Pinkalicious Weekend

Col. Sew Fab went on a snowboarding "Mancation" in Utah last week and I decided he shouldn't be the only one having tons of fun!  So, I decided to work a half day on Friday, start the weekend early and have my own little mini-Staycation - long weekend - craftathon.  And it was a heavenly, pinkalicious, girly, totally indulgent, carefree weekend!

I did a bunch of hand quilting on Hooterville.....

And I pulled out an old quilt top that I started FOUR YEARS ago using Little Lady fabric by Lakehouse Dry Goods and gave it some much needed attention.  My memory kept telling me that the quilt still needed a lot of work but much to my surprise all of the piecing was done....it just needed some borders.  I guess you forget a lot of things when you ignore a project for a few years.  And now I think it's just begging to be hand tied, don't you?

I also did some prep work on the Vintage Valentine quilt.  The one thing I'm really starting to understand about this quilt is that there is no rushing it.  Not that I ever really rush making a quilt.  I take my sweet time making quilts and they're antiques by the time I finish them.  But this quilt has so many pieces.....and there are so many steps to doing freezer paper applique....it's going to be a slow, leisurely, relaxed process requiring just a bit of patience.....

And I did tons of work on the dollhouse bakery.  This is the view through a window opening.  And yes, my dollhouse bakery has crown moulding and hardwood floors.....

And this is the exterior of my cotton candy pink bakery......

And now I need some help!  What should I do with the roof of the bay window that I'm holding up in the picture?  Paint pink and white stripes on it kind of like a striped awning.  Paint it a different color like a darker pink or brown?  Do some sort of copper roof?  Shingles?  What???

And finally.....I did lots of online shopping!  I bought all sorts of things for the dollhouse winery/boutique and I finally got up my courage and bought an inkjet printer that will print fabric and photos!  How fun will that be???!!!

Hope you had a great weekend too!  Tell me all about it!

Hugs,
Jenny
