Late night crafty

Quilting's been on my mind lately. In the next 4 weeks or so, I am determined to learn how to quilt and put together a baby quilt using the boys' newborn clothes (my favorite ones that I just couldn't give away!)

One problem though, I don't even own a sewing machine.

Another problem, I'm not sure that I even know how to use one. Last time I used one, was over twenty years ago!

I hear great things about hand quilting. But that's just not me! So next Thursday, when I find out that I'm NOT getting laid-off, I am going to dash to Costco after work and pick me up the Singer 1748, which I've been dying to get my hands on.

So in the meantime, I just had to take my mind off quilting so I came up with this quilt-ish patchwork of pretty christmas papers, framed it on my $3 Walmart frame, and voila - we're calling it a day!

It's my holiday inspiration! I can now stare at it while I work on my holiday scrapbooking projects.

(By the way, I'm not taking full credit for this, I got the framed-artwork idea from my life artist super hero Ali Edwards).
