sneak peek & goodbye.

this is just a sneak peek of the first quilt i've completely finished for my new collection, "Homebodies" (which previously had a tentative different name). i have four more quilt tops awaiting topstitching and binding, one more sitting beside the machine to get pieced together, and four more little bundles of fabric dying to be cut. so, i have my work cut out for me. my goal is to have the collection up on etsy by the end of february, thus making it my winter/spring '09 collection. i am really excited to get through this pile of work, and i believe it really is my best yet! all will include interesting top stitching (this quilt pictured has zig zag stitching), as well as hand sewn binding.

totally unrelated, i said goodbye to a dear old friend of almost ten years last week. it was bittersweet, and slightly ridiculous ;) i will miss him.

CSI.

to those of you who are new to reading my blogs, let me just let you in on a little something that is not so secret in my life: i love CSI. i have watched it for nine years religiously, the original only. sometimes i catch Miami or NY, but Las Vegas will always be my baby. awww...
last season we said goodbye to my favorite character, Sara. this season we will be saying goodbye to two characters, one of whom is my other favorite:

my love for Grissom and Sara is something i've always been open about ;) its just how it is. i was sad to see her go, but i will be even more sad to see him go because it will most likely result in me no longer watching. i hate to admit it, but after nine years i'm stuck in my ways, and without Grissom there is no CSI for me.
you should, however, expect random CSI posts between now and then. and don't be surprised if i ramble on and on or post youtube videos now and then. it will happen. oh yes.
