Busy Bee

Though I haven't been writing, I HAVE been quilting!
Man, oh man, have I been quilting!

The body is DONE! (finally)


I also finished the final panel of hair, and sketched some McTavishing to get that muscle memory!

Muscle memory, you know, is like a quilters way of working out.



I've been working a lot on my super secret project, and unfortunately I cannot post pictures here! I promise you will see the end result VERY  soon!!! Unlike all my other promises I've made to all my loyal readers... (I'm looking at you Mom, Nonnie, Suravi, and Jahayma!)... this one will not be empty! 

I have some very exciting news as well. I got my first order for a full size quilt! Holy moly!  It happened totally by chance. A woman in my neighborhood knew I was a quilter so she approached me and asked if I can quilt a top that she's had laying around for 28 years... 28 years! More on that to come!

Last week I mentioned my anxiety about moving... man, what a difference a week makes! I am beyond the anxiety phase and on to the excitement phase! Sure, change is scary (even though we're moving less than 2 miles away... seriously), but oh so very exciting! I cannot wait to decorate it how I want, and walk around in my underwear if I want, etc., etc.! So brace yourselves for some interior design posts as well as a few re-upholstery posts to come! 

Work has also been crazy busy, in a very good way! Last week I worked 58 hours, hence the lack of a post! 


Life is sweet! I can't wait to share with you everything our future holds!!!!

Quilt on,
Hoppi

    1. Thanks, Jahayma! I hope to have the full quilt finished by June, but I just got a ton of orders so I don't know if that's possible!!!
