We’re reading Skippy Jon Jones around here - have you read it? It’s awesome. So in the spirit of Skippito Friskito, let me say, “Holy Guacamole!” There is so much awesome stuff on the web. Here are a few beans from my pinata:
Latifah Saafir, co-founder of the LA Modern Quilt Guild, has reinvented her blog. Her new home on the www is http://www.thequiltengineer.com/, and it’s looking awesome. I especially love her latest quilt.
Tons of awesome new fabric on the way. I’m greedily eyeing the new LizzyHouse line, Castle Peeps. And not just for the awesome name! I especially love the castle-scape prints, although I truly love the whole line.
Castle Peeps - Gallant Green Castle Town by LizzyHouse
It looks like Fabricworm will have it on sale any day now. And look at this Villagers Rejoice quilt! Super awesome. You can read all about it and download the pattern here.
And of course, I’m counting down until Far Far Away II is released. Can’t wait!

How awesome is this fabric? It’s home dec weight canvas from Ikea. This is a one yard cut - the fox is huge! And so perfect :)
New to quilting? Check out this fun little pdf download over at Sew,Mama,Sew! It’s a Quiltalogue, a printable mini-book of quilting terms. How handy!
Need some more inspiration to get sewing? If you didn’t get your fill browsing the Quilts of the Day on Sew, Mama, Sew!, check out my new favorite group on Flickr: { Handsome } Hexies.
Or how about Elizabeth’s new potholders?
Seriously. So much inspiration everywhere!
so much goodness!
I’ve been on a roaming kick lately. Roaming the web. I can’t help myself! There is so much crafty/foodie blog goodness out there! A couple new favorite blogs:

Lovely pictures, recipes, sewing and knitting ideas and patterns - for sale and for free :)

A fun mix of everything - well written, witty husband and wife duo.

All fabric, all the time.
There’s not enough time in the day! I’m considering implementing a stashbuster mentality around here…anyone else doing this?
And finally, get a load of this bit of out-of-this-world loveliness…http://www.filminthefridge.com/2009/10/06/modern-munki-munki-martian-quilt/. Where can I get some of these munki munki prints?! I officially want the martians and the yoga girls. Anyone know?

Oh, there are so many! First of all, it’s nice to know I’m not alone. Second, I was over at Heather Bailey’s lovely blog, and I found this super cute free pattern for a bat named Betty Boo. While there, taking in the sites, I noticed a link for Trick-Or-Eat. Feast your eyes on this lovely collection…”nine favorite food, craft & lifestyle bloggers await behind nine haunted houses — with an array of holiday tricks and treats to greet you.” It’s a great collection of recipes and fun ideas…plus the little house graphics are super cute. Great job to all those super bloggers! And while on NotMartha.org - one of said super bloggers, I stumbled onto this fun site…treasure abounds at Ask MetaFilter.
For Halloween at the Blabbery house, we are bionicle crazy. This year’s creation was a big success - in fact, this bionicle costume was the first thing I’ve made for my son that he actually liked. His exact words were, “mom, you can make anything!” and “my costume is awesome!” And then he wouldn’t take it off for two days.
There is no higher praise. Meet Mata Nui…
