Say hello and love me some felt!

 

I want to introduce you to a new sponsor here on the blog, FELT ON THE FLY.  Say hello!

I'm in Color love with this shop, aren't you? You can't have enough felt, especially with kid's crafts and projects. And I'm loving Felt on the Fly's assortments of colors!

Do you have a favorite felt project? Share below!

Be sure to bookmark their shop, and keep it handy especially for any end of summer projects.

Thanks Felt on the Fly for joining the family here!

And if you are interested in Sponsoring, please feel free to send me an inquiry here! 

SUMMER SALE TIME

 

Hi everyone! It's about time for a summer sale...what do you think? I'm loving summer (even being 8 months pregnant with record heat) and July is always a favorite month for me (anyone else with a July birthday?)

So, I'm saying THANK YOU for all your support and love and giving back with a coupon for 25% off in the shop. That includes even the lovely handmade quilts I have ready for a lovely new home!

I made a free print for you as well. I'm always marveling at how children see the world.  It's always amazing to me, and I consider myself so blessed to create art that forces me to see more of what they see. I created this cloud design with my latest fabric collection, and I've made you a little phrase to help us all remember  what it's like to see like a child. I've got a FREE illustrated print for you that will come to your email with your order confirmation. Yahoo!

This is size 5x7, but it's got lots of white space on the print out, so you are able to frame it however it suits you best! So enjoy:)

Thank you all for your kind words, thoughtful emails and support...especially as we prepare for baby #4. It means so much!

Happy 4th of July to my friends in the states, and happy summer all around!

Announcements are always fun

Hello! There are a few things going on today, and I had to make sure you knew what's going on!

 

So, Let's Pretend Fabric is out, and it's so fun to see you sewing! A lot of sites have been interested in doing interviews on the line, and The Fat Quarter Shop has posted an interview on their Jolly Jabber blog. I'm talking about my process in designing fabric, and all that fun stuff. I don't really talk about that much, and so I love interviews like this where I can talk about it a bit more directly.

Also, have you heard about QuiltBLISS? It's a new Modern Quilt retreat here in Utah up in the gorgeous mountains coming up this January! I'm a guest speaker  and I'm going to be talking about the bliss (and blood sweat and tears) of designing a collection and all the aspects of color, design, and all the ins and outs of putting together a fabric line. I'm sure we'll do some embroidery in there too:) It will be so inspiring! Registration begins tomorrows, so don't miss it. I absolutely love to meet with people in person, and I'd love to spend the weekend with all of you!

And if you are in for a giveaway, there is a giveaway going on right now here., which includes this favorite paper puppet theater toy. Perfect for rainy summer days! It's just a happy day all around!

And on a personal note, my pregnancy is getting less and less at risk, which is such a miracle!! I've been getting regular ultrasounds, and today I got to see him again. Chubby cheeks and everything. What a handsome little guy. I'm so in love!! I still have NO idea when I'll have this baby (but I've never really been able to be set on a due date) so it's time to start getting ready just in case.  It's been 7 years since we've had a boy, so it feels like we are almost starting over again. Which really, makes it so fun!

Have fun clicking around today, and thanks for yesterday's suggestions on photosharing. Maybe having a Pinterest Board just for fabric projects would be the best, so you can share them in a space that we are all on all the time. I love FLICKR, it's just I'm not really on there like I used to be.

Happy Tuesday! xoxo

Looking ahead...

 

I'm so ready for a weekend. You? I've been spinning up lots of little things  I'm super excited to show you (new fabric anyone?) and I'm kinda pooped out. I get tired SO much faster. This is my 4th pregnancy, and you kinda forget (or at least I kinda forget) that I'm not invincible. I never was Wonder Woman, but if I ever WASN'T her, it's now. Ya know? Things take 10 times longer it seems with having to be down and resting more. But on the positive side, taking breaks and resting is sooooooo important, and something that I am really blessed to make the excuse to have more.  Did I mention I have pre-term labor tendencies? It's a blessing that my work mostly takes sitting. Dishes and laundry...that's another issue! (But it never was my fav to begin with so, who am I kidding).

So. Next week. I thought we could all use some pick-me-ups. Spring excitement, ya?

I'm going to be hosting a whole bunch of giveaways next week (from my lovely Fabric Store sponsors, some favorite new boutiques of mine, and some from me too!) and I'm thinking you'll all want to be invited. The first giveaway will be posted Monday, and we'll just keep adding more all week! Sound fun? We are going to shake things up here, and add some excitement. I could for sure use it. Can't wait!!

And lastly, I've got to share with you this photo. It's our FIRST lemon we grew. I live in Utah, and it's very dry here. But we bought a Meyer Lemon tree in California over a year ago, strapped it in a seatbelt, and drove it to our lovely little desert climate. It took a year, but this little baby tree produced it's FIRST lemon this month, and it was such a family affair. In fact, we all picked it off at the same time. And now, there are about a dozen more lemons starting, and it's quite exciting. Meyer lemons don't ship well, so being able to grow one in a pot that fills our living room with lovely smelling blossoms, is such a treasure.

Anyways...had to share.

So see you Monday bright and early!

Have a lovely weekend!
