This is a fun one! Today I have for you, a list of great jelly shot ideas, 32 free bag patterns, and how to win at 5 old-school games. So get ready to sew, get goofy, and kick butt at rock-paper-scissors!  The bag up above is absolutely fantastic, and there's 31 more linked in this nifty post. Check them out here. This website has so many delicious-sounding ideas for fancy jelly shots. The one pictured above is made with St. Germaine, Champagne, and grapefruit juice. Check out all their ideas here.

I've been pretty lucky lately, first winning the  plushie from Heidi Kenney , and I just found out I've won another blog contest I entered! This time I've won a set of three pop-up poster prints from one of my favorite paper artists,  Jurianne Matter .  The concept of these is what I fell in love with (not to mention the beautiful designs). Each print comes with a few different colored backings that show through when you fold all the little pop-up cutaways out. I can't wait to get these and frame them, I just need to decide where they will go! Also, I wanted to let you all know that I've got a very exciting tutorial that's all typed up and scheduled to post in a few days. It's a complete photo tutorial on how to make a simple quilt! I hope you will all stop by and give it a try if you've never quilted anything before!
