A Place To Call My Own...

Hubby and I have had our new home for just over a 
year now... what a transformation we have under took.

Must admit, the living room has been changed around a 
time or two,  including our bed room and I've finally decided
on a color for my Studio/Sewing Room/Craft Room.

The Color is Witch's Brew from Valspar, it is
so soft and calming.... still have some organizing
to do, but so far, I'm loving my space!






My ironing board?? I took an old Entertainment 
Center, sanded it down, and painted it White.
Hubby cut a sheet of counter top, I can't recall
the name of it, it goes under the laminate...
Anyway, I padded it with a few layers of 
Batting, made a top to match the decor
and tada' and Ironing Board!








By accident My cutting Table/Desk is in the middle of 
room.... I had to move it to paint the
wall and it just looked so dang good
there............. lol and talk
about functional! 






On The opposite side of the cutting table/desk
I pulled a shelf down from where I store fabric 
(which still needs organized) :-) placed it on it's
side, added fabric drawers and now it's a fully
functional walk around cutting table.




We did get the outside painted, new windows put in
the deck is built on the front.... we've begun
construction on the West side for another deck,
Too many things to list, but I can't wait until
This Spring/Summer when we can get more done.


Oh, what I'm most excited about?? We are going to 
build a Chicken Coop.... I've always' wanted our own
Chickens...... Our Property is small, but it's
zoned for livestock!! So you can count on us
building a Barn for a Cow or two..

It's like getting a brand new house with every 
improvement...... 

So life is good and busy...

What's New...

Spring might as well be here already....
Cause it's been gorgeous the last
two day's.... Besides the temps being
in the 20's early in the morning ~ burrrrrr


I've been so busy with re~doing my sewing room
(I will show you when everything is done)
I've not listed and/or made new things
to put up in my shop! And boy the numbers
sure have not been adding up lately!! :o)

So today I stopped what I was doing and
made a couple Zippered Pouches...

You can use them for pencils or would be
perfect for the girls to put their
fun stuff in to carry off to school...

Here is just a sample of what I've been up too
I made another set of the S.E.W. with some
scrap fabric, but got some gorgeous fabric
by Kate and Birdie, it's called
Bluebird Park for Moda...
Made a patch valance out of several
fat quarters from it, and decided I needed to
change the S.E.W. to match..... 


and I just had to make a couple pouches for
the shop out of it.



Going to be trying my hand at making UnPaper towels soon,
with the other colors from this collection as well 
for my other shop!!

So busy day's ahead... with the weather
cooperating it's gong to be hard to stay inside.
But I am determined to make a go of this
other shop, just got to get my buns a movin'....


Hope your day is filled with sunshine and fun!!

Snack Bags anyone......

Snack bags are so fun to use and very user friendly....
I see alot of them with Velcro, I think it's up to each individuals preference,
but from my experience, Velcro can simply be a pain in the butt!

Over time, you get lint, food, all kinds of goodies stuck to the Velcro,
it doesn't really matter how many times you clean it, Velcro is a 'collector'.

While my Grand Kids were living in AZ. last year, I made them some....
and I was hooked. They are so cute sticking their little hands inside and 
pulling out what ever Mama had packed for them.

Oh and they are super easy to clean... just pull out the lining and wipe clean, when
they are heavily soiled just pop them in the wash and let them air dry. Easy Peasy!!


Here are just a few you can find in my SHOP that are already made and ready
to be shipped....





Just imagine your favorite fabric used in these great snack
bags that can be made into any size.... and can be 
used over and over and over again!!

No more Ziploc baggies.... :o)




What they don't tell you...........

Have you been thinking about
opening up an Etsy Shop??

This say's it all....

Already have an Etsy shop??
Then you'll totally get it and maybe
add a few steps of your own.... lol

WARNING!!

The 'F' word is used once... :o)


The End!!

The Beginning

Dec. 26th 2013 I opened my new (other) Etsy shop!

imagiNANAtion

OMW, it's been a complete blast working with fabrics 
intended for kids only!

When ever my grand daughters come over, they always want
to make bracelets or necklaces with my bead collection! More recently
MJ, the oldest (she is 6) wanted to learn how to sew, I cannot begin
to tell you how much of a joy it was having her sit on my lap while we
ran the sewing machine together, she's got the knack for it!!



Here is just one bracelet Abby made for her and I....
She did good!! :-)




The hard part about having to work another shop
for kids only... welp, it's the fact that there are just waaaay
to many adorable fabrics and ideas running through
my head and not enough time, space or money
to create everything, but you just wait and 
see, my new little shop will 
be busting at the seams.... no pun intended... lol

Sew if your in the neighborhood, I'd love for you to stop by 
and check out my new digs.... 

is open 24 hours a day 7 day's a week!

Here are just a few of the things either already there
or will be posted real soon: 



Wet Bags

Snack Bags 


Little Girls Purse 


Burp Cloths


As you can see, there is a variety of fun stuff and more
sure to come in the near future....



((((( Hug your little ones often ))))

They soon grow up to be adults!! Boooo ♥♥
