Just the Way It Is

Yesterday I asked my teenage son to help me with a photo shoot of my Moroccan Lullaby 2 quilts.   I should have known from the get go.   Why is it that teenage boys just can't help but be jokers.   I guess that is just the way it is.  This is how half of my pictures turned out.  He was super good at just jumping into the screen just as I was about to snap a shot.  

Or even better, the surprise peek a boo.  I would get the picture lined up just perfect, go to snap it and wham, a head pops up.   He had impeccable timing.   You know those moments when you are trying to be serious but you can't stop from busting up with laughter.   Glad he keeps it real :)    And speaking of real . . . the Photo Shoot was the last thing on my list to release this new pattern.   So tomorrow, 2 New Happy Quilting Patterns will be released, yippee!!!!  

And if all that laughter didn't make my day, I came home to find a package from Fat Quarter Shop waiting on my doorstop, and we all know, it is the best day when fabric shop packages arrive!!!!   I had ordered some thread snips.   Again, is it just the way it is that thread snips seem to go missing.  I had 6 pair last year, and suddenly I was down to one.   And I know that as soon as I buy some, the others will turn up, but I don't need a whole lot of excuse to shop for quilting goodness ;)    

And when I saw the Thimble Blossoms puzzle was on the Flash Sale the other day I knew it was the perfect day to order thread snips.  And then I had a coupon from the Anniversary Sew Sampler box for Layer Cakes . . . so two of those wandered into my cart as well ;)    But to my credit . . . I have been saying for years that I am going to make a Batik Quilt and I thought a Cake Mix and a Grunge Layer Cake combined with this gorgeous Confections Batiks Layer Cake from Kate Spain would get me to finally cross it off my list.   And the Folktale Layer Cake, well, it is just to pretty to pass up.

So ya, please tell me that is Just the Way it is, right!!!  You can't just order two pair of thread snips. . . you might as well throw some quilting goodness in the cart until you get free shipping, tee hee hee.   Raise your hand if your with me ;)  

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day and I can't wait for tomorrow to release 2 New Happy Quilting Patterns.  It's going to be so fun!!!
