it makes for not getting any actual sewing work done, but sometimes thats okay and we've enjoyed indoor pools, and parks, friends, and even... gasp... a germ infested chuck e cheese. thank you hand sanitizer.
i do all of this in the name of "operation no video games or tv till 5 pm" it's hard to do when that is a reward during the school year for homework completion and good grades...but if i keep them busy and outside, (thank you weather!) they tend to let the hours go by with out a "how much more time till we get to play games?" and surprise surprise, sometimes...5pm passes by and kids have been known to not play or watch tv for a whole day. only happened two times this break, but still we're doing pretty good.
most summers run like that for us.
last summer not so much with 3 moves between the june 1-july 29... we watched a lot of netflix and played games in between moves and swimming. but i wanted to see if i still had it in me. you know that whole schedule thing while they aren't in school bit. and it seems to of been a smooth transition back.
it makes me happy. :D
it's been a long time since we've had a really good schedule.
i'm so ready for it and i hope to implement it again during our summer months.
so to keep with the happy mood and spring love, lets have a happy little giveaway. nothing huge. just a little bit of happiness to make your day a little brighter as mine have been.
whoot i have a a project in this magazine. :)
soooooooooooo.....
i'm giving away three of these magazines.
and i'm throwing in one of my books into the mix.
all you have to do is:
tell me what you've been up to. any special projects or plans?
you know i've been enjoying the sun and dreaming of sewing...have you been sewing and dreaming of sun? or have you been doing both?!
only one entry please but please include your email address at the bottom of the comment.
i'll pick a winner later on this week.
:) happy spring!

I just found an amazing DC metro map quilt pattern. There are so many DC babies popping up in my life--I think this might become the perfect baby gift :)
I am waiting for my sister to find out if she is having a girl or a boy to get started on some baby projects. Today it is sunny and I have planted some flowers in the garden and repaired the trampoline netting.

I've finished a number of medium sized projects in the last few weeks and things are pretty quiet right now for me! I'm working on small baby quilts for our local hospital foundation, and not much else at the moment.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I'm working on a granny square quilt for my momma :)
Looks like u r having a super fun break! I am knocking out a bunch of hexies while visiting old grandpa. Lisa in Texas ...but actually Louisiana this week :)
So much fun! We're enjoying our first week of 70s here in Colorado and trying to stay outside as much as possible. Oh yeah. And trying to spring clean. Not so much:-)
I have been dreaming of sun because I am in the wet state of OR! But that has given me the chance to sew, sew, sew, the baby blankets for Dorenbecher Children's Hospital in Portland. Nothing super fancy, but I enjoy sending warmth and love to the children up there!
Love all of your tutorials and thanks for the giveaway.

I'm taking some classes for an MBA program, so I'm enjoying Spring Break by not having to do any homework and getting caught up on other house and family stuff. And enjoying the awesome weather we're having in Colorado with bike rides, can't wait for summer!

I finally finished all of the orders from my shop and now I am working on Easter dresses for both my girls. Should be done in plenty of time, that is if I don't get distracted with another project.
Well this crazy warm weather has me just waiting until this Sunday when our Spring Break starts. Well it starts for the kids on Sat. but I am working. It has been so nice that my sewing machine has been more of a dust collector. But sometimes it's nice to just take a break and enjoy your family which is what I intend to do. I think I may use your no tv rule for our spring breaknext week, thanks for the idea.
I am enjoying the wonderful weather by planting a garden...My first time actually planting a big one and I am really optimistic!
I'm so jealous of your sun! We've had 3 days of unseasonal snow, with some much more seasonal rain thrown in just to make everything slushy and awkward!
In the sewing room I'm about as uncooperative as the weather, jumping from project to project and creating more mess than anything else. I need a big dose of focus!
So I have been doing both, enjoying the sun it has been beautiful! And I have been sewing, sewing and sewing!
It has been a very busy week...my son is home on spring break from college and he celebrated his 21st bday. So I've had my share of cocktails this week with him! I have also finished a king size quilt for his birthday and I have two table runners in the works. Friday night I am having 17 family/friends over for my son's bday so I've been preparing/cooking for several days at night since I work full-time! Whew!
I just finished 4 small wall hanging that are gifts and a quilt top for a 10 yr. old boy. Am also enjoying the warm weather.
I cleaned out the craft cupboard. i am thinking about making some big headbands spoonball77@gmail.com
Spring break here as well!!! Temps in the upper 70's and the kids are loving it!!!! I have been able to quilt alot this week as the traffic is terrible in our little town this week. There was a slide on the interstate and all the southbound traffic off I-75 has been diverted thru here. One day the northbound traffic was as well because of a terrible accident. We have all accepted it, and using our time wisely. Thanks so much for the opportunity!!!
Ugh!! I've been painting the inside of my house but dreaming of quilting instead. I live in AZ so the weather has been beautiful.
I forgot my email!!!

Last night I finished a quick little skirt for my 4 y/o. It was my 3rd project. She thinks my new hobby is amazing. I see a lot more elastic waist skirts in my Spring break! Lucky for me she doesn't look too close. Would love to win the books though for more "mommy themed" projects.
pinkandlime@yahoo.com.au
Hmmm - lot's of crafty goodness going on at our place this Spring, I've been busy making the flowers from PlanetJune's free pattern as well as doing a little handsewing and other bits 'n' bobs...
Thanks so much for the lovely giveaway - I'll be keeping my fingers very tightly crossed as I would love to have a good look through your new book :-)
I've been making some new pillow shams for my kiddos to freshen their rooms up for spring. And I'm getting geared up to start on a disappearing nine patch for my cousin's little girl.

Out for a walk every day this week with my husband AND I just finished sandwiching and marking my KING size Single Girl for hand quilting. Whew - was that a job.
We're on spring break here too, so we are spending lots of time outside and I am attempting to clean (not an easy feat when you are 8 1/2 mo pregnant and have three little boys under the age of 7). I'm also trying to squeeze in some little Easter projects when the kids are asleep.

I just finished a Amy Ellis quilt that will end up in United Arab Emerits via India. A good friend of our family is getting married in India .......... sounds very international, non?
I've been busy with small projects and dreaming of bigger ones... Crayon rolls, cloth swim diapers, skinny little boy tees, counting bean bags...
thanks for the givewaway!

Hi! We had our vacation 2 weeks ago, and the weather was certainly with us her in NH as well. Right now, I am just getting my blog on after a 3 month lull while trying to get my new business off the ground. The word of the week is HOMEWORK!
So glad I am not the only parent who likes to go "game free" for vacation.
Thanks for the opprotunity -

I'm spending my spring break watching. Watching as a small repair, (done by the builder of our home, under warranty) has turned into a massive undertaking. Who would have guessed that they only put 2 nails in some I-beams and, oopsies, put nails in a decorative post anchoring it to the trusses and causing the house to, essentially, pull itself into a fist in the winter and spread like bird wings in the summer.
Needless to say, it's highly disturbing and I hope the construction works...so do our potentially buyers and the baffled engineers.
Did I mention that I'm in school, busy with my 3 young boys, and supposed to move in 3 weeks while watching all of this?
Oddly, what I am doing is not too stressful for me. Just interesting at this point. Although, I do wish I could at least see my sewing machine.
I decided to make my girls' Easter dresses this year so i've been trying to work on those in between bouts with a nasty stomach bug :( I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to more sun and outside play!!! I love your idea of no tv or games until 5pm....may have to try that one.

It's time to clean out the closets! And re-work my walk-in. It's not technically spring in interior Alaska, we just got two feet of snow, but that doesn't mean we can't start our spring cleaning right?!
Thank you for the giveaway!

I've joined in a couple of online quilting challenges lately which has been fun and pushed me to do new things. I've also made a couple quilts for gifts -- one for a couple getting married and one for a new baby -- which is something I always love to do.
At the moment I am trying to keep up with the NYB-sewalong on sew sweetness. It is fun, but the weather outside calls for my attention in the garden. So there is not to much time to sew.
Lovely give away! Thanks so much!
I'm working on : two baby quilts, two twin bed quilts, a dress for me for my son's wedding next month, three flower girl dresse's for the same wedding and my sewing room is getting a total redo by my Mr. Wonderful. I'm back to sewing at the kitchen table for now.
I've been dreaming of sewing...AND sun. :-/ my two little ones have put a whole new meaning to the phrase "march madness". Dad will be off tomorrow so hopefully I'll get to have some QT with my sewing machine. :-)

I am working on a dress for me! I've just finished some bird photo holders & a cute, girlie, ruffled apron for me! Which is unusual that it's all for me...usually it's all for everyone else so I'm loving it! ;)
Living in sunny FL I've had beach weather since February! And yes I was actually at the beach in the middle of February and was hot enough that I thought about going into the water...Just thought about it! ;)
I LOVE your blog...you have a great sense of humor that I totally "get"!

My kids aren't on spring break until Easter but this week I've gone back to work part-time after a 3 month maternity leave while my little one gets used to daycare. I'm not getting a whole lot done and still working on getting all of us used to a new schedule but we should have it nailed down by next week.
Working on a quilt for an upcoming wedding present..in September... but I'm easily distracted to starting other projects so I thought I should at least start on the wedding quilt!! And being in Hawaii we always enjoy the sun.

Time has been tight finishing up grad school, but the spring weather has inspired me to do some quick and fun embellishments on a few of my plain shirts. Nothing like a project you can finish and wear in a day! :o) Thanks for the giveaway! Sharon Traywick: sharoncop@gmail.com
I'm finishing up remodeling my house and finishing up my baby sewing project before my baby girl arrives in MAY!
mrsmorgan530@gmail.com
We are plugging along trying to make our house look like our home, kind of like you, finding paint colors we like and stuff. It's fun but it can get costly too!
Signing papers. Lots of papers. But it is all worth it because we just bought our first house! Yay! So now I'm busy planning on how I want to decorate and furnish it.
My hubby and I have been LOVING this wonderful weather! Our way to celebrate is to go hiking during the weekends. And it's inspiring us to keep the house nice and tidy and clean.
I think my next project I'm planning on doing is sewing some curtains for the front room. It'll make the room feel a lot more completed and less empty. I'm excited!

No sun here in Scotland as yet (will it ever?) but I can feel PSring is coming - it's not dark anymore when I leave for work at 6.30 a.m. ... I have a long list of must-do projects for thsi year, and I am so proud of myself that I taught myself how to crochet! I am making a granny square balnket for my baby girl for when she moves from her cot into her big girl bed soon. My current sewing project is a set of three fabric baskets for my dresser, in gray and pale yellow (this is mainly in order to safe my marriage, my husband's patience with all my make up and other essntial stuff spread out over the dresser is wearing thinner an thinner... ;-)
My next project will be ruffle curtains for the kids bedroom.

Spring break in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada is FAAAAAAR less sunny than where you are!!!! Although, I can't complain, the temperatures have gone from -12C to +12C in a matter of days. This week, I am dreaming up the cute jumpers I am going to make for my 3 little girls (5, 3, 6 months) and the pillowcase dresses for summer. Can't wait to get started on those, but while the girls are home for spring break, nothing can be done.
So today, while they nap, I am planning our camping trips for the summer!!!

What a neat magazine. Definitely have to check out B&N this weekend to find it.
I would love love love your book!
i have been sewing bags like a mad thing - while dreaming of more hours in my day and some sunshine. And, the sun is coming!!!
Working. Wishing for spring break. Trying to get the guest/craft room in order. That's about it.
I am working through the very large UFO pile and the list of new projects I seem to keep finding and feel I just HAVE to do. The 60 degree weather we are having here in New Hampshire is making me want to go camping, but it's just a big tease because around here camping doesn't start until May!!!
Thanks for the chance to win! I recently was laid off and now am doing some sewing for a local children's boutique! Presently am finishing quilts that have been sitting awaiting completion for years - feels great!

Spring break started out with big plans to paint and re-arrange kids rooms; instead it's turned into work :/. My husband got a job to get an inherited house ready for flipping so we've been cleaning out 20-years worth of someone else's lives to ready it for new paint, patching, carpet and landscaping. Next week we'll do our own place I hope :)

Thank you for a chance to win one of these lovely magazines.
I FINALLY (after 2 years?) took a deep breath and booted up my sewing machine... finally figured it out and made a tuck pillow for my cross stitching! I've been stitching for 30 years and found the machine to be so scary! :)

I am currently sewing a baptism dress for my daughter, I only have about 3 weeks to go to get it all done, but it's a lot of hand sewing.

Projects and plans? Ahh, how about a gigantic house purge, and putting our house up for sale. Do those things count as special? In between bouts of housecleaning, I'm trying to free motion quilt a big quilt - a less messy activity versus choosing fabrics, cutting and sewing a new project. Thanks for the chance to win. I'd love to own your book. P.S. The Des Moines MQG meets tonight!
Mostly enjoying the sun and dreaming about sewing. I have been thinking about sewing some dresses for my daughter.

I have been working on a baby quilt for a friend and finishing my nine patch quilt from the quilt along two years ago! Better late than never! :)
I've been dreaming of both sewing and sun! I don't get much time to sew, so my days at work are spent daydreaming about being outside with my kids and being home to craft and create. Ah, to be a working mother.
spring is coming ! That means I am doing a lot of stuf in/for the garden. i decided to do an extra effort this year : I will turn my small tiny citygarden a bit more in a paradise ... But in between I'm still knitting/beading/criocheting/sewing and drawing.
Knitting a scarf for my mum, that's the other thing I'm doing...
Weather here is horrible and grey, lots of fog all week. Today I have dine a little bit of sewing and put some photos on various Facebook pages

I plan to start knitting a scarf for a gift for my friend that collects them. I hope she enjoys it.
We are (this) close to finishing our main bathroom remodel. It was a total gut - and we moved 2 walls too! We did all the work ourselves, and it's so much better!
Well, I'm not on spring break, but I have tons of craft projects going on in my head. I'd like to make some pillows and garden stones.
Hope you enjoy your break!
We have been enjoying spring break also in South Florida, lots of pool and beach time, and I have been planning my daughters 1st bday coming up soon!

I would love love love to win this magazine and book, pretty please? ;D I've been dreaming of sewing AND gardening, and I've been working on a lap quilt, as well as a baby quilt. :) Today, I've been outside pulling weeds, getting my string trimmer ready for trimming, and dreaming of blossoms---and fabrics :D
Being that it is spring break, I have been trying to keep kids from killing each other, trying to get my boys bed quilts made and, if I have time, I'd like to make some new potholders. I am also going to try to make a few of those easter eggs and balls that you have on your site. so cute by the way.
I hope it is my lucky day and I get the email from you saying, :you won :)

I've been busy potty training my youngest. With much success, woot woot! Would love to sneak in some sewing, but being diaperless is worth missing out.
Just finished a quilt for a co-worker's daughter who is about to have a bone marrow transplant, and feeling extremely thankful that my kiddo is healthy.
I am currently working on Easter dresses for my two girls. I also have the fabric to make a zig zag quilt calling my name, but we are moving in two weeks so it has to wait!

I'm in western Washington and we are having awful wind and rain. Bleh! So, in between the typical day with a three and half year old and 3 month old I am working on a quilt which is some much needed color and cheerfulness. It's a little sad to look outside and see my tulips poking out of the sloppy mud!
I'm totally with you on the schedule thing too! It makes life so nice and easy for everybody. Have some fun in the sunshine for me.

I wish I was sewing a little bit but we are going through the adoption process for our third child. We are so excited for that child to become part of our family even though he/she may not be born yet. The paper work isn't our favorite but we should be done by this time next week with the whole process. Awesome! Then the real wait begins. I will sew then. darcycbeck @ yahoo dot com
I've been working on improving my knitting skills. New patterns, new projects, and new kinds of yarn.

I just finished my first Swoon block. I know...it took me long enough. Now on to the sashing and borders to make it into a baby quilt for a new niece.

I've been decluttering like a mad women because I'm so tired of the mess. In the afternoons, we've been sitting at the park enjoying our friends. It's kind of a nice combination. Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
I am currently working on a new spring skirt!
I am at work at an offshore oil rig in Norway. I have managed to finish a baby quilt top and done a few dresden plates while offshore though :-D
I'm a teacher and the last quarter of school tends to get kind of crazy. I'm counting down the days until I can sew at my own leisure again. I'm sure I'd find some fun projects to tackle, thanks for the chance to win!
I finished the binding on 2 quilts trying to finish projects. My Mom and sister visited for a few days and we spent them all shopping. The weather is lovely here in central Indiana.

I'm organizing a quilt for a woman in our church struggling with an illness. We're going to sign the blocks, and put encouraging texts throughout it. I can't wait for the fabric to arrive so I can get started!
We've had a lot of sun and I've been sporadically working on a baby quilt and dreaming up a table topper! And in with all of that I've been playing with two of my granddaughters. Lots of fun! Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the magazine and your book.

I am on a committee to organize a quilt show and sale to raise money for a MCC relief project in Zambia. It is my first foray into the organizing side of a show.
Just finished my swoon top about an hr. ago! Yes! Feels great. Thanks!
Hi,
my name is Kasia (Catherine) and I live in Poland. Sorry for my bad English :)))
I like your blog. It's great.
In Poland, we are waiting for spring... and spring comes so slowly :)
But in the sun, which sometimes looks to me, I dream of sewing new spring bags...
Now I'm working on a quilt for a sick little girl and the pillow for kids (birthday gifts).
I greet you from the distant Poland, "somewhere" in Europe :-))

I've been working on finishing a purse I'm making for a friend, and catching up on my projects for the Curves Class I took. Weather has been gorgeous here, too! (Right now I'm actually waiting to take my afternoon walk until it "cools off"..yup, that's Florida for you..)
I am looking forward to having time to make something for me! Maybe tomorrow! I really enjoy your blog
Working on a wall hanging quilt for my parents 60th wedding anniversary and enjoying Spring Break with kids and grand kids.
Glad you are having a good break.

I have been working on granny square blocks in sweetwaters sunkissed fabric! I am so ready for some warm weather here in Seattle and Sunkissed is such a springy line, love it!
I've finally finished the top of my Hexie project. Also finished up some snap pouches. Soon to be made will be a pillow and finally starting on the granny square blocks =D
I'm working on a project using triangles in solids only. So far it was fun, the hard part will be to sew it all together.
I have been soooooooo dreaming about good weather, holidays, summer clothes, watching my children swimming on the river, outdoor activities, you name it!. So, in the absence of all that I have been sewing quite a bit, but I haven't finished any single project!!!!
This month my goal is take make bags and small projects, I've made one purse, a wallet and a kindle cover so far. I think I am doing well!

We have also been on a no-tv planning too so not much sewing done on my part. Hopefully my children will spend tomorrow's afternoon at their grandparents' and I'll get to sew on your houndstooth pattern. I'm loving it but still too far from finishing.

I am working on figuring out my new to me sewing machine. Mine broke and a dear friend gave me one she had in her garage from a neighbor. Lucky me!
Oh I would love to win these! Your book looks amazing. I have started a new quilt for a 33-year-old lady who has macular degeneration and is losing her sight. So my goal is to get it done as soon as I can so she can enjoy the beautiful colors, her favorites, and I plan to quilt it to death so at some point at least she can feel the texture and know someone cares. :)

I would love to win these two gifts. I'd use them to sew together my relationship with my daughter. She has moved home after four years and is getting a divorce. It would provide lots of time to talk and laugh together.
I would so love to win a copy of your book (and the magazine of course:). I have a 2-year-old girl who is in love with flouncy skirts. With warm weather coming, I am thinking of a full wardrobe of skirts to twirl in!

The sun is out today so I took the dogs for a walk in the coulee and thought about hikes I hope we'll be able to do as the weather improves!
I'm in three quilt alongs which are keeping me quite busy. The new magazine looks interesting!
i am in the process of making knitted eggs.... but we just purchased a vintage travel trailer- so once the fabrics arrive- I am in full cushion and curtain sewing! (squeal!)

I've been sewing away on a mini challenge a friend and I are doing... and I have an idea for a colour wheel quilt, and also a pattern for a thread carrier!
I set-up play dates for Wed-Friday, and did a little sewing at the beginning of the week. Today, we did a little water painting too.

I'm enjoying the sun and trying to figure out how to sew on the deck! I have a goal of giving a quilt to everyone in my family for Christmas...so that's what I've been up to!
I've had lots of dreams of time to sew but it's spring break here as well...so it's getting pretty springy in our neck of the woods and I think we might get ice cream tomorrow!
Sewing a quilt top for my class, need to make one daughter a couple skirts, and helping my other daughter move to a new home. Also hoping to squeeze in time to make some of your fabric covered Easter eggs! Thanks for the chance to win.

Well, I've been building my very first raised garden bed. Planned to seed yesterday, but we are expecting a storm this weekend. So, I'm moving indoors and starting on my Swoon blocks.
I have started a baby sized granny square quilt. I just finished cutting the 2.5 inch blocks. No particular baby to give it to right now so hopefully I will keep going.
I recently finished a stuffed toy I made for a friend's baby, and I am always making greeting cards!
Having an off week, and not working on anything this week. Getting over a cold. Maybe next week, will get something done...
I am looking forward to a break from my students this Spring Break!! I am working on finishing up my craft room as well as making skirts for my daughters!!
Still trying to complete curtains. As my husband constantly asks, "when will we have more than just one curtain?" MEN!! :)
