Glee

How I love thee!!! There. I said it. I really love Glee!!! I had such a huge smile on my face after watching the pilot episode again. I can't wait for next week and a new episode. But I may just have to catch the pilot eppy again on Friday night!!

Don't forget I take custom orders. If you see anything you like but want it in a different fabric, or even a different size, just send me a convo and we'll set up a custom order. I have some more new fabrics to add, and I should have even MORE new fabrics any day now.

You Should Think About Winning This!!

Kelci over at Crafty Mama Creations is having a giveaway. Look at the cute purse she made using Amy Butler fabrics. Just go to her blog for details on how you can have a chance to win this fabulous purse.

Shaq Vs. Albert Pujols and a new purse...

A few weeks ago my husband and my daughter went to the taping of Shaquille O'Neal Vs. Albert Pujols in a home run derby at T.R. Hughes Ballpark in O'Fallon, MO. No pictures (no cameras OR cell phones) were allowed, so I wasn't as interested in going, but they had a good time. This episode airs tonight on ABC. Catch it if you can.

On another note, I am back to work at the elementary school part time, and between that and homework - not mine, since I am not in either 6th grade or 9th grade - I haven't had much time to sew. Weekends are all mine to sew, so if you want something, don't hesitate to request it. I just received tons of new home dec weight fabrics, and more will be arriving soon.

I am also in the middle of making a new purse - it's coming along nicely. I was hoping to have it finished this evening, but I just have too many other responsibilities tonight.

"It's too green."

"It's too green" Twilight inspired wristlets are now in my Etsy shop. I was washing the tons of new fabrics I recently received, and while folding my 'greens' I thought of Edward's quote about watching Bella talk in her sleep.

Of course, if you like the wristlets, but want a color other than green, just send me a convo. I have tons of other fabrics to choose from.

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is my husband's birthday. Even though none of you know him, you can still celebrate his birthday.

Now through Saturday, August 15, purchase at least one regular priced item and get $5.00 off your entire order!! Just type 'Birthday Sale' in the notes to seller section on Etsy. It's just that easy!!

I have some new items listed that I have been working on this past week. I still have more stuff to list, so be sure to check it out!!

I've been a very bad blogger, and I have tons of cool stuff to share. Maybe I can update again while recuperating from knee surgery - I have torn cartilage in my knee that I am having removed tomorrow. Yay for pain free bending of the knee!! AND I should be able to straighten out my leg after surgery. Double yay!!

I am approaching 500 Sales!!!

I cannot believe I am almost at 500 sales. I'm still not sure what I will be doing to celebrate hitting 500, but I'm sure I'll think of something!!

I've been meaning to post about what we've been doing for the past 2 weeks, but it's just been so crazy around here I haven't had time. So look for many new posts this week, since I should be able to get back into the blog groove.

Don't forget - I am always taking requests. If you see something you like but want it in a different size or with different fabrics, just let me know!!

A New Nintendo DS Case For My Daughter

My daughter asked for a new case for her Nintendo DS to use on our mini vacation, so I convinced her I could make one better than she could find at the store. It turned out really well. I used 2 layers of Pellon fusible fleece, and along with the layers of decor weight fabric, it is sufficiently padded. I added 2 interior pockets that close with velcro so her games won't fall out when she opens the case. She picked out this fabric and she is very pleased with how it turned out.

Vacation Sale!!!

Check out my Etsy shop. Vacation Sale - BOGO 1/2 Off Sale going on through July 23, 2009. Buy 1 item get 2nd item equal or lesser value at 1/2 price. (Limit one 1/2 price item per customer.)

Here is something I just added to my Etsy shop - how cute are these pencil pouches?

WINNER!!!!!

Congratulations to dollee!! She is the winner of the "I Drive Like A Cullen" zippered pouch!! Once again I used a random number generator my daughter to pick a winner. As you can see, Kitty tried to pick a winner, but she didn't have much success.


Everyone guessed the correct answer that this ferris wheel was originally at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. Here is my daughter (on the right) riding in car #1. What a coincidence that the carnival opened on the same day that Michael died. I couldn't resist going and snapping a shot of something that has such a storied past. In my quest to verify that this was indeed Michael's ferris wheel, I found pictures and videos of it when the main body was painted orange. Now it has a fresh coat of green paint - so fresh that we couldn't even find any scratches on it!!

Stone Wildflowers

Does anyone else completely love Joel Dewberry's Stone Wildflowers from his Ginseng line? I've been envying everyone who has it and has been using it, because I couldn't justify spending $15.00 a yard for it. But I recently acquired it at dirt cheap prices and I am sooooooo very happy to finally have it!! I look forward to using it, and I have a new purse in mind for it.

I just completed a large custom order, and now I have another semi-large custom order to finish up. Then I plan on making a few purses for my Etsy shop using some of my Joel Dewberry Ginseng fabrics.
