IN THE BEGINING GOD CREATED QUILTERS!!

I have been spending some time lately looking at blogs and got some inspiration from the crafty Celtic house wife's blog.
I decided i was going to tackle the art of denim scrap quilts lol
So here are the beginning's of my 1st denim quilt.
Haven't done many blocks so far but to use up all the smaller bits i decided to do some crazy patch blocks
BTW i am only doing 5inch unfinished blocks lol so this is going to take awhile lol.
i have used pocket pieces and all.
WISH ME LUCK!!!!

anyway i really would like to say thank you to all whom read my blog i didn't think i was all that interesting lol and most of the time i just blabber on about anything and everything lol
and a very special thank you to those who leave messages on my blog it is good to know that someone is actually reading it lol
You know who you are saphirz, swooze, sarkarnor, my three beautiful mates. love yas lots.

What takes up my time?

Well these days it is hard to get into my sewing room for much needed "me" time.
i did how ever get to do a little quickie today, it is a tooth fairy pillow. with a little pocket in the front of it for the tooth to be replaced with money. and i have finished the first border on my turning twenty quilt top.

I have a 3 year old that takes my time
I have a 35 year old that takes alot of my time , especially when i am cleaner, cook and chief bottle washer, secretary, and nanny all in one.
as well as look after 5 puppies 2 adult dogs and 1 cat that is in and out the front door constantly she is a pain in the butt. she refuses to use litter tray so she insists that she be let out everytime she wants out!.
all in all it is very frustrating!

LOOK WHAT I MADE!!!

Hey see what i made today, I just started sewing and this is what i came out with ,lol long way from a glasses case that i was aiming for lol.
Arnie Pat is sending me some glasses case patterns so im stoked i will actually get it right with a pattern lol..
so anyway what would you call this thing? it has a pocket , and a little green pocket to maybe put a pen in or your little snippers , or you qik unpick (seam ripper). suggestions please!! it folds into cd case size. could i use it for a travel sewing case? or a little bag , it does hold my mobile phone and my keys and my wallet.
and what price would you put on it if you were selling it?
my mother wishes for me to make a few small things for her to sell at their craft stall,
my mother crochets so she asked me to do some patchwork items for her. for a bit of variety.
p.s. it was made from scraps out of my itty bitty fabric box.
SO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK !!!! SUGGESTIONS GREATLY APPRECIATED !!!!!!
