I'd like to live in this jar.

I had been itching to do another paper cut this week and was able to bust this out 2 nights ago when I was supposed to be working on other things. I feel so much better.

Some random items:

-Quilt Market is this weekend in Portland. It's to the trade only (Bummer for most sewers, sorry.) but the good news is it's bringing a slew of big fabric designer rock stars to this town for a few days. This event over at Bolt featuring Heather Ross And Denise Schmidt is for everyone, so head on over—€”it should be a mad house! I hope there will be wristbands. It's this Friday, May 16th, from 5-7pm.

-I am so excited to see all the Pleated Beauty handbags on the Bend The Rules flickr group. Most of these newest ones were part of this BTRS swap organized by Clicky the Moose, so flipping cool!! You can vote for the next BTRS swap project at the link. This warms my heart you guys!!

-On the paper cutting topic, I finally have this book and this book headed to me in the mail. I still need the Rob Ryan book here. He's a knife wielding genius. His blog is here. Amazing. And his skirt design for Clothkits, even more amazing.

-The single Ked is still missing. I got another pair, but they are different, because if I replaced the exact pair, you know I would find the missing Ked. That's just how it works.
