New Things!!!

I haven't blogged in a while but I have been busy sewing away. Trying out some new things. I had a few people keep asking for business cards, so I ordered those. I love them. They are so cute and little. I have also been working on a few orders. One down a few to go. Excited about putting a sewing class together. If you would like to know more please leave me a meaage. Here are a few of the things I have done lately. Keep posted whoever reads this!!! Oh just so you know I'm blogging from jury duty today. Yay!! I'm kidding no yay. :(

Fruit of the Spirit


Recently my friend Karen asked me to embellish her sweat suit. It was fun to have the freedom with her jacket and pants. She had shared she wanted to focus on patience and self control from fruit of the spirit. So this is what we came up with. Everything was sewn on even added some bling!!


Front of hoodie a white dove with green butterfly.


Back of hoodie words patience & self control along

Grand Opening!!!

Ok the time has come. I have finally taken the advice of many family and friends. I am going to start selling some of my creations. I guess it might be nice to get paid for what I do right? So I am going to start out with purses.

I have three that are ready for sale now. I will continue to make more on a regular basis and post asap. So please share with your friends. Pass on the word. I am thinking about posting them on a site that sells items like them. Just not so sure yet. I want to see how well it takes off through my blog and F.B. So please keep me and all of this in your prayers.
My prayer is that God would bless everything I make and all the work I do. They are all unique and different in every way.

Rockin Baby Onesie

My cousin called me in need of help the other night. She has been invited to a baby shower and received a package in the mail. They sent her a onesie with instructions to decorate it anyway they want and whoever wins their onesie will be framed in the baby's room.
And who did she call? No one but her favorite cousin. I can say that because she says that all the time. I love you D!!! Anyways we went to Joanns and had so much fun shopping. So I asked her a few things to get the creative juices flowing and she shared that the mom loves hot pink and zebra. So we went with that and this is what we got for baby Juliann. A rockin onesie!!


Oh and i had to add a cute little heart to the bootie of the onesie!!! How cute will she look crawling around showing off her bum.

Took a break......

So I took a break from the Internet for a little over a month. But I did not stop sewing. Boy I was busy. My brother got married and I made 5 of the bridesmaids dresses. Mothers day came and I made 5 aprons. I also helped my sisters make some purses. I have pictures of these projects so hold on tight.

I am seriously thinking of starting a business. With a few people pushing me in that direction I am praying about it. So I ask you to please keep me in your prayers. I want God to be in this all the way. I want Him to bless everything I do and make. Even the people that I make things for.
So you will be updated and informed as to when I will be starting this new journey.





Calender Updo!

I know I had a reason I had saved all my old calenders. I had a few years of Mary Engelbreit saved. So I asked my big brother to cut me some plywood pieces that are 15X15 and he did. What a great guy!
I modged podged the calender picture to the wood and painted around it. I had so much fun. I also added wire to the top to hang them from the door or inside the house. Here are some pictures of a couple ones that I have done.

Dresser Makeover

A couple of weeks ago I found a good deal on craigslist. We found a dresser for $15.00. This is it. I forgot and took the picture a little late. It's missing some the handles on the side drawers. Duane wasn't to sure at first but it was the price that sold him of course.





Here is the after picture. With some nice navy paint and dark silver spray paint, I think it looks great. Hey it was $15.00!!
What more can I say??
