I'm in the process of making a sewing machine cover for my {Urban} Home Goods Swap partner. Thought you might enjoy some of the eye candy that inspired me.

Pass the Plates, Please
I'm working on another dresden plate tablerunner, this time based on a pattern from Moda's Bake Shop.
Loving the Denyse Schmidt fabric.
Going was slow for a while. Picked myself up by the bootstraps this week and forced an early wake-up a couple of days to make progress. Very happy I did. It finally feels like it is coming together.
I plan to applique the plates tonight while watching the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance - my summer guilty pleasure! :-)

This weekend, I took my daughter to American Girl in Chicago. It got me thinking that surly there are some great baby-doll patterns out there. While we had a blast buying things at the store and always enjoy looking through the catalog, here are some things I'm considering making.
