Winter Stuff

We are officially in the meaty bits of winter.  The time when one must find ways of distracting oneself from the view of the outside.  Here things have melted somewhat, and the bare earth has begun to poke through.  The warmth has made things slushy and ugly.  So to keep myself sane, I have begun a few projects.

#1 A Whole Lotta Cards n Stuff on Shutterfly

With a delicious $20 off coupon, I have made a bunch of cards for the upcoming year's holidays.  Mostly bday cards because, heck, I'd be spending the cash on those cards anyways, why not make 'em nicer and cheaper.  I also got a nifty $10 off coupon after my order.

#2 Making a Scrap Quilt

With the help of my creative husband, I started a quilt with my pinks stash.  It uses a hts, or half triangle square; the design is made up because of the odd amounts of fabric I am trying to use up.  This is my second quilt.

#3 Trying to solve our furniture situation

We have a couch currently that I got for free from a garage sale a few years ago, and I have been offered a really good deal on a nice couch and love seat by some people I work for cleaning their house.  Question is what to do with the old couch.  Honestly, it needs to be reupholstered, but the couch guts/frame are in good condition.  Hmmmrrrrrmmmm....
