My seatbelt was driving me nuts!!

So I made this handy little seatbelt cover. I know they have them for sale at the auto parts stores or Target but I wanted a CUTE one. And it stops my seatbelt from rubbing my neck. Yes, it's the little things that drive me crazy but this is no longer one of them! Yippee!

I haven't been doing any 'fabric' crafts since Scott and I got engaged (10 days ago)....... it's been nothing but wedding plans. Trust me, we've thought of eloping but we both have semi large families and they've all expressed how they can't wait for us to tie the know. We've looked at all sorts of locations from San Jose to Monterey (my favorite) and tomorrow we're off to Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world. I didn't realize it was so expensive to get married.......and we're not even planning anything lavish!! So I've been working on ideas to save us some money. We'll be creating our own stationary (Save the Date cards, invitations, thank you notes, etc), the flower arrangements (simple is the key here), the table decorations and the wedding favors. It's all very exciting and overwhelming at the same time. And I get to go dress shopping!!! And new shoes!!!! Yeah, like I need another pair of those.

Much love to you all,

Stacy

You're never too old to be giddy! Or to get married!!!!

After living together for almost five years, Scott asked me to marry him this weekend. It was very romantic...we were at Lover's Point in Pacific Grove (near Monterey, CA) and he did the whole getting down on one knee and everything!!!

He's a wonderful man.......and he supports my quilting habit! Ha! I have to admit......it's been a LONG time since I've had to think about a wedding. There's alot to do! Luckily we're having a small ceremony/reception so it shouldn't be too much to worry about. Guess the most important things we have to figure out are where and when. Ooooh, and dress shopping! That should be fun (I hope).

Now it's time to hit the treadmill......I've definitely packed on a few pounds over the last few years and I've gotten get those extras off so I can fit into a dress. Wish me luck!

Woo-hoo! I got it fixed!!

Apparently my work computer has a bug because it wouldn't let me upload photos. My home computer is much happier and is letting me do what I need. Yahoo!!

I have a desk I bought at Target to use in my quilting room as my sewing table. Trouble is I always have too much stuff on the desk and it's hard to cut fabric on it, let alone sew anything. Target has a coordinating desk that I was going to buy and use as my cutting table but they wanted $150.00 and that seemed like alot of money. So my wonderful man decided he would make a table for me. We bought the supplies and he put it together.......he's very good at that kind of stuff.....came up with the pattern on his own (my kind of man!). We got it all painted and hocus-pocus.....I have a cutting table!!  And it goes perfectly with my desk

New Cutting Table

Desk from Target (all the stuff came from me)







I tried some baking last week......I haven't made pies in YEARS and this one turned out really good with one exception. I covered the pie before it was completely cooled and the crust got soggy. Not to worry.....we added some vanilla ice cream and it was delicious!!!!

Here is the super cute needle keeper I won from Becky over at The Patchwork Posse. Isn't it adorable?? She even included some needles (very thoughtful).

Okay, now that I have my blog back up and working, I'm feeling much better. Whew!!!


Hope everyone's having a great week!! Thanks for stopping by!
