Bad Blogger.

So I have been super slack with the updates BUT I have an excuse. I have been busy being domestic.

I made cupcakes for easter, they were adorable and a huge hit at work and with the hubby!

Here they are in all their glory! They were delicious and very cute if I do say so myself!

I have also started quilting. Yes, it's true I have not touched, yet alone used a sewing machine since grade 8 which was, oh some 11 or 12 years ago. This is me who is averse to sewing on a button and would rather disgard the article of clothing sans button than actually sew it on.

Well, I am loving it. I have made 2 rag quilts so far (they're small blanket size) and I am actually quite proud of myself. Sure, they're not perfect by any means, my sewing skills are something to be desired but not terrible and I think they turned out preeetty darn good.

This is the boy one I made, the pic doesn't show the colours very well, but it is blues, browns and tans and an adorable print with trains, planes and automobiles!

And this is the girl one! This one I used 100% cotton fabric and then the flannelette inside! (the other one was all flannels) I love the combination of colours on this one too; greens, browns and purples. In the second pic the flash actually worked so you can see the colours a little better!

Our Easter weekend was great. I was off for four days and got the quilts done and started on to my 3rd one which I am very excited about the fabrics! Can't wait to show y'all!

We also started painting our house, we got 2 walls done, so we have a long way to go but once we get this one room done with the kitchen I will post some before and after pics. I also want to make some sheer curtains for the french doors, right now they are white and are just the ones that came with the house when we bought it. Not very chic.

I'm off to cut some fabric!
