Happy Sunday!

I’m up early today! Early by my standards.  I was up by 10:30am.  I woke up excited because I get to go fabric shopping today!  I listed (8) lots of Fat Eighths on eBay last night and I sold out in just over 2 hours!  So freaking amazing! Now I get to pick out 20 bolts of flannel, buy a yard of each, cut it into eighths and send that fabric off to 8 new homes.  What a wonderful job I have!

I also did something totally different for a video yesterday.  I started out by recording a Follow Me Around, but I didn’t end up recording enough footage.  So I turned that into a Daily Life Vlog with snippets of what I do during the day.  I showed a bit of what I recorded in Marden’s, then I showed you m “disgusting” meat lunch (I know many of you think it’s disgusting so I feel the need to warn you LOL), and then I was about to record my Fat Eighths video and since I knew that was going to be a short video, I turned on my second camera and I let you watch me “behind the scenes” as I recorded it!  I left it pretty much as is with all the pauses, stumbling over words, even a burp.  I did end up fast forwarding through the pauses because I didn’t want you just sitting there.  So watch THIS VIDEO to see the mostly unedited version and then watch THIS VIDEO to see how much I edited.  Please remember this was a short video to begin with.  I often have videos with over an hour of footage and I try to get them down to 15 minutes.  That’s always a challenge! LOL

Today, after shopping for fabric, I may do some of the cutting. Maybe all of it.  I will only have 20 yards to cut into eighths so that will not take me as long as when I cut 60 yards.

Then I’d love to come up with an Upcycled Fashions video.  And I want to do something for my “shit” series.  And there is always that Quilt Block Party that I need to wrap up!  Plenty do to.  Just need to find the time!

Oh, and for sure there will be more snippets of my daily life.  I got fantastic feedback in the comments on youtube for that video!

Have a great Sunday!  Darlene xoxo

Happy Saturday!

I woke up waaaaay late today.  After noon!  So this will be a short day for me.  I hope I can still get lots done.

First, let’s talk about yesterday.  I uploaded my Youtube Earnings Update for the full month of May.  Check it out to see how I did!

Then I listed 3 lots of Fat Quarters on ebay and advertised that on Youtube.  I sold out almost immediately!

Today, since I’m in a fabric mood, I’m heading over to Marden’s with Sandy Pro so I can take close up pics of the flannel.  I’m so anxious to list some flannel on ebay.  Not sure yet if it will be fat quarters or something else, but it will be a grab bag lot, meaning I will buy the fabric only after it sells so I know how much I need to buy.  And I hope to record a little bit during this girls’ outing too!

What else is on my list… oh, maybe I can work on the new Quilt Block Party series where I start to fix and embellish some of the blocks!  Once that is done, I’ll see about finding an easy way to put the blocks together and make a quilt.  A lightly quilted quilt. lol  We now know I do not like the looks of tons of quilting, lol.

Not too much else to report.  All I know is that it’s a gray and cool day and I got lots of sleep, so I’m probably ready to rumble until the wee hours of the morning!  Stick around because I love having you with me!

Have a great Saturday!  Darlene xoxo
