A drawing transfered onto a stocking

It's officially been a year since I've become blog crazed.  No, not since I've started my blog, but since I've become obsessed with reading blogs, and sewing more than I've ever sewn before.   Last November, 2010, I stumbled upon Prudent Baby, and became obsessed.  Everyday,sometimes a couple of times a day, I would manually go to their website to see what was new. With the nudge...

Ahead of the game...at least for now.

Yay!! I'm sooo proud of myself. It's silly, but I'm soo happy that I got a stocking completed already, and it's not even December. This will look sooo cute next to my little black Christmas tree, once it's decorated.  Well I hope it will look cute. Now, what I need to do next is stop procrastinating, and get my Christmas decorations out.  You know time starts to fly.  I want it to...

Thrift Share Monday November 28

Happy Thanksgiving and a SALE

How did this day approach so quickly?  Wow! So it's time for turkey, and about a dozen other side dishes today....mmmmm can't wait.  Turkey dinner is my most favorite meal.  So I'll admit by saying I cheat and eat this meal several other times each year, but the lazy way.  I buy the roasted turkey breast at the grocery store, along with their pre-made mashed potatoes, then I make...

Thrift Share Monday November 21

One event/holiday/birthday down and 6 to go.  My sister got married this weekend, and it was so wonderful.  She got married Thursday evening, and we froze as temps dropped to 50 degrees (outdoor venue) in strapless and sleeveless dresses.  Luckily this was just the ceremony and we weren't out all night.  Saturday she had the reception, also outdoors, and the weather could not have...

My Fav Friday - outdoor photos

Photography doesn't appear to be my strong suit based on the crafty, thrifting, sewing photos I post.  However, I love to take pictures. At one time my favorite pictures to take were of my kids, but since they've gotten older that's changed.  Is it because I don't like photographing them anymore?  No, of course not.  It's because they scatter, like roaches when the light gets...

A new to me online fabric store & a last minute Bridal Shower gift

While roaming blogland about two weeks ago I bumped into a online fabric shop.  I "liked" them on Facebook, and even subscribed to their email list.  Then the following week I get a sale email from them.  I browse around, then notice they are local.  What???  Awesome! I love supporting local businesses, so I start seriously browsing their selection of fabrics.  I pause...
