le sigh.

haven't had much time to work on my quilt. actually, i haven't had any time to work on it... i've been really busy babysitting. i haven't been around kids very much.. my brother is 5 years younger than me, so when he was a kid, so was I.  it has been an interesting learning experience for me, but overall it has been enjoyable. :]] the kids are 11 and 5, so i'm trying to come up with fun things for both of them to do.  i hate putting kids in front of the TV.  its fine for background noise, but overall the tv sucks out your creativity.

if you know me, you know my passion is crafting.  especially: sewing, embroidery, and jewelry making.  that's what i've been teaching. :]]

tonight, I think i'm going to get back to working on my quilt.  i really want to finish it for matthew.. he wants to join the airforce, so I want him to have a quilt from home. :]]

work in progress!

As I said last time, i decided to do the impossible task of creating a quilt. so i decided to share my work in progress, maybe to inspire someone else to make a quilt. it is pretty time consuming and challenging, but overall it is totally worth the work.  i can see my quilt coming together nicely, and it just pushes me to keep going. :]

my playlist for quilting:
white zombie: more human than human
rammstein: du hast
lady gaga: everything
ke$ha: your love is my drug & tik tok
led zeppelin: everything
metallica: everything
and OF COURSE
LOVE GUN.

oh, quilt.

my new craft is quilting.  I have so many different patterns for teeshirt quilts, and i had decided i wanted to make one.. how hard could it be, right? my grandma makes quilts pretty much weekly, so i figured it wouldn't be challenging...

oh.. how i was wrong.
