funnist day ever!

yes, i know "funnist" isn't a real word, but yesterday it really was in my land!! we had our Yam-Christmas Party and it was amazing... more photo's to come! But, i wanted to finally share what my main gift was to my sister Yam Violet...

we all decided it was very "good" for her gift, that i've had a lot of extra time to hand sew!! hahaha...

Xo, Heather

Okay, okay...

You guys are all right! i listened and stayed on my ever increasing sized butt and prepped these little patchwork hexagon wreaths for a set of Christmas napkins! it took all the patience i could muster up to stay put for all EIGHT of them... hahaha... but, i love them and i think they are really going to add a ton of Christmas cheer to my dinning room table!! :)

i lOVE bright Christmas decorations with lots of twinkles!!

a dear friend is coming over to cut up my fabric for me tomorrow! I'm so excited to put these together!! :)

XO, Heather

really...???

sigh... i felt so much better yesterday. That i sewed a little zippy bag and three sachet bags ( waiting on my lavender supplies to arrive! ) for a friend's Christmas gift and now i feel like sore poop again!

but, what's an addict like myself supposed to do?? It's the holidays damn it and i really want to sew! GGGggrRRrr... i guess it's back to the couch and handwork again ( at least for one more day )... bleh...

and thanks so much for all your well wishes here, texts, FB, and through email! They really brightened up my day... YOU all really are soOOOooo sweet too me!!

XO, Heather

homework.

who has homework in the summer you ask??... OOhhh... yeah, that'd be me! It was bound to happen considering my slug-a-licious sewing behavior these past few months. but, it could be worse i suppose... i could have to do something quite awful like my children and go back to middle school! ha! suckers!! LOL just kidding boys... Mommy loves you! wink, wink!!

regardless... it's just simply stacking up! hahaha...

apparently in one of my fashionable tantrums this summer... i decided, i needed a pink quilt. i think that was a month ago. i don't even like pink!

yeah... and while sitting poolside with my boys, thought i finally start sewing together my hexie pillow... still in strips.  can you guess where this post is going??... ;)

OOhhh... and i surely picked up some fanTASTical Laminate Happy Mochi Yum Yum by my lovely Sister Yam Monica this summer too!!... all for Ashley's fab tote tutorial!! and, yes...this project really DOES peeve me off that it's still sitting on my ironing board! GGgrrr....

It's just sooOOOOooo painful to continue... but, here goes...

since, me and the Yammies meet at Sew, Mama, Sew... i couldn't help falling hard for these lovely coastal fabrics when i saw them in person... sigh... can you just see the drunk love possibilities, so chic!

and you can't even make a quilt pattern, let alone my new place mats ( in my very biased opinion ) with out the lovely Peacock Lane by my other equally fabulous Yammy Sister, Miss Violet Craft!

then why don't you just throw on a mound of "hurt all" on top with the amazingly ridiculous Ruby Star Rising 2 from the very talented Melody Miller!! i need to be punished for not yet cutting into these yet...

yep... i've been real bad. pretty sure i have a big o'le { F } for the summer sewing. Maybe, well... if you all would... possible stop being creative for like a month... i could catch up??? it would certainly help me finish with Lotta Jansdotter's new Echo line. i'm just saying... if you could??...

either way... please say i'm not the only one???... i could use a crew of "should, coulda, woulda" to hang with!
