Finished birthday bags

Yesterday was Chloe's birthday party.  It went great!!  The bags that I made for the girls were a hit.  I think more of a hit with the moms than the girls.  I talked with a couple of the moms about doing som work for them and with them.  I need to think about how to get my ideas out there.  First I need business cards.  Use my blog as advertisment.  Pricing??????  Thats my big problem, I have no clue.YOU MUST HAVE A PLAN.  I hear my father in the back of my head..........

Snow Day and Chloe's 11th Bday

Birthday Bags

This bag was made for my cousins daughter.  The bag is made out of fabric for rain coats.  It feels great.  I ended up making 14 bags for all the girls attending Chloe's party.

I also made a "Happy Birthday" bunting.  It turned out great.   Ill post pics later.

winning

I havent posted in forever...  I have had several things to post but havent put the pictures from the camera to the computer.  (a Jeff job).  I know I need to learn.   Anywho...  I have gotten lucky with winning some great things on some blogs I follow.   I won some fabulous fabric from House on Hill Road.   She was so good to put colors and patterns together that I fell in love with.   My second win was from Bright, Bold, and Beautiful.  I won $100 to CSN stores.  I ordered things from there yesterday.  I ordered 3 things for school and a great iron candle holder.   I will post pictures ASAP.     I must go sew.  I have a bunch of people order embroidry, headbands, and other things.  

Fair Fun!!!!!

Goodbye to my Pappy....

This morning my last grandparent died.  Pappy, as my children called him, was a great man.  He was a man of the Lord.  He always put God first in his life.  He wasnt always a christian.  One of my favorite story told about him was when my father left for Vietnam.  Pappy prayed to God and promised him that if he brought my father back alive he would follow God the rest of his life.  He kept that promise.  He had nothing and always gave everything.  Pappy we will miss you.  May you rest iin the Lord.   He picture is on my post from Father's Day.

trouble with the sewing machine.....

I was in the middle of a project (towel wrap) and the bobbin goes all wacky.  Its now out of sync and will have to be fixed by a professional.    Not real happy about that.
