Sewing withdrawals...

Currently I have no time to sew - BOO! But I still have time at work to browse the interwebs. I found two awesome things that I would like to participate in. Now to share about them:

I don't think my mustache button is working :-(

1. Can't grow a mo'? Sew a mo'! Danielle of DJ Coolbear is asking for help making some mustachioed blocks for quilts that will be raffled off; monies made from the sales will go to help out where her dad received care during his fight with prostate cancer, Mary Potter Hospice. You can read more about Danielle and what she is doing here and here. I have been toying with mustaches ever since I read about the mustdash lap quilt by Katy at i'm a ginger monkey. So this is the perfect way to try my hand at some stache. Plus my good buddy GT over at Love Handle Clothing would be so proud! Will keep you posted on stache updates :-)

2. Harry Potter Mug rug swap! EEPS - this screams fantastic. Rebeckah over at Handmade by Rebeckah has started this little fun idea and all you peeps can get in on it. Stephanie over at Sewing by Stephanie made a graphic/button for the swap and the Flickr group is here. Basically it seems that there will be two theme ideas - a Fall theme and then a holiday/Christmas theme. I know exactly what I will be doing. EXACTLY! Hahaha. Anyhow you should head to the flickr group and sign yourselves up! It promises to be a good time.

Wish me luck - the last week of no sewing- thank jeebus! Monday night I am hitting the machine hard core - I got quilt back log and am super excited to start these new items.

And just for S&G -  this is an awesome short called The Maker I saw at the film festival this weekend. If you have 5-6 minutes check it.

Also - did No Doubt come out with a new song? I heard something on the radio the other day that sounded exactly like them but newer

Ciao bellas!
