Todo parece indicar que la hermosa presentadora del canal RCN Laura Acuña ,esta en busca de la reconciliacion con su ex Jose Gaviria.
En los ultimos dias se a visto a la parejita muy abrasaditos en los pasillos del canal,y en una actitud muy melosa para ser solo amigos. Ojala que si se deciden a retomar esta relacion sea muy duradera pues los dos hacen una bonita pareja,y ademas ya es hora que Laurita tenga una relacion firme con alguien que la quiera y valore . Laura Acuña es de esas mujeres dificiles de olvidar ,y al parecer Jose Gaviria ya lo entendio y por eso esta jugando a la reconquista .Miss mejores deseos para estos dos personajes .
La situacion de esta hermosa mujer no es la mejor desde que se supo de su romance con Robinson diaz,para Sara Corrales a sido muy dificil continuar con su vida personal y profesional ya que esta en el hojo del huracan.
Sara Corrales es la comidilla de los medios,y no precisamente para elogiar su talento,el romance con su compañero de set,le a traido muchos problemas en las grabaciones de la telenovela Vecinos del canal Caracol . Adriana Arango la esposa de Robinson Diaz se a dedicado a hablar de este episodio apesar que habian llegado a un acuerdo de no comentar esto con los medios segun lo dijo Sara.
Esperamos que esto no dañe la carrera de esta actriz ,pues lo personal no se puede combinar con lo profesional.Yo discrepo de aquellos que dicen que Sara Corrales despues de Vecinos deberia desaparecer de la pantalla chica por un tiempo,"EL QUE ESTE LIBRE DE PECADO QUE LANCE LA PRIMERA PRIEDRA".
Desde MissPendejadas brindamos todo el apoyo a esta gran actriz y hermosa mujer.
This week's TTT will be a short one, but oh so helpful. We're having another party this weekend...this time for Courtney's high school graduation...we've invited over 80 people, so I've been running around like a maniac. I'm having a carnival theme with booths, games, prizes, a moon bounce, cotton candy machine and a full dinner. I ought to have my head examined, but you only graduate from high school once. Ok, back to Tuesday's helpful hint.
space
Paint chips...love the free paint chips. We've been painting for the party, so I grabbed these paint chips while at the hardware store. She wants a blue and yellow theme, because those are the colors of the university she will be going to in 25 days (lump in throat).
space
Now I know there is a TTT in these paint chips somewhere...
Woo Hoo!! How about matching the chips to one of the fabrics that you already have in your stash and then just take the paint chip strip with you to the quilt shop. You can then match any range of colors to the fabric, because you already know it matched the strip. space This really takes the guessing out of picking and matching colors, because Benjamin Moore has already done the color work for you.
Hope you like this short, but sweet Tool Time Tuesday. space I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful comments and emails. I really miss visiting your blogs, but I know my life will slow down soon...this summer has been a crazy one. I will try and get back to you after this weekend, so don't think I've forgotten you!!! space By the way...if any one has any suggestions for more games for our carnival, I would love it if you could share. Well, I'm off to bed...see you next week. I'll try to remember to take pictures of the carnival to share. space Have a great Tuesday, ~Karen~
I found this coffee related quote, but I don't know who said it... space
"You know when you've had too much coffee when
you can thread a sewing machine while it's running"
space I had a "brewed" awakening one morning when I found a package of coffee filters that I don't use anymore. What to do? What to make? I couldn't just throw them away...how about sewing with them! I am so flying by the seat of my pants on this Tool Time Tuesday. I have never made a crazy quilt block or used any type of foundation when quilting, so if there is anything that looks like I need help...please let me know. space Here we go... first up...the paper coffee filters space
One paper coffee filter ironed very flat.
space
Gather up all your odd shaped scraps or just cut some up like I did. (still have some pieces of my favorite Moda's like Wuthering Heights...love the browns and reds) space
randomly place a piece on the filter right side up.
space
Take another fabric scrap and place it on top of the first piece, right sides together.
Stitch with 1/4" seam, sewing through the 2 pieces of fabric and the coffee filter.
Here is a close up of the seam.
Open up the top fabric and press with hot iron.
Here it is pressed open.
Select another piece of fabric and place right side down on the 2 first pieces. Play with the placement, so they aren't going all in the same direction.
Sew again with 1/4" seam.
In this close up, you can trim the extra fabric that sticks out beyond the 1/4" seam to reduce the bulk.
Iron the new piece open.
In this picture you can see that it doesn't matter that the scraps extend beyond the shape of the circle.
Keep adding scraps right side down on the last sewn fabric. Press each piece open after sewing it down.
When you have completely covered the coffee filter, it will look like this. (I know...it looks like a mess, but you'll see).
This is a picture of the back.
Trim the excess fabric up to the coffee filter.
Dampen the coffee filter with a spray bottle of water or just soak it in the sink like I did (flying by the seat of my pants...not knowing what I was doing here, but it worked!!) This helps the filter just melt away from the seams. Tears off very easily.
Press again with the iron and there you have it...a perfect "Crazy Coffee Circle". All you need to do is applique it to a pillow, make several more and blanket stitch them to squares of fabric and make a quilt with all these scrappy circles. You can also cut a square out of it if you wanted to. The size of my filter when it's ironed flat is 8 inches across.
I started this project after work on Monday night, another late night project as usual. I had no plan of action...just grabbed some fabric and sewed away. I think I'll pick out more fabric and make a bunch of these. Can't wait to see what a full quilt of circles sewn to different squares looks like. space
These were very easy to make, so I hope you can join me in making these fun circles. I looked up the definition of a "Coffee Klatch". It is a casual social gathering for coffee and conversation. spaceMaybe I should start a virtual "Crazy Coffee Klatch". We could all make our own version of the coffee filter circles, while having a nice cup of coffee and then post it on our blogs. Let me know what you think...sounds crazy, but that seems to be the theme of this post. I think I need to go to bed now!!! spaceHope you all have a great (crazy) Tuesday,
For me a bucket of anything to go is good, but a bucket of half square triangles is even better. Do you remember a few posts back when I was making the 1930's spool blocks? I had mentioned that whenever I am sewing squares on the diagonal, I take the time to sew the extra seam and it gives me all the extra half square triangles (remember the bucket of them in the clamp Tool Time Tuesday). Well, here is a little tutorial on how I square up the little 1.5 inch half square triangles without using a rotary cutter. With this technique, you can square them up while watching tv, out on your porch, in the car or like me today...at the beach. I get antsy at the beach, so I always need something to do!!!! space Here's the spool block. space space The 2 outer rectangles of the block are white and have 2 squares placed on each end. I drew the black line so you could see the direction of where the stitching will be. space
I sewed the first stitching line from corner to corner. Then I sewed again a 1/2" away from the first stitch line. I use a piece of blue painters tape to mark my machine so it goes faster.
Now simply cut between the 2 stitch lines.
For each of the 2 rectangles that you need for the spool block, you will get 4 little extra half square triangles.
The 2 on the left are for the spool and the 4 on the right are your extras, all ironed and waiting to be squared up.
Here's my bucket to go!!!!
The next few pictures are the tutorial for squaring them up without using a rotary cutter. spaceFirst take the square and measure it. Mine are a little larger than 1.5 inches.
Take a piece of medium weight plastic, somewhat see through. I used a notebook divider. You can also use template material.
Cut a square to your desired size. Mine will be 1.5 inches. With a permanent thin tipped marker, draw a line from corner to corner.
Now place your plastic square on the fabric half square triangle and match the black line to the diagonal line of the seam.
With little sharp scissors, trim the excess fabric and the little pieces that are sticking out.
Here you have a finished half square triangle that will finish up in a quilt at 1 inch. Tiny I know, but oh so cute in a mini quilt!!
The next few pictures are different arrangements to use them in mini quilts or borders.
These last 2 pictures are of a little quilt I made using this technique. This was made with the extra half square triangle from a Thimbleberries quilt. I trimmed them all to 1 inch and the finished squares are 1/2 inch. The mini quilt is 7" x 9" with a matching pillow sham. I certainly didn't waste any fabric on that one!!!
I hope you can use this idea the next time you have to trim your squares. Just imagine yourself in a comfy chair, instead of hunched over your rotary mat with a pile of half square triangles staring at you.
