work, church, friend's wedding in Denver, incident with a mouse in the house (aaagh!), ridiculous number of snow days in February, discovering and becoming slightly obsessed with the TV series Friday Night Lights, reading, and lots of crafty-ness
I can't claim to have made any resolutions this year other than my life motto inspired by my friend Katie B.--"Do good. Be good." BUT, I will admit to having this niggling thought/desire/drive to be a little more creative this year. So here's what I have been working on:
Bag for my sister
Quilt for Baby B.
Kimono dress for my niece's American Girl doll
The baby quilt was probably one of my most favorite projects--first of all because I was making it for the best of friends, but also because I KNEW I had found the most perfect fabric for it. It just made me smile every time I looked at it. Baby B's parents are both super cool--they're the people at the party that you want to be sitting next to. And Dad is a music guy, so when I found the Michael Miller guitar fabric at my favorite CityCraft, it was like a sign from the sewing universe that this quilt was meant to be! I think it comes off as a cool/funky vibe that's not too cutesy, but still fun.
The doll photo shoot was amusing (perhaps only to me). I couldn't get her to balance anywhere, so we ended up in the kitchen on the floor next to the refrigerator. I felt a little silly, crouched down on the floor, attempting to capture different angles. Unfortunately, my model just has one expression!
Next up...an apron, an embellished T, decoupaged mirror...so many big plans, not enough time!

Love it all, Leah. What was the pattern for that quilt? I would like to try that.
I don't think I have gotten a copy of your 2010 favorite reads yet :) I'm looking for something(s) to read this summer!
I agree, that fabric is darling! I like the scalloped edges. The quilt will certainly be loved....

Very cute crafts. Anna loves the doll dress. Are felicity's shoes on the wrong feet?
You forgot to mention that your other favorite part of making that quilt is that you didn't have to cut out those ridiculous banana shaped scallop pieces...your loving and sweet baby sister did it for you =)
