It really is silly, but there are some fabric prints that move to tears, or nearly. So maybe, if I write it down...does this count as writing?... I will stop crying over fabric.

Kaleidoscope
I love this pattern called Kaleidoscopic Kites. I've seen it other places, but here is the actual pattern. I think I'll have to try a small version.

Candy striped
Dipped in Chocolate by Crazy Old Ladies with Winter from Moda 2009 and some Fruitcake stripping for the back. I'd rather call it candy striped.
I made this quilt top in an effort to get through the end of a challenging fifth pregnancy. I hated working with the colors from Winter. I did not love it. I pieced the center and put it away. My baby was born and a few months later, I pulled it out to finish it for Christmas. I gave it to my brother and his new wife who live so far away. He lightly gushed to my mom about it months later, and I recently saw a photo from their home and there folded on a rocker was my quilt. I love how it turned out. It is filled with flaws, but I nearly cry every time I see it. It's stitches are filled with difficulty and love. Pregnancy, a baby, and a brother. Life is difficult. I hated the fabric, but love the result. It is an allegory of sorts, I suppose.

What I created in 2010 (and a little of 2011)
A Christmas setting. The fireplace is card board painted with tempura paint and a sponge. The fire is scraps of paper.
Two nightgowns, to the floor, make my girls look like angels. Flannel backed Satin.
One birthday dress, dancewear lined with a thick polyester purple.
Jello birthday cake with marshmallows, requested by 7 year old.
I make great cakes when I try. These were just pretty. The white was layered with caramel and had pistachio pudding and white chocolate chips mixed into the batter. The chocolate had MORE caramel in the center and I think I added chocolate chips too. The white was more popular.
Two fairy costumes, sans wings, made during the summer before the baby was born. Both are book characters, Holly the Christmas Fairy and Willow the Tree Fairy. My girls hand me books and from the drawings, we make costumes.
