My Creative Space

 

This is the beginning of my very first quilt. These fabrics were all found in Funky Junk tonight. I was inspired by them and went on a square cutting frenzy. I don't know how many squares I have cut, this doesn't show all of them, so it is more than enough for a queen size quilt I think. This was going to be my puff pillow quilt, but I am thinking that possibly it might just be an ordinary simple block quilt. Maybe, or maybe I'll change my mind while I toss and turn thinking about it all night. I have a few more great funky junk finds that I will try to photograph tomorrow.

I feel like I just want to get my sewing machine out and sew all night, to finish this thing which is exciting now, but will be less exciting in the morning, and even less exciting by the time I actually get a chance to do some sewing. Hopefully if I keep the squares somewhere I can see them it will keep me inspired.

Puff pillow quilt....ordinary quilt....puff pillow quilt...ordinary quilt....how will I decide.

My “first” Creative Space…

This is my first time linking up with My Creative Space over at Kootoyoo. Thursday is not usually a very creative day for me, it’s usually a catch up with housework, run errands, try to get things done that I can’t do with 2 kids kind of day.

But this morning while blog surfing I am also finger knitting, as in using my fingers as a loom. This is the latest obsession in my house, not just to me, but also to hubby, who has been whipping up a couple of scarves a night for the last couple of nights.

I had never heard of finger knitting before, but a couple of days ago I found this tutorial, and since then I haven’t been able to stop. This is one of those crafts I love, Cheap, Easy & Quick!

So instead of going crazy, tapping my fingers on the desk while I wait for pages to load because of my super slow internet, I can sit back and knit a scarf. Multi-tasking at it’s best.

By the way, this is the last day to enter my giveaway. There are already so many entries, I am shocked at the amount of followers I have ended up with because of this, and I am loving all the great comments I’ve been getting as a result!! I wish I could send everyone a basket of goodies, but then I would have nothing left in my house!
