New Fabric Have Arrived!!

I love getting new fabric and this California Dreamin' line by Jeanne Morrison is one of my favorites from last season.

 I also just discovered the Gypsy Bandanna line from 

Pillow & Maxfield, I just love the bright spring colors.

Now what to make with these yummy fabrics, did I ever mention that the hardest part for me is cutting the beautiful fabric into the pattern pieces! How crazy is that!

A New Bag!!

A new bag, a big challenge! This is my take on the Amy Butler Sweet Harmony handbag, I modified it here and there and am please with the finished product.
I might just be getting back into the groove!! What can I make next???

It's Been Way To Long

Finally getting back into the crafty groove after a long cold winter! Finished this tote for some friends at Chowan Hospital yesterday and they are going to be raffling it off for their Rely For Life Team!

Now trying to clear the clutter from the sewing room and the cobwebs from my brain so I can start getting some more things made!

My Christmas Wish List!!

The Brother Duetta 4500d 

This is definitely on my Christmas list for this year!! I drug the hubby to Sew and Vac place to go visit it today and OMG it is SWEET!! It will be a major upgrade from my Brother SE-400!! I will go from a 4x4 embroidery area to a 7x12 embroidery area  wooohooo oh the possibilities!! So fingers and toes crossed cause I really want this baby!!  With more orders coming in I would love to offer more selection on embroidery!!  Sorry if this is rambling, but hey I am excited!!!

Getting Back In The Swing Of Things

After what seems like forever, we have moved completely out of the old house and into the new! Well new to us, it is a 90 year old farmhouse that has been in my family for exactly that long. My Great-Grandfather built it and he and my Great-Grandmother raised their seven children here. My mother and aunt were also raised here and I feel blessed and privileged to get to raise my rowdy brood here also.

 

My sewing room has grown from a tiny room the size of a closet, to much bigger space, and it is wonderful. Most things have a place and are in it!  But over the last few weeks I have dusted off the sewing and embroidery machines and they have been humming all day long.  Love the sound of progress!!!

New Items coming soon!! Great Gifts....

Boutique gifts without the boutique prices!! We have all seen the monogrammed tumblers, key chains and mouse pads, but how about machine embroidered monograms!!! How cool is that!!
