Just some commission work

Here are the projects that I've recently worked on. Slowly, the commission work is picking up.

Emma's 10th Celebration

Wow - it's been almost a month since my last post. What can I say, Life Happens! So here's a little of what we've been up to. Mostly celebrating Emma's 10th birthday!!!

Here's the Junk Food Junkie quilt I made for her. She LOVED It!

Then we had the family over and cooked some s'mores! YUM!

Then on her actual birthday night we took her to Medieval Times where she and Malek both got their faces painted.

This one really has nothing to do with Emma's birthday celebration, but I thought it was such a funny picture of Malek showing us his muscles. Something about the faux-hawk that brought out the tough guy in him!

Then Miss Emma had a slumber party with some of her best friends from school. Let's just say - 4 ten year olds and then Malek up in the middle of it all - I'm worn out! We swam, ate too much, watched movies and overall had a great time.
My living room was turned into a slumber party oasis! And of course you see the little mister right up in the middle AGAIN!
Bravely - my mom even joined in on all the fun.
So overall it's been a busy couple of weeks. Not a whole lot of sewing going on, with the exception of Emma's junk food quilt, but did manage to make a few more custom steering wheel covers for some folks here at work. Oh and some super cute Lobster themed placemates and matching coasters. I'll blog those in a separate post, because I'm sure I've overloaded you all on the pictures with this post!

I need a vacation! Maybe once school starts back up again I can catch a break! Yeah fat chance!

Doll Quilt Swap Revealed!!

Yes Megan it finally arrived!! It was a toss-up but Malek really loved the envelope more I think.

Thanks so much!! Love the colors and look at the quilting - awesome!

And this is the one that I made for Megan! Sweet and simple. She said she loved it - it was hard parting with those colorful scraps though.

Still working on the Lobster placemats and coasters. Hope to finish those up this weekend so I can post a couple of pics. I've also got a couple more special orders for my steering wheel covers! Check them out here in my etsy shop - I do special orders too! Just convo me!

Oh how I love junk food!

The top is done for Miss Emma's Junk Food quilt!! Yeah! That's what I did this weekend - not too shabby. Now hoping my quilter can get it done and sent back to me before her party on the 16th next month!

Doll Quilt Swap 2 Final TEASE!

Behind original due date but AHEAD of new due date!!

One last tease for Megan before she receives it in the mail.

Enjoy! Jenn

Also on a sad note, my friend whom I made the Mary Engelbreit FRIENDS quilt for on this post, passed away on June 1st after the bravest fight battling a brain tumor. We'll miss you so much Nancy!!

Graduation

My Emma is now a 4th grade graduate....with honors!! Straight A's baby - all year!! She was also selected for the Gifted and Talented program next year!! "Us"

Emma and her Nana - my mom

Emma with Grandpa and Mary - my dad and stepmom

This is Mr. Kenneth Davis - whom Emma's school is named after. He gave each of the students their graduation medal.

And these are the squares for a quilt that I've been saving fabric for since last Fall. It's all kinds of yummy junk foods. It's for Emma to celebrate her 10th birthday that's coming up on July 2nd. Turquoise and Hot Pink - HER signature colors!

Oh crap - just noticed that I've got 2 fry squares next to each other in the bottom row. It's much easier to tell what needs to be switched around once you've taken a picture of it. Kindof hard to tell laying out on the bed. Oh well - at least the squares are done - the swapping of squares is the easy part. I hope to get the top done this weekend so I can mail it off to my quilter and have it back in time for Emma's sleepover slumber party on the July 16th.

So - lots of other projects in the works too - what else? That's how I roll!

Later!
