so cold where I live and the sun finally decided to come out today! I missed it so much... Today I will be able to go out and spraypaint some new deco boxes I bought. I even got some teal, green and black spraypaint. I'm so excited!

Look at the new fabrics I bought! They are to make my new bunnies with. So to tease you all, here's what the patterns all look like. The solid white and black fabrics are SUPER soft and have little 'dots' of poofy fabric all over them. You'll seriously want to rub your hands and faces all over them.


And yesterday, my mother and I were spending the day together working on her store. She owns a little block in a thrift store for goodies she finds at garage sales, ebay, craigslist, and even storage auctions. So I was helping her price things and carry them into her store. And when we were all done, LOOK WHAT SHE GOT FOR ME!!! He was hiding in someone's block for sale and he was so lonely! I had to give him a home! AND HE'S SO HUUUUGEEE!!!!


He's really dirty, but I plan on spot cleaning him and adding some perfume to him later today. I really love Care Bears. Not as much as 1980's My Little Ponies, but I do love them very much. And Grumpy Bear was always a favorite of mine, after Cheer Bear.

Also, I was thinking....
I wanted to hold a contest, but as I was falling asleep the other night, I thought of a better idea.
If everyone were to take a 12" x 12" piece of fabric of their choosing, and drew on it with sharpies or acrylic paints and were to send them to me, I want to make a quilt with them. And whoever participates in it, would get a plush broach or a necklace in return as a thank you. What do you guys think? Please let me know! I really want to make a quilt, and I want it to mean something really special, and what's better than having a quilt made by ALL of my friends around the world? I would upload a template for you guys to use so you know what size is okay to use, and how much room around the edges to give me so I can sew it all together. I really want to do this.

And that's about it for this week! Thank you so much for all the sweet comments, watches and favorites! I really appreciate them all.
