I feel like I’m getting my groove back a bit.
I got a new camera, a Nikon D5000 (DSLR). I’m really bad at it so far. It’s so easy to get sucked into the fairy tale of pictures that people post on their sites that are SO gorgeous. Mine are definitely no Pioneer Woman photos yet, but maybe someday :)
Soooo, what does a new camera for me mean for you? Posts that have decent pictures again!
Woo Hoo!
My CGQC goals were pretty simple this time around, and even though it’s not quite deadline time, I’ll share my progress.
1. Finish making the two pillows for my future sleeper sofa in the sewing room. :) ONE DONE, ONE TO GO.
Apparently Jack really needed to get in the chair! He’s my best helper :)
2. Keep up with the Fat Quarter Shop blocks of the month. Block 2 just arrived and I’m hoping to get it out of the way pretty soon. DONE! I’ve completed blocks 1, 2 and 3!
Oh, that last picture…yeah, I didn’t crop it on purpose. Crazy angle I caught there, straight up from the ironing board. Yes, those are my fat ankles…but my toes are clean and painted blue :)
3. Go see Eclipse with girlfriends. Definitely didn’t happen :(
4. Paint and put together the bunk beds for the boys’ room. This will be “officially” putting the boys to sleep in the same room. DONE DONE DONE!!!…more pics on this in the next post.
5. Finish two sections of my cross stitching project…Sweet Treats. DONE!!! Two out of 6 sections done, and some of the outer border too!
SO, all in all, not too bad. 3.5 out of 5. I’m pretty pleased with that! I still have a couple weeks to finish that last pillow, but I don’t think I’ll have the time to squeeze in a flick. Oh well. I’ll get it on Netflix!
All that sewing and crafting has left my sewing room in quite a mess!
I guess I know what my next project is…CLEANING UP!!!
Until then…happy stitching :)

You have been busy! Lots of great sewing and I think, a messy room is generally a sign of a productive room!
Jack is SO cute!
Good luck learning about your camera!
Congratulations on reaching so many of your goals. I love how the Christmas mystery BOM is coming out! Your first pillow is great too! Your Jack is adorable! Oh my! What a heartbreaker! Congrats on your new camera! Good luck with the cleaning up. :D
Great blocks! I especially like the wreath. And that Jack is quite handsome!
Hey, there are some white tab curtains there ----
Love the blue pillow sweetheart!
Love the blocks! Good luck with the cleaning.
Nice camera!
And that teal/green pillow is gorgeous! Jack's a real cutie.
Lucky! You got a new fancy camera? Someday... your son is adorable by the way :) Love your blocks, great job on them. Messy sewing rooms are good, it means you are working!
Nice camera - I think your pictures are pretty snazzy! I love the Christmas blocks and have seen that on a couple websites - cute! Your helper is a cutie too and I bet he can be a big help! I really don't think your room looks that bad...mine gets knee deep (or so it seems) sometimes. The pillow is cool! I love the quilting on the colored parts.
Pretty soon you will be a pro at using your new camera.
BTW-LOVE the pillow!
Enjoy your new toy,
Stefanie
Nice new camera! A good day in the craft room always means a mess afterwards.
I bought a Nikon D5000 camera in April and love it!!!!!!! You will too. My learning curve is huge but i am slowing learning to stay off of automatic. Aperture is one of my favorite. Love your quilts.
