Though I have not been terribly crafty since December, I have been fairly active with my camera... I have developed a bit of an obsession with my fisheye and animal noses…

I have also just been taking more photos overall.  Except for this weekend, I had a garage sale with some friends.  I managed to get rid of some stuff, but there is still a lot to get rid of.  Anyone want to buy my stuff?  No my fabric stash is not for sale. 

My summer so far... there are worse things than unemployment...

I just realized I haven't blogged since early December... I am not sure I have been all that crafty since then (until recently). 

Over the last few months I have become somewhat obsessed with animal noses as seen through my fisheye lens.

As far as craft projects are concerned.  I have a sewing project that I am working on… but more exciting is the table.

I decided I must have enough bottle caps, so I have been nailing them in place.  I have them all laid out.  It is not quite complete yet, but I really like the way it is looking.

I took the week off from work with the intent of sewing all week, of course after the new XBOX360 release with netflix, I got sucked into Jericho... second season was a major dissapointment, the fact that I watched both seasons in a room where my sewing machine was not very productive, but the mind escape was good.

Then I got to sewing.  I finished binding (which I have yet to learn to love) made a few dish clothes... and loaded them (well the quilts and a few of the dish clothes) up on my etsy shop.

I am even offering free shipping on quilts for the holidays!! 

Show us something you've made recently.

Today I worked on a few pieces.  I need to do the binding, but I do not love binding so I am sort of putting it off by getting a bunch of them ready for binding, then I can do them all at once.  Eventually I will get some up on Etsy... I need to have a stack done before I do that though... getting closer.

Have I mentioned lately that I cut a LOT of triangles?  No wonder it took so long to get that first quilt done, I probably spent a month cutting triangles alone.

Ah well.  I am working on another small sized triangle quilt and am probably half done with the piecing.

I also picked up some super cute fabrics while out at Country Village the other day.

A few years back I started a triangle quilt.  It was the second quilt I started when I got back into quilting as an adult.

I cut so many triangles it was unreal.  I was not entirely sure how many triangles it would take, or how many fabrics I would want in it.  So I cut and cut and cut.  Some triangles were used in other quilts and for potholders, but I still have tons.

So I sewed up a little lap quilt... I still have a bunch more, guess I am going to be making a lot of triangle quilts.

I finally finished with the binding and backing that i meant to do a few weeks back but ended up sleeping instead.  I have also been working on a commisioned baby quilt for a friends sister-in-law's new little girl.

She requested modern colors and style, I like combining classic fabrics and modern design, I am really happy with the way it turned out.

Now I should be sewing and updating my etsy shop and put some quilts up there.

If anyone is interested in a baby or lap quilt (make GREAT Holiday gifts) please let me know.

I am thinking I might use some vacation time and make a stock of them...

If you don't have one, then vote for my favorite shelter...

It is EASY!  http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/72283/?refer=28329.06.1222221987.7696
