Baby Book Project

Oodles of pictures of pages my daughter an I made as a gift for my DIL on the arrival of our first grandchild. A huge thank you to my daughter Jen who did almost half of these pages. We did all the work for this album in about three weeks total. Power scrapping at it's best. We love how it turned out and what a happy event to celebrate. Hope these baby pages inspire you to get scrapbooking! (Click to enlarge any pic.) There is also a MY STUFF page with a big pocket as the last page but I must have forgotten to take that photo. OOPS! ENJOY!

A View of the Workroom

A View of the Workroom--or how to use your antiques in your studio! It has been a while since I updated the blog! I will share all the quilts I have been making this year in a later post. First I want to share some photos of how I changed up my workroom. We basically removed the full sofa sleeper and a few smaller furniture pieces in the studio and moved several vintage sewing machines into it. I did streamline (ie get rid of) two big bags of rubber stamps and a bunch of knitting items to the thrift shop. I also donated a bag of non quilt fabrics--again! I tend to have to do that every few months as they creep in with the garage sale finds. Rearranging the suitcases trunks, tins and bins to accommodate fabrics and quilting supplies as well as all my existing paper crafting supplies was a juggling act worthy of this blog post. To the photos! Explanations of how I used my existing vintage items for storage are given below each photo.  Enjoy!  One of my own Mary Engelbreit insp
