Munki Munki Snowballs of LOVE !



I am in Love with my Munki Munki Snowballs and not for the reason you all probably assume ;) I LOVE them because I am able to use charms of the fabric that have already been cut & prepared for me by the " Munki Munki Quilt A Long & Swap "! I figured today that if I was ever going to get anywhere near a lap size quilt with my Munki quilt - a - long desire... I would need to make two of these little 9.5' gems each month, soooo... when I went to start cutting into my stash earlier, I realized... duh, no need... I have charms!

Anyone who has made a snowball quilt knows just how fun they are, but those charms made them super quick to sew together too! I sure can't wait for our next Munki Charm Swap {which I'll be hosting, since Kerri so generously did the first}... My block just flew together!

I also started another stitching project! I think I may have a new addition... it's not my fault really, I blame Ariel! Her & Kerri's "Hand Stitched" Embroidery SWAP... it's very me!




I think it's going to look very cool next to my hoop from Kerri! Thanks Kerri!!!

Aqua & Tangerine....

These things I know to be true... The sky is blue, the grass.. green, and I am completely manic about organization! Now... I know you might be shocked by that slight turn of event, since past posts have shown some of my more embarrassing messy moments... but the truth is... I am a manic, organizational freak! This even extends into my love of Flickr. It only took one group for the addiction to take over and now I am admin of more than ten groups, swaps and/ or bees. I recognize that this is a bit wrong and inappropriate, but I just can't help myself { wink, wink } :)

Not only am I so fortunate to have just purchased a home in my hometown of Portland, Or.. I get to decorate it with my latest obsession... Aqua and Tangerine...



These are just some little treasures I have picked up lately at some local Goodwill's...





Please feel free to stop by for more beautiful examples of these color ways at The Sweet { Aqua } Tangerine!
