Blogger down

So the blogger has been down for hte last 24 hours.
It seems many of the comments have been erased (hopefully they will come back).
I'm trying to fill in the holes for the swap.
I believe the spots that are left are
N Y and Z

I may need helping finding everyone's contact again if the comments don't come back.
Please be sure to leave your email address (especially if it's not listed through your blogger account).

ABC Swap #2

I'm going to attempt to do 2 ABC swaps at the same time!
If you're interested in joining, leave a comment with your letter of choice.
You may sign up for more than one spot.

We'll be cutting 5" squares.
Find a fabric that matches your letter (ie t=trains, c=cherries, f= frogs)
Cut 26 5" squares
Send me the squares.
I'll send you back the entire A-Z set.
Mailing will be early June.

**I'm offering the same deal as with swap #1. If you take Q or X I'll include 20 4" I spy squares from my stash. Look in the #1 swap post for ideas for each fabric**

ABC Swap closed-should we do #2?

Thanks for all the interest.
The 1st swap is full.
I'm thinking of doing a 2nd ABC swap (if we can get enough people)
If you're interested leave a comment.
We may need people to take 2 letters. Please let me know if you'd be willing to do 2 letters.

ABC I Spy Swap

I've been waiting to host this and decided I'm ready to jump into hosting another swap.

Here's the details.
I'd like to have the fabric mailed to me by June 6th. That should give us lots of time to shop. If I get everyone's fabric sooner, I'll send it then.

This is an ABC I-Spy swap.
Each person picks a letter, find a fabric for that letter (ie c-Cat, L-lizard, I-ice cream, A-apple etc).
Cut 26 5" squares (I know it's more yardage than 4" but then we get better pictures)
Send them to me
Once all 26 letters have been sent to me, I'll send you back a complete A-Z set.
Make a quilt, make a letter book...just have fun!
Leave a comment about what letter you want, block preference and your email!!

You are welcome to sign up for more than one letter.

Here's what we have so far-
(PS. If you're willing to take the tricky letter of X or Q, I'll add 20 extra I-Spy 4" squares from my stash to your alphabet package. I think there is xray animal fabric called xray animals, it has dentist animals holding up the xray of themselves. )

Life!

So it's been a while.
Flynn is currently cutting 4 teeth, finishing meds for a double ear infection and has been cleared of pink eye!
Needless to say this week was crazy, last night was the 1st night he didn't wake up at all. Every other nights it's 2-3 times a night.
Can't wait to see what tonight brings!!

More I Spy swaps

For all those who love I spy swaps, check out http://fabrikatedesigns.com/
She's hosting a larger 40 person swap and she's from CT too!

Flynn's naps today have been 3 so far, all being short, nothing like his usual 2 1/2 hour afternoon nap. But somehow I've managed to get some sewing done as well as cleaning.

The xmas tree is coming down (looking for any last ornaments that were missed) and then the house will start to be "de-xmased." My husband would leave it up all year if he could!
