super*productive

last night i spent 8 hours straight in a my craft space (it's nowhere near a studio...just a giant table with complete with sewing machine, cutting mat and *loads* of fabric stacked on the back of the couch with a great view of the tv where dreamgirls has been playing straight for like 2 weeks---it's the best music to sing to while sewing and crafting!) anyhoo....sewed til 4am yesterday morning and made 4 pillows, another pillow top, and am half finished with a quilt top. WHICH MEANS....lots of new pretties added to my etsy shop! yay! my goodies will also be featured in the etsy main showcase today which i am really excited about :)
in other great news...i am off to chicago this weekend for training for my new job! i will be working as a wedding photography consultant and i am *very* excited to be working in this industry.

valentine's day was awesome...scott made me this amazing photo montage dvd to music of our entire 7 months together and then we went out to this great authentic mexican restaurant for dinner and an amazing traditional mexican band. i also made scott's gift and made him a banana cream pie, his favorite which we had after we saw definitely, maybe (cute, but long). overall, a really *lovely* holiday.
i'll leave you with some new pretties!

Those quilted patchwork pillows are BEAUTIFUL! (Not that everything else isn't, by any means.) Great color choices!

Your work is beautiful! I especially love the birdie pillow and the Summer vacation pillow - it's brilliant to use a grayish tone to contrast with the bright fabrics!

Thank you for taking part in The Great Comment Expedition on Feeling Stitchy! :)
