Fat Tuesday, Fat Quarter Special

Hi all!
I've just listed week one's fat quarter bundle in the shop. 18 fat quarters for $18.00 from the awesome Jennifer Paganelli.

Gorgeous isn't it??
In limited supply for one week only! I'll be listing a new bundle every Tuesday from now until Easter.
Destashing my skinny bolts of fabric that only have a couple yards on them... making room for new collections :) Hurry and snatch one up, at $1.00 a fat quarter, I don't think they will be around long!

Last Day for Christmas Sale and Spring mud

Hi!
Just wanted to let you know this is the last day my Christmas shop will be open until fall. I've taken another $5.00 off the last of the bundles and marked down everything else one last time :)
I'm ready for March and spring, how about you??

~ tip of the day~
If your mud isn't muddy enough, just add water.

Well! First let me say Merry Christmas... Happy New Year... Happy Valentines Day!
Such a naughty, bad blogger I've been! I do write blog posts, I should say I think of blog posts, lots of them, but don't find the time to type them down. Worst part is once it's been so long trying to jump back in but here goes....
shop news:
** Just marked items in my Christmas shop way down for a final sale and listed some one of a kind sets. I'll close up the Christmas shop on March 1st and then will reopen late summer/ early fall for next season. Already have loads of new stuff ordered and will show some sneak peeks once it starts rolling in during May :)
** I have a bunch of ooak sets for my regular shop too and will get those listed next week... I'll let you know the exact day/time, they always get snatched up right away because they are seriously priced to sell!
** Have you heard Joel Dewberry is coming out with Aviary 2?? The first collection was wildly popular and this one is sure to be too. The birds will be back in 6 gorgeous colors. I have the whole collection ordered and can't wait for it to come in. Here's a few...

Swoon, right? 

Okay since this is getting longish... will be back tomorrow with family news (there's a new addition) and sewing news :)

p.s. Don't be ridiculous, the new addition is not human!

Finally....

Yes, there is finally a winner!!!
Wow! What a sale! I've been swamped and have finally caught up, whew!!! Thank you, thank you! I was literally at my cutting table around the clock for days and days..... and days :)
I loved reading all of your Christmas traditions, so heartwarming. We have many Christmas traditions but I think my favorite is Christmas Eve. We stay at home all day making homemade ravioli. Yes, all 5 kids help and there ends up being ice skating on the hard wood floor due to all of the flour everywhere. It's a big huge mess but so very yummy and fun being together all day. After the clean up and delicious dinner, we go off to Midnight Mass which is just magical and peaceful and so special. *sigh*
Okay... I'm dreaming of Christmas and you guys are just wondering who the winner of the gorgeous velveteen is......so.... here you go, the winner is number 2, Joontoons! I will be in touch!
