Crafty Time with the Kiddos...

Battling colds around here and not really wanting to sit in front of the TV while we are not feeling our best so the kids (and Matt) sat around the table with me last night and a bit this morning and helped cover buttons for me to make bookmarks with. Helps take our minds off of feeling icky. Here is our fun bowl of button goodness. My fingers are thanking them! It goes pretty fast when there is a big group of us working on them!

Bookmark Happiness...

Finished some bookmarks for a customer this week. The older girls sat with me and worked on the bookmarks while Bell had her speech therapy session this week. They had fun making the buttons. I haven't worked on new bookmarks for awhile and am now looking forward to getting more ready for the holiday seasons coming up. They are always a fun way to capture small glimpses of beauty from fabrics.

Something is Missing....Part One

I do not think these are going to work anymore, do you!?
Sorry hun, I didn't think that color looked so great on you anyways:)...


Hummm? Just doesn't seem right does it? Clothes are just not safe in this house... Are you like me? Do you scan those racks and racks at the thrift store for eye candy. Now I know that cashier is thinking "there is NO WAY that skirt is going to fit this lady, she must just be in denial"-haha! Forget the tag size for once! I am looking for prints for my fabric stash! This afternoon, after all my schooling, shipping and listing was done, I was able to finally play with some of the fabric I have been setting aside for some projects. I had two eye candy bins waiting for me. I happily cut up some clothes for baby bibs. Don't they just look well, yummy! They are all paired up with their fun counterparts and sitting at my machine waiting for me....I AM COMING!!!! I will post some of the finished fun later! Hopefully not too much later!
