I wanted to introduce you to Edie, my moose!
I was at Ikea getting some of those random things for my booth, and Edie and 6 of her little friends just jumped into my shopping cart!
There was nothing I could do. They had to come home with me. I named her Edie -- pronounced E.D. not Eddy -- because I wanted to name my last three girls that, but when they got here, they wanted other names. Now that I have named something Edie, my life is complete! Okay, not quite, but I am pleased.
My friend Machelle made the cute pillow that Edie is sitting on. She had two extra blocks from the Zip a Dee Do Dah quilt she made for my book that you can see hanging behind Edie. Being the resourceful person that she is, she made them into pillows.
I thought that was a fun idea, so I did the same thing with three other quilts. So in my booth were 4 pillows made from blocks of some of the quilts in my new book, Simply Charming Modern. I was going to post pictures, but I don't have any except as part of my booth. I will take some pictures so you can see them!
Did you see the blue fox/wolf looking creature that was with Edie at Ikea? He was wearing cute socks too. That one came home with me last time I went :) Sometimes they just decide you are their new family and there is nothing you can do about it.... and really, who can say no to those cute faces :)
ReplyDeleteThat's funny that it happened to you too!
