"Thank me later" Thursday

Need a good laugh or just wanna smile? The other day I happened upon a little gem. It's a Flickr group dedicated expressly to pictures of dogs on roofs. Who doesn't wanna see that? Silly and interesting. You're welcome :)


T minus 8 days! I've been busy trying to get stuff together for Spring Bada-Bing. I've been mentioning that a lot in my posts lately but that's because it's on my mind a lot. I'm trying to figure out the best display for my quilts which is kinda tricky. The ideal display is probably hanging them in some fashion but for this show the display is a six foot long table.


Other crafters have suggested adding some sort of levels to table displays to give them dimension and added interest. I'm still trying to figure out something that would work along those lines. While I'm on a roll posting links to Flickr groups, you might want to check out this one too. It's a group called "show me your booths" (hehe) dedicated to pics of various crafters' display setups at shows.


Maybe I can get some good ideas if I keep looking through them.
Happy Thursday, everyone!

Personal question

I know this is gonna seem very forward of me but -- What do you do with your leftover scraps? Do you use them in small projects, use them as stuffing, throw them out? In addition to serving as possibly the best cat toys ever, I've been filling a vase with mine lately but as you can see, the vase runneth over. It makes for an interesting room decor and also serves as a fond (hopefully) reminder of the various projects the scraps come from. BUT I ought to be able to actually use them to create something considering all the supercute quilts and such I've been seeing that folks have made from just selvedge (and I mean stinkin cute).

Speaking of seeing lots of cool inspiring stuff, I recently started actually using my Flickr account (why didn't I do this sooner??) and joined the group "Fresh Modern Quilts". Talk about inspiration, I could spend all day looking at all that eye candy (which I mostly did, considering I'm pretty much down-and-out with a cold at the moment). Always nice to see what others are working on.


With that, I'm off to sip some honey tea in hopes it gets me feeling human again. If only it were that easy to repair the damage done in Japan. My thoughts are with all those who are affected.
