A few weeks ago I went or tried to go to our website and it was closed, because we hosted via Mobile Me. I already own the .com so will be transferring everything over this week. Please be patient, my computer skills are limited and I hope I do everything correctly. <br />
<br />
The plan is to have Bumblebeeandsophie.com be everything, the blog the website. I hope it works!!<br />

Sarah had picked out the color scheme and we went shopping. <br />
<br />
When we went to Caroga Lake this year Sophia was sleeping in a "big girl" bed so Sarah brought her quilt. I took a few pictures of the quilt and Sophia. <br />

My Mom sewed and so did my Grandmother. I took Home Ec. all through Jr. and Sr. high. I loved it. Even contemplated becoming a Home Ec. teacher, would be out of a job for sure these days. <br />
<br />
I had sewed some clothes, for myself, which were always a failure... and I sewed for my children, a little.<br />
<br />
We are going through the house prepping for a yard sale. We have so much stuff...20 years in this house.<br />
<br />
I found these. My first attempts at quilting. <br />

We had a going away party on Sunday afternoon. As a going away gift a few of us from our church, put together a quilt for them. Sue Foster, had the idea to begin with, Sue owns a long-arm quilting business. We needed to make it modern, Alissa is not a "country" lover. We found the pattern <a href="http://youhadmeatbonjourblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/tutorial-modern-chevron-baby-quilt-crib.html">Modern Chevron Baby Quilt</a>, from You Had Me at Bonjour's blog. It is a great pattern, easy to follow. <br />

<br />
I had found a group of fabrics all in neutrals at <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/jessica_gonacha_swift/preeti">Hawthorne Threads</a>. The collection is called Preeti, by Jessica Gonacha Swift, the nude palette. We chose four Kona Cottons in nude colors to match for the background.<br />

<br />
We had people in the church sign a solid square, which we placed around the top.<br />
<br />
For the back I wanted to have some bold bright fabrics. I found a this Kona Quiltcon fat quarter pack at the <a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/store/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?sid=11297252038461129&Store_id=499&page_id=23&Item_ID=72454&Parent_Ids=">Fat Quarter Shop</a>, choosing one blue and one green to make the pattern.<br />

<br />
The design from the back was from a pin that I found on Pintrest. I wish I could credit the original, but have looked and can't find the original creator. Really a simple design, and easy to do.<br />
<br />

Sue quilted it in straight lines about 1/2 inch apart, but stopping at the signature blocks. This created a really cool pattern on the back. <br />

<br />
There were a few signature blocks that did not come in time to put them in the top, so I incorporated them into the label.<br />
<br />
<br />
They loved the quilt!<br />

I have long admired many quilting blogs and am trying my hand at some "modern" patchwork.<br />
<br />
Bumblebee and Sophie is still going, although it seems at a standstill, so I am not making too many children's clothes at the moment. I will attend a couple of craft fairs in the late fall, leading up to Christmas, and will be making some more dresses then. So right now I am playing!!<br />

I began by sewing a few pieces together, cutting so edges were even and I could add more. then surrounded the patched piece with white Kona cotton. I am falling in love with solids, slowly. They have always seemed so plain, but, when you add the quilting lines it suddenly has dimension and texture. Rather a fun exercise.<br />

I got all the way to the binding...which is where the problems began. I did not want to hand sew the binding. I was trying to be smart and sew the binding on the back bring it around front and sew down with the machine. Reading some tutorials I thought I would do a half (1/2) inch seam, which meant there was not really enough binding to bring around to the front. Well, my<strike> bright</strike> idea was to cut off a quarter of an inch and then there would be more to bring around...HELLO WHERE IS YOUR BRAIN???? This meant that I also cut the corners, rendering them useless... <br />

My inclination at that point was to throw the whole thing away. But, after I calmed down I decided to take the binding off and start over. This time I read carefully <a href="http://www.redpepperquilts.com/2009/11/binding-tutorial.html">this tutorial on Red Pepper Quilts</a>. Luckily I had enough of the scraps to make a binding, this time using a quarter inch seam and sewing onto the front and then sewing with the machine. It WORKED!!!!<br />
<br />
The bits of binding I had left from what I had removed I sewed together with some added bits and I have another small quilt, or mug rug.<br />

Despite the issues it was a fun exercise. I think I will list these in my Etsy Shop if you are interested.<br />
<br />
Have a whole dryer full of fabric to fold. Won't be ironing today...93 degrees. Nice in my bedroom with the AC on!!!! I suppose I could bring in the ironing board...hmmm<br />

We have traveled so much since the end of April, I repainted the guest bathroom, am training for a Triathlon, taking care of a house, cooking...you know the list...<br />
<br />
Progress is being made in the bathroom. Going from this: the blue and green picked, years ago, by a middle-school aged daughter who shall remain nameless...<br />

The color is a light gray that looks gray on some walls, and pinkish gray on the other walls...That is the way of paint and light I guess.<br />

<br />
I am limping along here on the business side, with an always increasing To Do List and finding my way in the computer end of the business.... I will just keep plugging along.<br />
<br />
On the sewing side, I have been busy. I had some dresses that I cut out last summer and never sewed. They were quick and I think they turned out very cute!!<br />

The fabric is from the Parson Gray collection Curious Nature. I love the more masculine prints, great for a boy with out being too cutesie. <br />
<br />
The pattern is from <a href="http://www.favoritethings.net/favorite/patterns/handbags/mama_mia">Favorite Things Sewing, The Mama Mia Diaper Bag</a>, a fairly easy pattern to use. I might change some things if I make it again. <br />
<br />
I have made some other items for the Bazaar I will share these later in the week.<br />
<br />
Have a great week.<br />

My life has had some ups and downs this last weekend. The good - Caleb Jonathan was born on the 15th of April. Way over in Singapore. His mommy had a "marathon"labor, 26 hours, she is a marathon runner so she likes the number 26. Grandchild #3 and #4 is on the way.<br />

Do you remember playing the game Concentration? The Match Game? We used to play it with Playing cards. <a href="http://www.thecottagehome.blogspot.com/2012/02/i-spy-fabric-matching-game-tutorial.html">The Cottage Mama</a> made a set a few months back, she calls it "I Spy". I made a set for Sophia, now Rachel wants a set for her class at the Montessori School where she teaches. They were fun to make, thanks to my Winding Ways quilt group, who helped me sew them last week.</div>

In the beginning my daughter and then business partner was doing most of the posts. This freed me up to do most of the sewing. But my daughter is now concentrating on Sophia and #2 who will come in September. That leaves me to do the posting and the sewing.<br />

When I look around at all the blogs I have begun to follow I am amazed that most are written by young stay at home moms. To be honest I don't know how they do it. I am old enough to be their Mother, I have no kids at home, (I do babysit, three mornings a week), I am NOT scrapbooking any more, so maybe I don't have the energy...but no, I don't think it is energy. I am competing in two maybe three Triathlons this summer<a href="http://trigrandmatry.wordpress.com/2012/03/27/it-got-cold-again/"> (TriGrandmatry)</a> ...I have energy. I have decided it comes down to priorities (MINE). Please don't read that I think their priorities are wrong!!!!!! MINE are...<br />
<br />
So I have been asking myself some questions...<br />
<br />
What are my priorities?? What am I trying to accomplish? What really matters to me?<br />
<br />
These are my priorities, this is my list.<br />
<br />
1. My relationship with Jesus, worshiping Him!<br />
The more I spend time reading my Bible, the more I find my worth in HIM not in what I do. I am trying to accomplish peace and joy in my life, which brings security.<br />
<br />
2. My relationship with my husband of 32 years!<br />
It really matters to me that I get to spend time with this wonderful man!!! A good marriage takes TIME, we no longer have kids at home and I am excited about cultivating friendship with my husband, so evenings are for the most part together. Sometimes he reads in my sewing room so I can sew :-)).<br />
<br />
3. My relationships with my children and their families<br />
My children are all married, I have two granddaughters and two on the way!! And they live close, so I have the privilege of seeing them often!!!<br />
<br />
4. Taking care of the home we have and feeding my husband and whoever stops by for a meal...<br />
<br />
5. Being a part of a church family, fellowship with friends!<br />
<br />
6. Taking care of me...training for the Triathlons, and really life...I plan to live a long one God willing!!<br />
<br />
7. My small business, Bumblebee and Sophie<br />
<br />
8. Blogs, both of them<br />
<br />
I will continue to blog, showing what I am making, what is going into my shop and life in general. I will not be linking anymore, while it has brought traffic to my blog, not many comments come and really no traffic or sales in my shop.<br />
<br />
I hope you will still follow along and visit and comment!<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of a messenger bag I made. I used the <a href="http://mmmcrafts.blogspot.com/2009/06/basic-messenger-bag.html">Basic Messenger Bag</a> from MMMCrafts. This is a great pattern, with excellent directions! A little bit of fun on the flap!!<br />
It is available in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/96312810/messenger-bag">Etsy Shop</a>.<br />

One of the things I wanted to do when I quit work was to make things for my girls. I made them all Valentines gifts, see those <a href="http://bumblebee-and-sophie.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentine-reveal.html">here</a>. This past few weeks have been spent making dresses for my Granddaughters. <br />
<br />
I originally was going to make dresses from the same pattern, but, Cora is so petite that was not going to work. I chose the<a href="http://oliverands.com/paper/OLV-OS016IC.html"> Oliver and S, Ice Cream Social Dress</a> for Sophia and a Simplicity pattern (2668) for Cora. <br />

The original fabric I purchased a while ago did nothing for me so I used some that I more recently purchased!<br />
<br />
Here is the lovely Sophia modeling her new dress. "Put on" was her response when she saw it and then she did not want to take it off!<br />

<br />
The pattern called for a zipper...I really don't like zippers, especially on children's clothing. So I made a small placket and will sew a button and some elastic (using a hair elastic) for a loop.<br />
<br />
The fabric is from Pillow and Maxfield, the Oh La La collection!<br />
<br />
Working on other things too, but already this week seems overwhelming, hit the ground running after 3 days away...yikes.<br />
Have a great week.<br />

If you are following you know that I am trying to<a href="http://bumblebee-and-sophie.blogspot.com/2012/01/organize-and-simplify.html"> Organize and Simplify</a> our home. We will downsize someday and right now our house is filled with stuff that we don't use or need anymore. I have been inspired by Tsh Oxenreider's book <a href="http://simplemom.net/books/">Organized Simplicity</a> and Jules over at <a href="http://pancakesandfrenchfries.com/category/home/">Pancakes and Frenchfries</a> her William Morris Project.

<br />
Last week I attacked my sewing room, a bit scary because this is my favorite stuff! I love fabric and all things sewing!! Would I really get rid of things, especially fabric that I would never use. I used these questions to help me especially with the fabric. <br />
1. Do I still like this fabric?<br />
No- get rid of it<br />
Yes - answer next questions<br />
<br />
2. Would I use it in a project? <br />
No- get rid of it<br />
Yes- answer next question<br />
<br />
3. Do I have time to make said project?<br />
No - get rid of it<br />
Yes - answer next question<br />
<br />
4. Does the project fit with my current priorities?<br />
No - get rid of it<br />
Yes - Keep it and make sure it is not hanging around next time I purge!!<br />
<br />
I did end up getting rid of a couple of bags of fabric that I would not use, I took them to my quilt group and they took some, the rest went to Goodwill.<br />
<br />
Here are the pictures: I tried to figure out how to put them side-by-side, but no luck...so lots of pictures<br />

I acutally finished today!! YEAH!! But before I share the room, I will share a couple of quilts I un-earthed, two are yet to be finished!! And one I would love to give away to someone who wants to give it a home. So here is what I found.<br />
<br />
This quilt was a combined effort from my quilt group, Winding Ways, we each chose the fabric for our own quilt and passed out to the others. The theme was stars and each of us chose a star pattern that we made in each others fabric. My friend Sue at The Promise of Hannah Long Arm Quilting, she did a fabulous job!!<br />

It is easy to go through the kitchen and get rid of dishes or that warming tray that I have not used in 5 years... But we are talking about my sewing room...that means fabric, and books and the magazines I have spent years collecting these things, but if we are going to downsize, I need to be ruthless. I think that is hard and scary!!<br />
<br />
Here are some BEFORE pictures.<br />

As you can see the clutter is a bit overwhelming. I do have a lot of stuff... The first things that went are all the scrapbooking supplies. I have decided that I really am not going to do much scrapbooking anymore, so it is all going. I have put a post up on the blog you can go <a href="http://bumblebee-and-sophie.blogspot.com/2012/03/scrapbooking-supplies.html">here</a> and see all the things that I am offering for sale. Email me if you are interested.</div>

Have you noticed your taste in decor or fabric changes over the years. Mine has. I know some of you are just getting started, but after 30 years, my tastes have gone from country, dark, to a cross between Pottery Barn and Ikea. I like color and I like bold, hence there are no white walls in my house. I have a lot of dark fabric, although I have gotten rid of some, I still have a fair amount. Even though I don't favor these fabrics I still think of projects I could make with it, makes it hard to purge....</div>

I participated in a fat quarter exchange and project at<a href="http://ninthstreetnotions.com/"> Ninth Street Notions</a> , I made a gift set for a baby girl shower gift. It consists of a little bag, two burp cloths, a paci-clip, and a bib clip. It will be going in my Etsy shop this week. I had 5 fat quarters to work with, I did add one more for the lining of the bag.</div>

I was realizing that even sitting to feed Cora her bottle I felt I needed to be "doing" something. Today, I sat and gazed out the window watching the snow start to fall and the birds at the bird feeder. <br />

Every time I looked away from her she would bounce with her legs and when I looked down at her she would smile with the bottle still in her mouth, as if to say "Hey, Grandma, look at me." So cute!!<br />

Even sitting down to read a book feels somehow lazy. I am not creating something... I don't take much time to plan, my day, or a meal or my business. Even taking the time to write a blog post, or visit and comment on my favorite blogs seems like a misuse of my time. What is wrong with me!<br />
<br />
I seriously think I need to relax!!<br />
<br />
Here is an example of not taking the time to plan...I am participating in a Fat Quarter Swap and Challenge over at <a href="http://ninthstreetnotions.com/">Ninth Street Notions</a>. I got my pack of 5 fat quarters earlier in the week and thought I would make a baby gift set. The set would consist of 2 burp cloths, a paci clip, and a bib clip, and then a small bag (LL Bean style), to put it all in.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
The burp cloths and clips were easy I have done them a few times, but the bag I had not made in a long time. I was planning on using fusible fleece to give it body, but was so focused on getting the handles and pocket and bag bottom right that I forgot all about the fleece...so it is an add on...<br />
