Mail Sending Day!

Yesterday was a mail receiving day - and today I'm sending out mail!  Funny how that happens especially when I pretty much NEVER do either!  

I was able to wash, iron and cut up all my fabric for the I Spy fabric swap hosted by Sandra at Sew In Peace over the past few days, its amazing how much longer stuff takes with three kids!!  I made a mistake and didn't buy enough fabric and I cut one section of fabric SO badly that I'm pretty sure a drunk monkey could have cut the squares better, so I had to go back to the fabric store and buy a little more of each fabric to get my full 40 squares of each pattern.

I ran into a little issue with shipping but after a quick email with Sandra we were able to square things away and I shipped off my package this afternoon!  (Thanks again Sandra and I'm sorry again for the shipping snafu, darn international shipping!).

I can't wait until I get my fabric bundle in the mail in a few weeks, I'm so excited to see what kinds of fabric everyone picked out.

Oh yes - yet another day of Blogtoberfest done!  I am hoping that I can get some actual sewing done in the next few days so I can actually post something sewing related until then you get little bits of randomness that is going on in my life!  ;)  

I Spy Fabric!

I picked up the fabric for the I Spy fabric swap that is being hosted by Sandra at Sew In Peace at My Sewing Room today.  Sandra posted the 'rules' the other day and now that I have my cutting guidelines I'll be able to wash, dry and iron my fabric tomorrow during the day and then cut it up at night when the girls are in bed.

The fabrics are from left to right:

• Dino Scatter (not sure who its by)
• Little Ducky from Robert Kaufman
• not sure of the name of the Bus print but its from the Wilimington Print line.

I think the bus fabric is my favourite - probably because my oldest is obsessed with going on a school bus (which isn't going to happen since shes just in preschool this year!).

I'm so excited to see all the fabric that everyone gets and sends in - I think I'm going to make a great big quilt with all the squares so all three kids can play on it but we'll see what I come up with when all the fabric comes in.

Yippie - Day 8 of Blogtoberfest is done!  I'm on a total roll and so far I've only had one cheat/cop-out blogging day and I figure thats not too bad!  Until tomorrow everyone - to grandmothers house the kids and I go.....!  

I Spy Fabric Swap!

I've managed to tackle yet another project - this one should be super fun and SUPER EASY!  Or at least thats what I'm telling myself!  I signed up to be part of an I Spy fabric swap hosted by Sandra at Sew In Peace.

I need to hit the fabric store and pick out three different types of fabric for a total of 1 yard (I'll just buy a meter combined and call it a day since its easer for my non-yard thinking brain that way!) and then cut them into 5"x 5" squares for a total of 120 squares.  I don't have enough fabric in my stash to use what I have and who doesn't love a trip to the fabric store with a PURPOSE!?!  I love that!   

If you want to take part head over to Sew In Peace and sign up to be part of the swap!  We need either 20 or 40 people to sign up before the 15th of October.  

Whoot whoot - day 4 of Blogtober and I'm on a roll!!!  ;)
