Last night I finished pieceing the last block of the wedding quilt (YAY!  No more two inch sqares to piece!) and tonight I&#8217;m hoping to finish putting the last six blocks on the rest of the top.  All I&#8217;ll need is a bit of a border (I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;ll look strange, and will possibly be too small without one) and then I get to quilt!  So very, very, very exciting!<br \/>\nAnother projects that I started and actually finished this weekend were shrinky dink pins.<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gallery.avenueb.org\/albums\/album29\/aar.sized.jpg\" width=300 alt=\"Shrinky Dink Pins\"\/><\/center><br \/>\nAgain (like many good ideas these days) the pins were inspired by the ones done at <a href=\"http:\/\/weewonderfuls.typepad.com\/wee_wonderfuls\/2005\/03\/shrinky_dink_pi.html\">Wee Wonderfuls<\/a>.  So many cool things ideas come from there.  All I did was make crappy little drawings on the shrinky dinks (I <i>totally<\/i> love that stuff now&#8211;I&#8217;ve never played with it before and now I&#8217;m hooked!) and then I stuck a pin through it before I put them in the toaster oven.  If nothing else really, the look so cool in a pincushion!<br \/>\nIn the world of blogs that are not my own, I did want to mention that everyone should go check out Angry Chicken.  Amy Karol is a textile artist has the coolest things on her blog.  Today&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/angrychicken.typepad.com\/angry_chicken\/2005\/03\/aint_just_maple.html\">post<\/a> featured an amazing log cabin quilt that her mother made.  The quilting on it is so unique&#8211;it makes it look very different from any other log cabin quilt that I&#8217;ve seen, which in my opinion, is a good thing.<br \/>\nFinally, I have to post a picture of the cake my friend Laura made for our crafty girls group birthday party last week.<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gallery.avenueb.org\/albums\/album39\/aab.sized.jpg\" width=300 alt=\"Knitting Cake\"\/><\/center><br \/>\nHere&#8217;s Alice and Allison posing with their knitting cake&#8211;yummy and crafty!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite having a very busy week last week, I think I can officially say that I&#8217;ve caught up.
