Roller Derby Fabric!

I apologize for the delay in posts, but I have been super busy this past week (as I'm sure you all have been as well!) I finally got off my lazy butt and designed some more fabrics on Spoonflower.com (as I have been meaning to do for quite awhile now). This one is for their current Roller Derby fabric contest, there are lots of great designs so feel free to go here and cast your votes for your favorites (even if it doesn't happen to be my design. I got some of this one in the mail last week and it looks pretty good. I have some swatches of different color combos, that I may or may not like better than this one in the mail so I hope to see them soon. I also did some coffee fabrics for next week's contest. They have lots of great design contests coming up, so I am sure you will see more fabrics from me soon, and feel free to join in the fun and design some of your own!

I will also be back to posting more regularly (I hope) in the next couple of weeks as I have many projects nearing completion. As long as I can get my photos taken and uploaded in a timely fashion the next couple weeks are just overflowing with new goodies, and I got a couple books in the mail this week that I am dying to look through and share with you!

Have any of you read or seen any great books lately, crafty or otherwise?

Roller Derby Pillow-- Contest Winner

I just received the colors for Daniel's winning roller derby pillowcase yesterday and thought you all might like to see the finished product (Daniel, it will be arriving in the next couple of days!). I hope you all like it, and keep checking back for future contests and giveaways!

Roller Derby Pinup Pillows

I have been excited about this blog post for a whole week! Not only is today Valentine's Day, it is the birthday of a friend of mine. She happens to love Roller Derby, and just moved into a new place so I thought a nice Derby themed Birthday/Housewarming present was in order. I'm very excited with the results. I Google image searched for Roller Derby pinup girls and found a calendar full of them to use as a guide for my cutouts.

I also knew I wanted some sort of Damask type pattern as the background and found this one. It's a little funky with some bright pink thrown in.
I foresee myself making many many more of these. It was a fun project and I totally love them!
