sometimes

its just nice to take some time off, spend it in sweats, and let things slide.
if you'll excuse me that's what i'm planning for the rest of the week.
well with some sewing here and there.
but nothing big.
we'll talk soon.

ruffle pillow on Good things Utah recap

i know i said monday. but i got a few minutes in between Zumba dancing with my family, church, and setting up for the super bowl. so for all you out of state-ers that wanted to see my 5 minutes of... er...fame. here's the show's link.




all i have to say is that i am really more livelier/feistier/colorful, and more boisterous (as some of you thought i would be, seriously just ask my kids and my husband, and well anyone that has to deal with me on a regular basis) when i am not having three camera crew guys staring at me with big huge cameras. i did say to the "ladies" after it was all said and done: "i'm so happy i didn't crap my pants." they seem to think i was kidding and laughed. i really actually am happy that i didn't crap my pants, or vomit or really actually feel that much fear when i got there. at one point i did start freaking out that i wasn't freaking out. but i got over it pretty quick.

although i do have to say that i think it's HILARIOUS that my face went from totally smiling to a complete look of terror of "oh my gosh what in the H*ll am i doing here....wait focus focus...im making something...okay full swing ahead lets make this thing." facial expression in the first few minutes of my thing. i think my husband said that my middle noise maker said something to the effect of "whoa, mom just lost all her smile. is she okay?"

another really fun and exciting thing... and with super bowl being just around the corner...the COMMERCIALS are all a buzzing right?



so when i first arrived, there were three guys already there in the "green room" (that had green sofas and nothing else green i'd like to add.) when i got there... i kept staring at them like i knew i knew them but didn't know from where...and i asked who they were and one of them answered "oh we're nobody's" and i was like haha good cause i am too. and then it clicked and i turned around and pointed my finger at them and was like "YOU!!!!!! OH MY GOSH. NO. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE...YOU, YOU SUCK HIS FINGER AND HE RIPS YOUR PANTS OFF!!!" one of the guys answered "you know a simple 'you guys made the doritos commercial would of sufficed.'" kidding i think he said something like "yeah we're those guys." check out their commercial here. along with all the other finalists. should be funny to see if the guys i yelled at in the green room win the super bowl spot. if they do win, i'll be kicking myself for not taking a picture with them! if they don't win...uh they are as funny in person as they are in the commercial and it would of still been fun to of gotten a picture with them.
i did though get a shot of the GTU ladies and all my awesome groupies that drove 3 hours to be there with me.

and i got to meet in real life kari of UCREATE. she's so nice and sweet! thanks to all of you that came to support me!
you guys are awesome i'm so lucky to call you friends! and no i wasn't kidding that i would start signing autographs on any part of your body with a permanent pen. just dare me.
okay well that's all for me.
have a smashing weekend.
oh and happy super bowl!
we'll talk soon.

okay okay sorry! i'll get the link up when i get a little bit more time! after we did the segment it's been a whirl wind of shopping and eating with great friends and catching up, i need to pay attention to my poor neglected family for a little bit and i'll talk more about EVERYTHING on monday! thanks for the love, and yes, i know, i was a little more timid than my normal self. (my friends were making fun of me afterwords)
but i promise to tell you about the Doritos guys, and my freaking out about NOT freaking out...and well, yeah, we'll talk.
so have a great weekend. i'm going to bed it's waaaay past my bedtime, and i'll try to get my the link up on my facebook page soon, and then i'll get it here on monday for sure! thanks you guys. really thank you.

later today on good things utah

yes i will be doing the ruffle pillow thanks to your votes and the producer's little push of "i say the ruffle pillow."
and so that is what i will be showing you how to make on channel 4's Good things Utah. i'll post a link to the video of me being a total dork on tv later on when i get a chance.
wish me luck.

me x's 3 in a magazine

yay yay YAY! i finally get to tell you about these quilts and pillow... you can find the pillow on the bottom right hand corner of the cover of this spring 2011 magazine of Quilts and More.

this little bit of info has been killing me not to spill seeing that i made the little sprout quilt (pg.30) and the three flower pillow a year ago...


but my diamond in the ruff (or argyle) quilt (pg. 86) was made and turned in, get this, a year ago last november. it's diamonds and ruffles to make the argyle. it's made of kate spain's verna line, and i love it so, i can't wait to get it back so i can take some more great pictures of it. yes, killing me i tell you! but i'm so happy and proud to let you know that you can now see (pattern included) in this springs magazine due out on Feb 8th.
and if you want to make the sprout quilt with the fabrics i used for the magazine,(bella solids and hunky dory by moda fabrics) the fat quarter shop is carrying the quilt kit. and it's awesomely priced!
*sigh of relief* i don't have to hold that info in anymore. okay that's all the spilling of things i've been keeping from you that i'll do...at least for a little while. >;p
okay back to sewing for my big day.
we'll talk soon.
