Table Quilt


I made a quilt yesterday morning. I unpacked my fabrics in order to get rid of more boxes and was inspired. The table was a vintage find my aunt got in Cincinnati. There are two matching chairs and I'm looking into getting some yellow folding chairs from Ikea to facilitate more seating. I've been keeping my reusable bags in that bowl/planter (also vintage, from my Mom.)

Quilt only took me about 3.5 hours, and was a great stash buster. I'll probably make a few more this winter.

Even an old lady at the Doctor's office is doin' it!

Now with the weather heating up, more and more people are bringing out the fashion and giving into trends. It seems I too have succumbed to the spring/summer fads. Let me explain: A month ago I started to see neon emerging around every corner. H&M had a bunch of neon accessories in their Divided line. Forever 21 was the same story. JCrew's windows had (and have) neon caution tape artfully draped near hot pink belts and accessories attached to neutrally dressed dress forms. Who knew neon? And then there were the manis and pedis!

And so I searched. Everything neon was either too expensive, or too cheap. Most were all the wrong color and not nearly neon enough. Recently (within the past year) I had weeded through my nailpolish and thrown away anything old and anything not Essie. To my (not) surprise the perfect neon shades this season: Essie! Punchy Pink is where it's at, although you can find 3 other colors in the neon line: http://www.essieshop.com/index.php?cPath=68. And now I can't stop thinking about neon.

Any good sources for neon barrettes or bobby pins?


(essie is great. They have so many shades, it paints on smooth, and the bottles are the perfect size, shape and look. Also, you should try their topcoat which a lady at Ricky's stated to be the hit of the year! http://www.essieshop.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=427 )

I'm going to print some envelopes, little pictures to frame, send as postcards, or write notes on.

spring jacket winner

Here it is! the winner: Alfani Cinched-Waist Anorak.

It sure is cute though, and it is perfect rain/jacket combo. I don't feel like I'm wearing a rain coat when it isn't raining. Many of the jackets I looked at were definitely crunchy, slick raincoats. This one is the perfect texture.


It is now on sale and I could have saved money! boo hiss! c'est la vie!
