Bit of This and That

 So I'm starting to wonder if I'm talking to myself again as I'm getting almost no comments lately. I know I haven't been the most fascinating of people in the last little bit so I'm thinking maybe I've lost all my readers?
 Let me know.

Autumn is starting to show around here which always makes me happy. I love the colours, the smell, and feel of this time of year. The only thing that would make it better is being able to head to Muskoka for a while to fully immerse myself in the glory that is this time of year.


My all-time favorite picture, it's from two years ago but really I think it says it all!

Here is the first wave of colour for this year!

Been a while...

I can't believe what a bad blogger I've been the last little while. My only excuse is school's back with Little Bit, I'm making lots of wraps and writing patterns so there really hasn't been much going on that I can show, or that looks like what it is, in the case of the wraps, which are only tops until my backing arrives.

The machine has been in use that's for sure! Here are some of my earlier wraps. I love what  I can do on the long arm compared to my machine at home!

I thought I'd share some of Shane and Little Bit's fishing adventure from August.

She wasn't so sure about the pike, but she enjoyed watching it come out of the water and the whole process to her plate.

The Christmas one was so much fun let's do Fall-O-Ween!


And since it's fall not Halloween maybe I'll escape being creeped out, I don't do well with the bugs so common around Halloween, but I absolutely adore Fall so here we go!

Friday Night Sew-In Results

I'm afraid I'm late with my post but I didn't do much that is fun to show! I did some pattern writing for someone, and did a little braiding with the Sultry jelly roll I picked up from Nicole's Stash sale Part 1. I've got 3 of the 4 braids done so hopefully this one will be done today.

These are going to be the sides in another wrap. I'm afraid between upcoming projects for Moda Bake Shop, Riley Blake's Cutting Corners, and some freelance pattern work I've not a lot to show but the wraps I'm also making and selling right now.
This week though I've promised myself some me quilting so we'll see!

Oh the craziness!!

 I'm so sorry for being away almost a week! Things have been crazy, exciting and unfortunately kinda confidential, at least for a little while!

 Though I am being featured as a Canadian blogger over at Nugglemama's Handful. Go check it out!!

  Most of the things I'm working for involve my original designs, and some very cool people! But if I share it won't be as fun and surprising. And it may jinx things.

 I will tell you I've had my heart in my throat several times this past week. And I've done a lot of sewing/quilting.

I will show you some of the  wraps I've made and quilted in the last little bit. No not Little Bit, little bit, as is a period of time in the immediate past that is short in duration. Ok. I know you knew that but I'm in a funny mood today!

 Here is my gorgeous aunt modeling my wraps for me! All of which are sold. Yes all. Already. And they want more. I'm going to be a busy bee! Especially if I can't get this binding issue solved.
The issue? I need to figure out how to eliminate the hand sewing part of bindings. I have some ideas and will let you know how they turn out!

 And I'm just saying that an AccuGo! would make my life way easier, and cheaper, if I could use yardage and have something else cut it to the strips, because my shoulder/elbows have been giving me fits lately, especially when cutting.

Ok off to make up goody bags for Little Bit's birthday party tonight with all her school friends...
