Sew...it's 2 am

And, I so can't sleep. Why not update my horrible outdated and overdue blog 😊. 

I tend to spend my time on Instagram these days which ends up leaving my blog a little neglected. I'll have to keep this blog when u can't sleep thing in mind! Today I am showing you some quilted burp rags I made. I started with a jelly roll and have to say the strips were so crooked they couldn't be straightened. I sewed them together anyway and realized the crooked mess could not leave my house! So I cut the baby quilt top down and it is way less noticeable this way! These were even gifted!

This is a top to a blanket that I need to have done in a week. Jelly roll strips in much better shape this time! It took 1.5 years to get my first blanket completed...I'm skeptical of completion after 3 short weeks. I'll post a peak when I'm done!! Thanks for stopping by today!

Oh Baby!

It' another hot and humid day here in Kansas! Good news is that its a perfect opportunity to finish and package a baby shower gift. For as long as I have been stamping, baby cards have not been something I have done. No one was having babies so no need for them! Its a good thing I picked up one stamp set from a garage sale to have on hand!

I decided to do a little ink blending, one of my favorite things to do. Blended on the card base then placed the stencil over the top, used the same colors and blended some more.

I used my only baby set from PTI for the onsite and sentiment.

I recently finished my first quilt. It was a smaller quilt to make it manageable...perfect for a baby boy! I used one of the jelly roll strips and tied a bow around it.

Next comes the packaging. I love using Laurie Willison's card hanger die. It allows the card to become part of the packaging while leaving the inside sentiments private. So clever!

 Below is the finished bag. I do have to say, I'm still very challenged by the tissue paper thing, lol!

Thank you for stopping by my blog! 

Have a super DAY!
