Trying to stock the store!

This weekend I got some time to sew. I got 3 blankets made and 2 mug rugs. All are in my store now. Check them out.

Here are a pic of each.

What do you think of the blankets on the fence? Bad staging? Unique? Need suggestions on a good staging for the blankets and the rugs too.

Etsy Shop - NOW OPEN!

Yes, I took the plunge and opened a shop on Etsy. I just have 4 blankets up right now but hope to add more items soon.

Take a look:

Dreaming of sewing

Well life has been busy and I don't get alot of "me" time so I haven't been able to sew much lately. I did buy some wonderful fabric in the last couple of weeks and I am itching to start playing.

Here is what I have bought so far. I am hoping to go back to my LQS today since they are having a sale. :)

I can't wait to use this fabric. I want to make ME a quilt with it. It is between a D9P or Stacked Coin pattern.

Oh I also bought both of the One Yard Wonder books; bought one at the store and ordered the other online. I hope it gets here next week. I already want to try the kids' chef hat and apron, the apron for me, maybe the chair, and who knows what else. lol

So anyone who reads this, what are your sewing plans for this Memorial Day weekend?

Little projects

I started a project for an end of the year gift for Ashlee's teachers. I need frames before I post a picture of them.

I did make Mom a mug rug today. She went through my little stash and picked out what she wanted. I didn't do a binding this go around. I thought it turned out cute and mom liked it so yay!

Also, Ashlee wore her newest skirt to school today. She looked so adorable. Mom had bought her the orange shirt and it went so well with it.

I got a new machine!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had found a machine on Craigslist but decided to go to the local sewing machine dealer to see what they had. They had a used Janome DC2011 with all the accessories! She is a beauty! Runs so smooth and quiet. I can't wait to get to sewing on her; more than little stitches on scraps. lol

I did pick up some fabric at Wal-Mart tonight; they had some on sale for $3/yd. Got 3 yards of a corduroy fabric and a quilted panel that just needs binding.

Here is my new machine! So excited!

95% done with Brandi's blanket!

Over the weekend, I got Brandi's quilt almost done. I just like the binding, which will have to wait until I get another weekend to sew. lol But here it is thus far.

Sewing Spree

Since Little Bit is with the grandparents this weekend, I decided to do some sewing. This morning I went to JoAnn's since they have their flannel on sale. I got enough for 3 receiving blankets. I also got a yardage to make Ashlee's 4th of July skirt and the June Tailor Shape Cut Ruler (yay for 50% coupon). I also got birdhouses to make this cute birdhouse for Mom for Mother's Day.

After I got home, I ate then started sewing. I got 2 blanket done and SOLD! Yes sold! My friend Rachel is going to buy them for her emboridery business. I told her I had to wash them first to make sure all seams are good. But yay!

Here are the blankets I made today. The girlie one is smaller than I meant for it to be but I am still no good at cutting a straight line and my cutting mat is messed up so it makes for cutting hard.

I am in love with the monkey blanket. Mom wants one...which I figured thus the reason I bought enough for 2 blankets. lol

Getting better at miter corners!

Next up is to make some Mug Rugs.

Update: Mug Rug made! Not perfect as I tried something different for the binding...next time I will stick with what I know. lol
