Back Online & Doing Fine!

I am back online and settling in nicely in our new home. My sewing room is not completely together, but my sewing machine and cutting board are on the table ready to be used again. :-) Hopefully I will be able to show you a picture of the doll quilt I am working on for DQS5 by this weekend. Look what I got in the mail just before the move. Isn't that a cute little picture? I purchased it from Du Buh Du Designs to help out with the Nielson's Recovery Fund. If you want to purchase one go here. One of these days I am going to buy one of Christine's dolls. They are so lovely! She has ornaments in the works right now. I think I will shoot for one of those next. :-) Talk to you all later.

Goodies In The Mail!

Look what I got in the mail from Indonesia. It is a doll quilt from Lin at sew-do-i for DQS5. I just love the colors. Along with the quilt she sent a box of Pocky. They are so yummy! Thank you Lin! :-) I am still working on my DQS5 quilt along with packing for the move on Saturday. Will post pictures of my doll quilt as soon as I can. I won't have a "Fabulous Find Friday" post today. Sorry :-(. Although I think this quilt is really fabulous so maybe this can be my fabulous item. LOL! Signing off until I get my Internet all hooked up again.

Lisa Michelle Design Web Store Closing & New House

Hello everyone! I just wanted to say that I have closed my web store LisaMichelleDesign.com. I originally started my little website to have something else to do besides being a stay at home mom. Over the summer I started working 3 days a week at our shop, then 4 days, and sometime next year will be going up to 5 days. I was finding it hard to keep my web store stocked and keep up with all the work of being a mom and home maker. I think spending more time with my children is more important. I am still going to sell my tooth fairy pillows and other items but will be doing it through etsy. This way I will not feel pressured to keep a store stocked. I will be posting when I have new items listed. Thank you to all my customers for your business, you have been wonderful.

We have bought another house so I am in the middle of packing. We move in November 15th. I am so excited! After selling our house last fall and living in an apartment for a year it is a welcome change. We thought we would be in an apartment for a couple of months at the most while we decided where we were going to move and a year later here we are just moving out at last!!!

If you don't hear from me for a while you will know why. :-)

Doll Quilt Swap 5 Sneak Peek 1

This is a peak of some of the fabrics I am going to use in the doll quilt. What do you think? I really like them! :-)

Fabulous Find Friday

I am starting something new and it's called "Fabulous Find Friday". One day a few weeks ago the idea and title just popped into my head. I will do my best to post something every week. If I don't please forgive me, my life has gotten a bit busier then it has been. I am sure you are wondering what exactly is "Fabulous Find Friday", well, I will tell you. Every Friday or close to it, I will post a picture of an item I have found that I thought was "Fabulous" whether it be old or new. For the first post I wanted to show you a cute little kitten I found at a second hand store for 10 cents. She has green jewel eyes and is made in Japan. When I found this little kitten her ear was not broken. Unfortunately it broke on my way to the counter to pay for it. Oh well, for 10 cents you can't beat it. LOL! I figure I can hide the broken ear with a flower or something. What I have in mind to do with the kitten is make a pin cushion. When I get around to making it I will post a picture.

More Swaps!

***Update Oct 25th***

----------------------------------------------

I have joined two swaps. I just can't help myself! LOL! I enjoyed participating in Doll Quilt Swap 4 so much that I signed up for round 5 today. The swap has increased from 90 to 150 people. Once 150 people sign up the swap will be closed. There is still room so if you want to join in hop on over here and sign up.

I have also joined Club Little House. I am so thrilled! You have no idea how thrilled!!! I have been wanting to get in on this one for a while now. It is hosted by the oh so talented Amy at Inspire Co. Sign up for the CLH swap is now closed.

Check back to see sneak peaks of what I am making for these swaps. :-)

Doll Quilt Swap 4 Reveal

Finally a picture of the Quilt that I sent out to my swap partner the end of August. What do you think? I hope she likes it. :-) The name of the quilt is "B is for Butterflies", my own design. Unfortunately I did not think to take a picture of the tag on the back before I sent it out. The off white center of the quilt is hand quilted and the rest of the quilt is machine quilted.

I am the lucky recipient of this very cute fish quilt named "Aqua Fishy". Isn't it just adorable! I love the colors! :-) Thanks Adrienne for a positively lovely quilt. You did a great job! :-) Along with this quilt Adrienne sent me some fabric, one of them being a fabric that I have been wanting for a long time. Yea!!! :-)

I enjoyed participating in this swap so much I can't wait for Doll Quilt Swap 5!
