Teacher Appreciation Week {Day 4)

This is the last post for Teacher Appreciation Week!  Today I sent the finished quilts...hoping they love them :o)  This one is for Dayna's teacher.  I used a Recess charm pack (or 2, can't remember).  

This is Emma's teacher's quilt.  She is having a little boy in August, so I thought the spaceships was a great theme for this one!

Hope yall had a great week!  I know I will be glad when this week's done and in the books :o)

Teacher Appreciation Week {Day 3}

Okay, I'm a bit late in getting this posted.  This week has been a little nuts. I managed to get both quilts finished TODAY, as in before midnight, YIPPEE!!!  I also decided to open up my etsy shop again :o)  I've had so many ideas for new items and I want to start making other items to sell in my shop as well.  One of the things I am planning to make for my shop are these ruffled pouches.  Every time I give one as a gift, the recipient just loves them.  So for day 3 of Teacher Appreciation Week, I made each teacher a pouch.  They can be used for so many things...I have one for makeup, one just for my lipsticks/glosses, one for my sewing feet, one for first aid stuff I keep in my purse (I use this one all. the. time. because with my girlies, I can never be without neosporin and bandaids)

Tomorrow I am getting pics of the finished quilts....I am just loving the recess zig zag quilt, almost hate to give it away!!  I'll have to see if I can get a hold of another charm pack somewhere :o)

Teacher Appreciation {Day 2}

Today was Day 2 of Teacher Appreciation Week.  Today's gift was a potted plant, pansies, for each teacher.

I made the little sign using photoshop elements and then used my cricut to make the blue scalloped frame.  The gingham stick is actually a pencil!  It just matched so perfectly :o)

I'm a little out-of-whack this week....things at work have been rough.  Several of my dear friends were laid off today and it was a sad day.  I didn't get my Fit Tuesday post up last night, so it will just have to wait until next week....thanks for understanding!!

Teacher Appreciation Week {Day 1}

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and I am so excited to share all the goodies I have planned for each day!!  I am so very thankful for the teachers who have taught and influenced my girlies.  As a former teacher, I understand the blood, sweat, and tears that go into each school year.  Saying "Thank You" is just not enough!

I saw this great idea on the eighteen25 blog...full of great free printables!  Anyway, the free printable is here.  I love the way they turned out!

Sneak Peek

I have been sick as a dog this week...I'm so over it!  Today, the hubs was a featured artist at the local comic book shop for Free Comic Book Day.  He is just awesome, I hate that I couldn't be there!  I was at home, sleeping and trying to not feel like garbage.  About 2 p.m., I decided I needed to get some soup and try to get some stuff done!

This is just a sneak peek of one quilt I am working on.  Teacher Appreciation Week is this week and guess who didn't get everything finished in time....yeeeppp, yours truly.  I managed to get 2 quilts basted today and hope I have time to get them done before Friday.  I may not sleep before then, but that's okay!  This one is for Dayna's teacher.  It's a zigzag quilt using the Recess line from Moda.
