My Latest Craft Projects

Lately, I just can't get enough! Here are my two latest projects and one really cool soup.




As some of you already know, I've become obsessed with owls lately - so damn cute. I threw some scraps together and made this little pillow yesterday in about 30 minutes.






This quilt is for my mom - It's a total BUDGET quilt.

I found some spare fabric and purchased some yellows & blues on clearance. I totally did not expect it to be anything wonderful since it was such a mismatch but I love how it turned out. And it is so unbelievable soft and snuggly! The front is different cotton blocks & patches and the back is cozy flannel. Personally, I think it's my favorite piece so far.

I'm sure my mom will love it too...now if I can just convince her to USE it instead of packing it away and "SAVING" it!









MMMmmm! 15 Bean Soup!
It FINALLY rained here this week. Southern California hasn't seen rain in 6 months!
NOT ONE DROP!
So when the clouds finally opened up; it was a perfect soup day.

While rinsing the beans, I thought this looked so cool!
