After the week I've had, you can probably imagine why this little embroidered tea towel caught my eye...
Oh, to be that crisp and pert! I feel like I've been hit by a bus and dragged for 3 blocks, and I'm sure I don't look much better. And while I've never actually had a martini, I always imagine that it is a "relax at the end of a long day" kind of drink. It's been a L-O-O-N-N-G-G couple of days, and some relaxation sounds pretty good right about now. So, I'll be making a little wallhanging of this gal to pull out on days like this. The pattern is in the June 2008 Crafts 'n Things magazine, a magazine that I've never seen before, but that my mom scavenged for me from some people at work who were throwing them away. I'm not particularly crafty, so there's not much in there that I can do, but I have pulled out a couple of ideas.
I also have been getting some ideas from Jenifer at Forty-Two Quilts. I first learned of her Wednesday Quilt Show when Bonnie Hunter had a quilt featured there recently. So I submitted some quilts and lo and behold, my Bright Idea quilt was featured there this week! So, while I was over there getting excited about having my quilt on someone else's blog, I came across the Diamond Argyle Quilt by Reeze Hanson of Morning Glory Designs. LOVE IT! It's on the same Wednesday Quilt Show blog entry as my quilt - go check it out.
Guess where I'll be going for eye candy every Wednesday...
