Ordered Chaos






It's been a fun weekend at our house. Other than my littlest buddy having an ear infection and coming down with a nasty cold myself, I've felt really productive! There are several projects in the works...here are a few that I'm working on right now...









Here is my FIRST QUILT! Woot woot! My best North Carolina Buddy was having some trouble finding the "right" bedding for her newest little "Brady"...I thought, "I can do that!" Sure! And it turned out that quilting is so much easier than I thought...especially with lots of advice from my friend, Jen, some inspirational "eye candy" from some etsy professionals, and a few good 'ol YouTube video tutorials! I'm not quite finished hand quilting within the squares and attaching the binding, but it's really coming along!


With a really GREAT tutorial from a blogger and quilter whom I admire, I was able to make this nifty camera strap cover...no more neck burn from Nikon's "sharp" neckstrap...plus my Nikon D80 looks totally cuter... (except when my husband is using the camera...) Go to here if you'd like to make one too! (Thanks, cluckclucksew!)



I leave you with a picture of my littlest "creative buddy"....

Hey Ariel. I found your blogs from your FB page. You'll have to show me your camera strap. I've been looking at some on etsy. I'd love to make my Nikon cuter.
