So many little things going on in the studio this week. Most aren't photo worthy, like finishing the backing for Quilting Protection Program Project #1 or tidying the stash closet, but there are a couple worth sharing, my trusty tackle box for one.
Not so interesting, you say? What about if I open it? ☺
Better? It's my collection of embroidery floss circa 1995. Please note the dividers and the masking tape labels. Yup, I've always been organized/had OCD. But back then, I didn't have a label maker. Here's another blast from the blast -price tags from Crafters Haven and Lewiscraft. Can one buy anything for 49 cents anymore? Ack. I just sounded VERY old.
Why did I even open that dusty old case? Himself gifted me a stitchable iPhone case for Christmas. What fun! I found
this lovely version over at Hugs are Fun that reminded me of HSTs. So I set to copying it. I'm gonna need a little help from my friends to collect enough colours of floss to complete this one! Two evenings of TV viewing and stitching later and here's my progress...
And in other WIPs, another fabric pull! There was such commentary on the fabrics I pulled for my
January OMG goal that I had to get out some more. You see
Val @ Purple Boots & Pigtails, I'm well prepared for the stashpocolypse! But seriously, a little birdie told me that I might have my long awaited Quilter's Planner in my hot little hands this week-end. Time for
a planner cover!
Whimsical babushkas? Trendy C+S Mochi? Practical navy? Plain 'ole weird Tula Pink. Decisions, decisions. Opinions welcome!
I'm linking up today with Lorna's

P.S. Many thanks to Yvonne @
Quilting JetGirl for her inspiration in figuring out how to watermark my photos. She offered up
a tutorial yesterday, so I'll be experimenting for the next little while!
