I got bored...

So, I was sewing some pillow shams for another crocheting project but when I got done, I wanted to sew some more. I don't really have any sewing projects in my upstairs sewing room, so I just grabbed some scraps and started basically 'paper piecing' without any paper or plan. I made three blocks on my 100 year old machine! (my newer one isn't powered at the moment... the whole rooms electrical is on the fritz).

I know the picture isn't the greatest quality. Sorry.

Beetlejuice.... Beetlejuice....

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&#

New Year...New Post!

 I'm not dead, I swear! I actually have a bunch of stuff to share with everyone... so hold on to your hats! First off, one of my newer patterns has been tested. The updated pattern is up on the site. Teddy has also been submitted to Fandom-in-Stitches, so I hope it will be up there soon too. I've also caught the quilting bug myself... though I haven't yet taken the plunge into paper piecing (I know... I know... I will, I promise!) Here are some of my FOs! Two completed jelly roll lap quilts (patterns from my head) and four quilt-as-you-go stocking for my family. I also made myself a nice little shirt. And this mask (out of leather, it was a kit) for Halloween: I also got a nifty Instagram account...not sure how much I'll use it, but it exist. Oh, and this is also happening (but not finished at the time of writing this) If anyone doubts my love of The Nightmare Before Christmas... well, they can see how much I love that movie! So, as you can see, I've been a busy bus
