2 DOWN AND TONS TO GO!


Okay-here are 2 blankets done but I still have lots more to do. I did these both yesterday. I have been frustrated today because I haven't been able to do any sewing. I just feel like I can't get my head above water today. I just feel like my to do list is 1 million miles long and I can't catch up. It is mainly because of a fussy baby that won't take good naps today. Poor baby got some shots yesterday and I think his chunky little thighs still hurt. I have the next 2 projects lined up and ready to go in the sewing room so as soon as I am done I will post pics. Have a good Thursday!

SNEAK PEEK











I have been a bit out of sewing commission for the last couple of weeks. My trusty sewing machine failed me. It worked fine one day and then the next day it was broken! It has been in the shop getting fixed. I must say it was a nice little break. I am ready to put her to good use now though!


I had the privilege of shopping at Sarah's Fabric's in Lawrence, Ks. on Saturday. Lawrence is only a 40 minute drive for me and it is well worth it. The first time I stepped into her store I just stood there staring. There is the largest selection of fabrics I have ever seen. I actually get a little overwhelmed when I go there. Millions of thoughts go racing around in my head. Ideas come flooding in to the point where I never know where to start. I always leave there with great fabrics and great ideas. This trip was specifically for blanket making fabrics. I am very happy with my purchases. The website is http://www.sarahsfabrics.com/. Here is a sneak peek of what will be transformed into several boutique blankets in the days to come. They will be backed with chenille, minky and rosebud swirl. I will post the pictures when they are done.
I also made the black and pink tutu today. I am really happy how it turned out. Now I just have to think of a shirt to go with it. I hope everyone is having a happy Monday!
