GrRrRr
There is nothing more frustrating than to purchase something new, use it for a week....then mess it up! Grrrrr
Bought a new rotary cutting mat and you all KNOW how expensive they are. Well, I was working on my "secret project" for listing in my ArtFire shop this morning. Have been using my pinking shears for the project and my hand gets so tired. (Guess I need to buy those new ergonomic ones...but any way.) Then I had a genius idea (she says chocking). Why not use that cute little pinking blade on that rotary cutter that you never use? Good IDEA! Wrong...I knew better than to use it on my new mat...but time was ticking and I couldn't wait to get this little "ditty" finished. So...
Yep, it gouged a ding in the brand new mat! Grrrrr
Can't say I didn't warn myself...I knew better...but then....lesson learned!

What have I been doing?
I've been MIA...well not really. Just busy posting and listing new product in the new Handmade With Love Art Fire store.
We have 12 designers including myself and my partner in crime (Melissa)! You'll find us by clicking HERE AND you can follow our blog by clicking on the little sewing machine fast at work quilting those teeny tiny hearts at the top of the screen!
We have so many beautiful patterns from very talented designers...don't miss out. Visit us today.
So, between my "real job" and my FUN TIME job I've been way to busy to even think about The Attic. :( With a little luck and a lot of prayer I hope to be a bit more active in the site for a while anyway.
Working on a "secret" project. Just a hint: you could be seeing a new line of plushies at Handmade with Love. That is ALL I'm sayin'!
BUT before I go...here is a sneak peak of just one of our patterns from KOOLKAT Quilting.
It's now time for me to finish getting ready for work...but it is FRIDAY!

Check this out:
To celebrate the launch of this new show, our friends at Janome are letting us give away TWO (yes, TWO!!) dream machines! Someone is going to win the Janome 350e EMBROIDERY machine and a second person is going to win the Janome DC4030 SEWING machine! Now how cool is that?!

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
OUR HOME WAS BROKEN into 4 years ago this coming summer. While we have "recovered"...none of our personal effects were ever found. :-(
The "stuff" was just that...stuff(although my wedding rings were among the loot taken.)The scoundrels also did a lot of collateral damage to our home. Plan ole vandalism...we were at the end of a wonderful vacation in Eureka Springs, ARK when our grown daughter called with "the news".
While we were heart broken and sad we immediately started praying that God would not allow us to become bitter and that we would find it easy to pray for the person(s) responsible that they would come to know Him.
No we are not super Christian heroes or anything like that...we just knew that if we did not chose to "give it to Him" we would be personally affected in ways we did not want. Guess you could say we were selfish in that prayer.
Anyway...just wanted to give you a general background for what I am about show you!
My sewing/crafting room did not survive the break in...they took some things but thankfully things that were easily replaced...but the mess that was left behind was horrendous...fabric thrown, things moved and hidden under stuff...I mean these peeps had a lot of time to "do their thing" before they finally decided to leave!
It has taken me all these years to FINALLY get my room back to the way I wanted it and to MAKE IT MINE AGAIN! I would arrange and rearrange over and over and over again. Nothing seemed to 'work' for me. But the good news....I DID IT...it is finished and here is the 'evidence' to prove it.
The view from my kitchen:
Design wall and Accuquilt Go station. :-)
Cutting table:
The LONG awaited OFFICE...here is where I write and package your purchases!
This is NOW my favorite room in my house!
Sewing table with a great view to the outside world.
Fabric wall...NO THIS IS NOT ALL OF IT! There are tons in crates. LOL
And last but not least....going back into the kitchen.
Don't tell anyone but I love the fact that I have a concrete floor. I've scattered rugs around for a bit of warmth but cleaning up after a project is so easy. And don't you just love the added feature of the "old oil stained" look on the floor? LOL
In all the MakeOver my poor kitchen was sorely neglected...never fear...her MakeOver is next on the list. AFTER I get some sewin' done.
Now please tell me what you think!
