Just checking in a bit. Nothing really interesting to mention other then the fact that I’m currently working on many projects. Some paying, some that don’t and some that’s a little of both. One personal project is basically I’m recycling an old blanket in to a homemade quilt. Its nothing fancy but the different old pieces of cloth make it fancy looking enough already. But nothing like some of the professional looking quilts I have already seen at my local church offered up for raffles. But still good enough for me. The old blanket already resembled a quilt but was apparently a simulated print. Really nice in its heyday but now full of holes. For the old patches of material, I’m using a lot of my formally favorite clothing from the past many from my child hood, such as a favorite pair of hot pink with a checker board racing stripes on the side biking shorts I had when I was little. I still have some pretty goofy pics and videos of me wearing those and playing with friends. I also have some formally favorite PJ’s and or night gowns that I just couldn’t get rid of cause I just loved the cute whimsical characters plastered all over the surface. So they’re going on my quilt too. Here’s a recent pic of my now former blanket now quilt. Since that pic I made it to the other side of the blanket. Can’t wait to see the results when its finished.

I wonder if any on else has a favorite bunch of clothing from the past and present that you can’t just bare to throw out. Humm I wonder if Chelly has any that she kept. Hummmm!
Tina, I love the quilt! What a fantastic idea. It looks wonderful! You are so talented. I'm so sorry that I missed this post. And am so honoured that you mentioned me! :) Yes I still have some old blankets from childhood. I wish I saved more stuff—like some of my favourite outfits. I have some old fabrics that mum used to wear and old throws that she crocheted.
I used to have a patchwork quilt as a kid too. I wish I still had it or even a piece of it. Your lovely quilt reminded me of it. I actually wanted to do a post on it. Thanks so much for reminding me. There's nothing like a quilt to keep you warm and snug.
Cool Thanks. That's wonderful that you do have at least some of your favorite stuff but even more important then that are the memories associated with those. Saves a lot of room. ;) But anyways looking forward to your new blogger thread about your choice clothing faves of the past. That aught a be cool.
Actually my next post will be about a pic of me when I was 7or 8 years old. Sort of because it involves a certain animated cartoon airing on the weekends I really find appealing and relatable in some way.
