How To Be - Movie

Robert Pattinson's movie How To Be finally has a U.S. release date of November 17.



Another of Robert's movies, The Haunted Airman, will be available on DVD in the U.S. on October 13.








I'm not sure how I feel about watching either of these movies. I'm sure I'll enjoy How To Be because I like quirky British movies, and I actually like that Robert is such a dork in this movie. And I have to admit that I probably wouldn't watch The Haunted Airman if Robert wasn't in it.

If you have seen either of these movies, please comment and let me know what you thought of them.

Meadowsweet

Have you seen the latest fabric line from Sandi Henderson? It's called Meadowsweet and it is absolutely gorgeous!! I really like the pear colorway. AND she made the Henna fabric in brown this time!! I can't wait to get my hands on some.

I also love her previous collections - Ginger Blossom and Farmer's Market. They are both very bright and fresh, just like the new line.

SOLD!!

Yesterday, I took my 3 newest bags in to work to show off. I sold these 2!!! Took me completely by surprise, as I usually try not to pimp myself too much.

Don't forget that I do take custom orders. If you see anything you like, but want it in a different fabric, just let me know.

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”

Hearing that Patrick Swayze passed away makes me very sad. I saw it on the internet, and my daughter was nearby, so I told her first. She ran and told her Dad. I was okay with the news at first since it's been expected. But then my husband comes to check on me to see how I'm taking the news, and he's being all sweet. So I told him "I was fine until you came in here to check on me, NOW I'm crying!!"


Perhaps my favorite Patrick Swayze movie of all time is North and South. My girlfriend and I were in high school when this originally aired, and we used to swoon over Swayze's character 'Orry'. I still have this in my 80's movie collection - it's on VHS, but I still have it.

Sage Wildflowers Marie Bag

I managed to create this latest version of my Marie Bag over the weekend between NASCAR, baseball, football, and kids' homework. This version has a strap that adjusts from 24" to 44" in length. Once again I used decorator weight cotton fabrics. These are wonderful to use for purses and bags.

New Items In My Shop

Don't forget the Labor Day Weekend sale ends tonight!!

I have new items listed in my shop. Here is a small zippered pouch with a swivel clip, and a Robert/Kristen/Twilight/New Moon wristlet with detachable strap.

Rainy Saturday, Rainy Sunday

My plan was to stay in and sew on Saturday. I've been dreaming and craving sewing time all week. I only have weekends to sew now that the kids are in school and I am back to working part time. I have about 45 minutes free every afternoon before the kidlets return home and demand my time and attention.




My daughter has named this bag my 'four day purse', since that's how long it took to make it. I know I am anal about measuring, cutting, and sewing, but 4 days is just way too much time to spend on one bag.

Both of these bags are currently available in my Etsy shop. And I have tons of fabric to choose from, so if you want something different just send me a convo.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND SALE

Now through Monday
I am offering 15% off your entire order
I will be listing new items over the next few days
Be sure to enter 'Labor Day Sale' in the notes to seller area during checkout

On a completely unrelated note, I have officially placed my husband on the hunt for this magazine. I am so glad he encourages my obsessions!!! (I totally stole this photo from Twitarded!!)

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.
