The Strange are Quilting

This week at work has been pretty dead, so I let my creativity lead me. Growing up, as if you couldn't tell, I LOVED everything a little bit strange and macabre. I watched a ton of Saturday morning type cartoon shows. Most people would probably remember: Animaniacs , Tiny Toons , Histeria , Batman the Animated Series , Reboot ... but one that not a lot of people remember is Beetlejuice . It had a HUGE influence on me. I absolutely LOVE it. It is extremely pun heavy. It had the first ever character that was completely computer generated in a syndicated children's cartoon. The opening credit song still sends chills down my spine umpteen years later. It breaks my heart that it took until 2013 for the complete DVD collection to be released (the show ended in 1991), but you bet your bottom dollar I have it (and my kids love watching it). It is a great show with a lot of heart in it. Seriously, take a look some time. Some day I hope to make myself a poncho based on Lydia&#

I know it has been a while, but holiday gift sewing has gotten most of my crafting time. In fact, I have given some of my gifts already and forgot to take pictures of them to show off. They are just bowl cozies, but I think I did an okay job on them. I will try to take some pictures of the next batch I finish off before they go out. As for quilting, I got a bit bored today and started to whip something new up to get the creative juices flowing again. Do you know who this is going to be?! Now back to work! EDIT 12/20/2017 : Here is a pic of some of the bowl cozies I have been making. You can see more info about them (like what pattern I am using and stuff over at textillia ). And yes, my only camera is my way old tablet and it sucks monkey balls.
