Marble Magnets

I got bored the other day and made some marble magnets I saw online. SO much fun! Seriously, it's addicting. Above was made from my Christmas wrapping paper. Don't worry, I've made more since then! (They seriously ARE addicting!) Lucky for everyone I'm not posting them because my internet is getting turned off tomorrow in prep for the big move.

FINALLY!

Two years ago I decided to make a quilt. So I bought some fabric online, cut the squares, sewed it together, and then stopped. I wanted to quilt it by hand but I didn't know how so I set it aside and it sat. For a year. Then I got a wonderful lesson with Ella Phinizy who is a pro at hand quilting! This was around the time my parents were moving so I had a lot of empty space for quilting. But I didn't finish in time before they moved. So it sat. For 6 months. Then I set up shop outside to which I got badly sun burned, but 3 books on the ipod later and I finished! (hand quilting anyway) All I had to do was the edges. 6 months later...I finished!!! I am so happy with the results but there is no way in you know where that I will EVER do something like that again.

Here's a blurry close up.
