crewel crafting

I did this little bunny crewel over the weekend...

cuteness

Cram Cream and Decole at Colorful Cute. A-dorable.

redwork

fabrics and such

so some pictures from my shopping in Michigan.

try to buy your own smaller piece from this ebay seller for $46.

I talked my mom into visiting a great cake decorating store in Bay City...a sampling of my purchases:


we visited a bazaar the day after Thanksgiving where I bought some vintage linens.




and here's a picture of the gobs of red and white fabric I've compiled for my next quilt:
