FABRIC SALE TODAY ONLY....AND A FEW NEW PROJECTS




ALL FABRIC IN THE SHOP IS 25% OFF TODAY. I HAVE STOCKED QUITE A BIT OF NEW PRINTS THIS WEEK. HAPPY SHOPPING. AND I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE A FEW SEWING PROJECTS I FINALLY FINISHED THIS PAST WEEK. I HAVE BEEN WORKING FROM MY PROJECTS BASKET LATELY. THESE ARE THINGS I HAD DESIGNED QUITE AWHILE AGO, SOME EVEN A YEAR AGO, AND HAD NOT ACTUALLY BEGUN WORK ON.

THIS BASKET IS A HUGE BLESSING AND ALSO IS A VERY VITAL PART OF MY PRODUCTIVITY. IT IS NOT JUST A PILE OF UNFINISHED , DID NOT FOLLOW THROUGH IDEAS. THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS BASKET, THERE ARE SEASONS THAT I AM VERY INSPIRED TO DESIGN, AND IN THE TIMES I AM NOT, I AM USUALLY INSPIRED TO SIT AND SEW, SO THEY BOTH WORK TOGETHER WELL. HAVING THIS BASKET ALLOWS ME TO BE MOBILE, IF I HAVE TO DESIGN SOMETHING, IT MEANS I AM STUCK IN MY STUDIO. LATELY, I HAVE CRAVED SUNSHINE, SO BEING ABLE TO BRING MY MACHINE UPSTAIRS AND WORK HAS BEEN HEALTHY FOR ME. THEN THERE IS A NEED TO BE ABLE TO INTERMINGLE BEING A MAMA AND WORK. I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THAT AFTER PUTTING THE KIDDOS TO BED AND ME DISAPPEARING TO THE BASEMENT TO WORK HAS NOT BEEN WORKING SO WELL. BUT NOW THAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING UPSTAIRS, BEDTIME IS MUCH SMOOTHER, I CAN HELP WITH THOSE WANDERING THOUGHTS AS THEY DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP AND GENTLY REMIND THEM TO TALK QUIETLY, I CAN GET THAT 5TH GLASS OF WATER;) AND SO ON. BUT IT DOES NOT DRAG ON SO LONG AS IT DOES WHEN I DOWNSTAIRS. SO HERE IS THE FRUIT OF THIS BASKET BEING READY.

THESE TWO LITTLE WOOL HATS ARE MADE FROM SOME OF MY MOST FAVORITE RECYCLED WOOL. I WISH IT COULD HAVE LASTED FOREVER!
I AM SUPER EXCITED TO FINALLY SEE THIS QUILT IN IT'S FINISHED GLORY! I KEPT ALL MY LITTLE SCRAPS FROM THE VINTAGE STAR WARS LINENS I USE FOR BAGS, CLOTHING, ETC AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THEM ALL INTO A FUN QUILT.
I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SETS OF CUDDLY JERSEY HATS IN SOLIDS. I HAVE JUST LOVED PLAYING WITH COLOR COMBINATIONS.
