Calendar

And it's up... I have been wanting to post a calendar of events on my website forever, but didn't like the idea of just making a list. That would be to hard to keep up with. I don't update that often and besides, I don't care to see event's that aren't updated on other people's sites. Anyhow, I got mine from Google. It allows me to add my events to the calendar and it automatically does the updating for me. Now I have my sale's listed (with details). I have a few craft shows listed as well. I'm so happy!

Happy Birthday

to me. If you didn't already know. Today was my birthday. I woke up and had a great morning. I came to work. I had a wonderful surprise in my email box. I submitted a "Bright Idea" and it was approved and implemented. YAY! I have tons of bright ideas, but this was the first one that was approved. I am happy to be submitting wonderful ideas on how to improve processes at work. I also got a wonderful Edible Arrangement from my daring husband... he's a sweet heart.



I also got some chocolate covered apples, oranges and strawberries from my good friend Jenn. I love chocolate covered oranges. I first tried them 3 months ago when I got her an Edible Arrangement for her birthday. All I can say is that my diet I wanted to start today just got postponed for another day. You can't waste good chocolate, right???

Oh, I guess I should also note that I have a sale going in to celebrate my birthday. You can receive 29% off your total purchase from now until Saturday, June 6th. Enter coupon code JUNE29 at checkout to receive the discount.

My week so far

Didn't feel like making bags so I made a few of these on Monday...(fyi.. they are pocket tissue holders)


Loved these when I saw them. I found the tutorial online here and I made some...


And I started a bedspread for my daughter today. I found this fabric called "Running 8th's" at Joann Fabrics a few weeks ago. I also found a pattern for pillows that I liked so I took the pillow pattern and just started making blocks. I am hoping to have the blocks sewn together tonight and back it with some fleece sometime this weekend. I am still debating what color I should buy the fleece in.



Ah..2 more days... I am enjoying my time off... I love being home with the cats. I love them but they are super lazy and have a strange way of convincing me to take an afternoon nap before my daughter comes home. I hope to ward off the lazy kitty spell and to get some more stuff made up.. I have a show on Saturday!

One week off... GREAT!!

I had big plans for this week. I have craft show on Saturday and was planning on making tons of bags and accessories for the show.... BUT I got sick. I think it's a head cold.. I think.. anyway.. stuffing nose and sore throat...Dayquil is great, but it still makes me drowsy... I am hoping that I can get rid of this illness by Wednesday so I can get some work done.

Working Hard

Last week was a very busy week for me. There was so much going on with creating an 80's outfit for my daughter, getting my family organized for our Mother's Day dinner and also just spending time with my family. I was very blessed to be able to spend Saturday afternoon and evening sewing up some handbags with my daughter. She decided that she finally wanted to sit down and make some catnip squares for the cats. So from 1 o'clock to almost 8 we sewed and sewed and sewed. Well, she didn't sew as much, she went outside for an hour and rollerbladed and played with friends. That little bit of time we spent together was a joy. We didn't argue, we sat there and talked a bit and enjoyed each other's company. In that time, we also were able to put together 3 bags (a denim Massie, a Amy Butler Print Jenni and a tan linen Mascara) and about 4 cat nip toys (she did more talking than working). The bags will be photographed very soon.. Hopefully before it rains tomorrow.. then they will be listed on the website for purchase.
