Another Quilt Post

You didn’t think I could last this long, did you?

I added my fourth quilt to Etsy but the catch is that this one is custom order. Let me know the colors you’d like and I’ll surprise you with a fantastic lap quilt. (Wishful thinking of a design challenge I suppose).

Up next, rainbow Zig Zag for my niece Phoebe’s birthday.

Room Sharing

Our house is a shoebox. Our kid’s rooms are the size of stamps.

My almost two year old is close to needing his bed instead of a crib and my brilliant idea is to have my two children share one room for sleeping and create the other room for playing.

Thoughts on sharing a room?

Here are some room sharing candy.

My New Kitchen Stop

Stephanie — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:44:17 +0000

When I’m in Memphis visiting my mom, we always ALWAYS have to stop at the Williams-Sonoma outlet.

Well folks, guess what. I think I found my new favorite kitchen spot. Too bad it’s only in New York. I guess that’s what online shopping is for, right? So Fishs Eddy, congratulations! You are bookmarked and WILL be shopped at.

Here’s a peek of greatness.

Where Have I Been?

Stephanie — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:07:05 +0000

Well, my computer was being reformatted. I’ve been working a lot at my “paid” job and oh yeah, I’ve BEEN QUILTING.

I can’t stop. Seriously. It’s what I think of when I go to sleep and it’s what I think of when I wake up.

I recently made a quilt for my friend Sylvia, who I’m also doing wedding invitations for, and I ended up with so much fabric that I made a second quilt. So why not give Etsy a shot and try selling it? It can only help my addiction, right?

Waterless Snow Globes = Best Craft Ever

Stephanie — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:06:02 +0000

Yesterday I had the luxury of making waterless snow globes over at Missy’s mom’s house. (Thanks Pam!)

I couldn’t have been any happier with making them and since they’re charging $25 for similar ones over at Anthropologie, well, I think I’m pretty happy with my 5 that I made for free. Again, thanks Pam.

I challenge you to only make one. They’re kind of like potato chips. You just can’t stop.

Next Project, Possibly?

Stephanie — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:47:22 +0000

Over the weekend, I visited an Anthropolgie in Memphis.

Say it with me, ahhhhh. We Ozarkians don’t have an Anthropologie, so I take every opportunity that I can to soak it all in while I visit one. Lo and behold, would you guess what they’re all about at the moment? QUILTS!

Yes. Quilts. Gorgeous quilts. Expensive quilts. A log cabin quilt that hey, I just finished one! So add these two quilts for inspiration for future projects.

Anthropologie Quilt. I can do this with scraps.

Anthropologie Quilt. I love a good log cabin, especially a white and red one.

The Quilt.

My addiction has begun. The quilt is finished. I. Am. In. Love.

It’s weird how you can fall in love with an object, but I did. I am so proud it’s ridiculous. I have taken this thing to work to show off, taken numerous Instagram photos of it and probably annoyed every single soul that comes into contact with me from my ramblings on quilting.

So yes. I’m one happy gal at the moment.

I’ve Been Busy

Stephanie — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:33:45 +0000

I feel that I’ve neglected my duties on Cinco Style lately…all for good reasons though!

First, the quilt.

Oh the quilt. The new love of my life. The new obsession. The new everything.

For all the other projects I’ve been working on, go ahead and check them out at SHD! (Shameless plug. Sorry).

Elf on the Shelf: What do you think?

Before I was a parent, I thought the idea of the “Elf on the Shelf” was just plain cruel.

Now I think it’s hilarious. What do you think? Do you have one? Would you have one? I’m still debating.

Birthday Bunting

Nicole — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:49:16 +0000

Anyone have any good tutorials out there to make a birthday banner? I thought I’d create one that would last years, and would be gender neutral for both kiddos.

I found this one using scrapbook paper, which seems fun:
