Labor Day Fun: prepping for new projects

It's fitting that on Labor Day I finally have the time and energy to begin prepping for some new projects. Check out the fabrics I bought this morning!


So with an idea in mind, and remembering the wonderful colors and shapes that I was inspired by on my visit to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium and the beautiful beaches, I headed over to my favorite brick and mortar fabric store, Stonemountain and Daughter. The fabrics above are all for a new quilt I'll be working on. Unfortunately, this will be another long project that will take me weeks, if not months to complete. What a bummer, but a great lesson in patience. I'll try and post updates on my progress to keep me motivated; it'll give me a sense of accountability!

I've also begun prepping my materials for Christmas gifts (yes, already)! Did you read that lovely sisters of mine? I'm already getting started on your Christmas gifts! I'll be spending a lot of my evenings working with my hands, needles and thread. I can't express how much I'm looking forward to being creatively active again. And since I don't wan to spoil the Christmas surprise,  I'll refrain from posting images.

And for now, I'm off to finish cooking my mom's famous Mexican rice.
