(Nikon SB-50). and at the moment, they are something I consider a tad...pricey. so, I haven't taken any pictures since my last post. I had to record all the easter events, which worked out I guess because I haven't recorded much of the Little One lately.<div><br /></div><div>And I've started a new job on the weekend, so I didn't get anything done this weekend sewing wise. the Boy is leaving for about a week, so I probably wont get anything done for awhile.

I'm a big scrapbooker and over at Hostess-with-the-Mostess, she shared a really cute and easy idea for a bunny banner! so I'm making one to hang in out kitchen window with some twinkly lights (so you can see them at night of course) and I'm making a few to hang in our "Sharing Board". The sharing board is where I hung all our birthday cards a few posts back. I took a picture of the start of the project to share with you, and I'll post the "after" pictures tomorrow! My little one also slept in till TEN o'clock this morning so I managed to start getting my halloween coins in the order I wanted them sewn in.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8LrqG_faymlyuJbUa-IWfwOeyZbscXGumvpUbDxQaBIAgEs2RgPCHTqlAR0IkQqFGgrLbR6xTckaF5kaB-RvtA57uswdOHl_5X-q2WBLya8fANDrW20WcUdIUUQA29umXlb5fHn0mgJ82/s320/DSC_2708.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321951922403680114" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I always like to save all the cards we get.

I found the perfect <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21200769">necklace</a> and I can't wait to look around more. I'm getting so much inspiration from all the blogs I've been looking at!!! I've bid on some fabric to make a dog bed for my lovely Zelda (hopefully I win it!). the Boy is on spring break next week, so hopefully I can get both my quilts done! and maybe I'll get some nice fabric for my birthday on the 11th ;)<div><br /></div><div>I have some pictures to upload, that I'll do later.

So I've started to sew my quilts again and took some pictures of them being a "Work In Progress". I've become addicted to SewMamaSew (see blogs I follow)! They have SO many cute ideas. I just need a pattern for an apron...anyone? <br />I also found a cute pattern called "Coin Stacker baby quilt" that is featured on the moda bake shop. This pattern works out perfectly for the two Chic-Or-Treat charm packs I bought! I'll replace the white with black, and try to find a<div>cute backing fabric. That one will be passed on to my son, as well as a large red and white quilt I'd like to make (his favourite colour is red). Does anyone know</div><div> have simple patterns? I'm also looking for a march fabric swap to participate in, </div><div><br /></div><div>so if someone has information please pass it along!!!!<br /></div><div><br />Also, check out this site for some neat 50's stuff (I stumbled across it looking for diner recipes for my birthday dinner!<br />http://www.daddy-o.us/home.htm<br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And here's a link to a </div><div>green comet that you should be able to see in the sky for the next few</div> days...http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/storm_watch_stories3&stormfile=lulin_23_02_2009?ref=ccbox_homepage_top_title<div><br /></div><div>I'm currently playing around with different skins.
