Hello, my name is Tammy and I am a fabriholic

Hello, my name is Tammy and I am a fabriholic (is that even a word?  It needs to be a word)
No for real though, I always go to the fabric store with the intent of only purchasing what I need to work on the current customers quilt and I always leave with extra fabric because "oh my gosh look at this it would make a perfect gift for (enter any name here)!"  And of course I have to get no less than 2 other coordinating fabrics because what kind of quilt can I make with only one fabric cut? 
Today I went in for 2 yards of black fabric to finish up the top I'm working on and nothing else...
I did really great.  There are so many amazing fabrics right now with spring and Memorial Day right in front of us.  But I held strong.  Touched them matched a couple but put them back and headed to the check out.
Woah!!!  Wait I do need another one of those (a sweet little trible jelly roll)...I bought that one last time and well I can't make anything decent sized with one jelly roll (this is a lie I often tell myself to talk myself into buying fabric, it worked.)
I am however currently working on a plan to help me get through my ufo (unfinished objects) pile.  I'll post about it when I get it all lined out.  It seems like a pretty good plan.  We'll see.

Have a great day. 

Thanks for reading.

Ps. That sweet little jelly roll is pictured here with the one I bought last time.  Now to find a pattern

Throwback Thursday

    Let me just start by saying straight out of the gate that I absolutely hate to be on the front side of any camera much less my own.  Now it isn't that I don't enjoy being in the moment, I do.  I just enjoy taking the pictures instead of being in them if that makes any sense at all.   With that said I'm glad I was on the front side of this camera this day.  I suppose all little girls dream of growing up, getting married and having babies.  I know when I was a little girl my friends and i would play house, we would more less mark of sections of the room as mine and theirs these sections would be my house or her house.  we'd have baby dolls name them fun names.  We had fun.  I don't know that I ever really thought about actually having children when I grew up.  And as I got older I remember that I didn't even want to get married when I grew up much less have any kids.  But we all grow up. And that guy comes along t...

Super sweet scrub

So the picture isn't the best, you're not looking at a wonderful back drop or perfectly packaged product for this jar of sugar scrub.  But what you are looking at is a simply wonderful homemade sugar body scrub.  I am guilty of spending more than my share of time on the ever growing in popularity website craze "Pinterest" just looking and pinning, pinning, pinning.  I asked myself some time last week "what is the point in this if I don't try some of the things I am pinning."  So yesterday I found this recipe for a sugar body scrub, it helps take off  dry dead skin and it hydrates as well. Now I know we haven't been hit with a bad winter (yet) but the air has been terribly dry and my skin is really suffering all dry and itchy.  My hands have gotten so bad that they were starting to crack and bleed around my cuticles.  So I made this scrub last night before taking my shower.  Here is what I did: Mix 1/3 cup of each in a bowl Brown sugar Regular...

A new year

Ugh!  I have started and deleted this blog entry more times than I care to admit. :)  I have so many things floating around in my mind that I want to write about that I keep jumbling them all up on the page and they are not making sense to me so I am sure you will not have a clue what I am saying...babble, babble, babble... Anyway maybe this one will work for us all. The new year.  2012  Wow.  I am getting so old, I don't ever recall thinking this far in to the future when I was a kid except maybe when I watched movies with flying cars and hoovering skate boards and such thinking it would be neat to have a flying car.  but here we are still living a pretty normal life without all that stuff. I chuckle a little when I think of all the things I enjoy, these things certainly don't "fit" the year 2012 as the movie writers would write it. Because I don't want a flying car, I think it would be fun to ride a horse everywhere or have a covered w...
