Berry Shades

Apartment living sure is diferent than the single family home I'm used to. Turns out my business cards are here. They sat up at the front office for nearly a week, but at least they were safe :). I'm trying out a new design for now. Think they came out pretty cute..

Half of my fabric stack came in for the Color Wheel Swap as well! Totally gorgeous in person! These are the ones I'm sending in..

I was assigned red-"of all the colors in all the world". It's one of my favorites ;D. I just had to include an extra Lizzy House Pearl Bracelet for myself also (teehee). What's a girl supposed to do? Just keep shopping right past it??..



Totally in love with them :B. I can't wait for the other half to be home, Eeeek!

Now just to pick up my turbo-tiny totally unorganized sewing area...

What a mess, and way to small -really. I miss my own sewing room :(. BUT good things to come later on!
I also got flowers from my Handsome Hubby ;D..



Aren't they adorable? He's going away on a hunting trip this weekend, so we'll be missing him.

I guess I'll have to spend my time sewing ..and shopping for sewing supplies. Darn! Hm.. Berry shades seem to be my color this week, LOVE that! What are you doing this weekend??

Ob-ses-sing

I've been obsessing about the Sewing Summit that happened in Salt Lake City, Utah this past weekend! Literally ob-ses-sing folks! I stalked the Instagram, nad just about all of my favorite bloggers who went!
I didn't get to go this year, as I was 4 measly hours shy and they sold out. BOO on that! But you better believe I'll be there next year!

As I was pouring over all those photos, swags, and prizes, out came all of my sewing supplies and away I went! I was able to get the first 1/3 of my quilt top done..

..and then Samy came in :P! Lol! Hungry and ready for lunch. We had to make a trip to the fabric store anyway, so we made our way out the door for lunch..



He was one happy camper, look at that smile haha!! Here's what I had..



Mexican Lime Grilled Talapia



Tasty! Now that everybodys' belly was full, off we went to the fabric store! Would you believe I showed up during a 50% off sell?? WOOHOO!! I also had a gift card I'd been itching to use. After a little looking around, I decided to get me some decent fabric scissors. Now, I've never had anything but the walmart plastic handle type, so forgive me -but these are AWESOME..



Gingher spring-action shears! Oooooo!! Now these are dressmaker shears, and I'll probably Never-ever make any type of clothing, but these babys' cut through fabric like BUTTA!!! I LOVE them!

Hopefully I can get back to sewing, and I can get some items done for next years Sewing Summit Eeek! So Thank You Sewing Summit for lighting a fire under my bum, so I can be ready for next year!

OH! I've also been cleaning up my blog. Have you noticed?? Pretty cute so far I think :). A little more work and I'll be the happy camper ;D!

Stuck @ Home

Home. Again. My old 76 Chevy Pickup wouldn't start up this morning for the millionth time because of the cold weather. That means no errands, no groceries, no doc appointmernts. Nothing gets done. Grrrr! These are the days I do not like people. 

 After walking around my apartment in circles (upset), I started snapping a few shots as to what I've been up to so far this week. Just get a bit of perspective on what needs to be done around here. So after the snapshots of my dirty dishes, laundry, vacuuming, etc etc. I noticed a few things I've been working on, and it made me smile. Wanna see?

 READY -Set -Go!

Reorganized my VS FQs

Reorganized my VS Pillowcases

 BREAK FOR LUNCH ;D

(the girl from ipanema tune comes to mind here)

Left over Ceviche, YUM

Fiddled with possible fabric choices

 

Reorganized my sewing corner



Laid out my first quilt top in what seems to be months!

                                      

Added more Pyrex to my China Hutch

After messing around with all my favorite things, the day wasn't so bad after all :D. I just needed to remind myself of all the things I love when I choose to be home!

Happy Days To You All!!

Wonder Women

Guess what I did over the weekend? Got my Etsy Shop up and running, WoopWoop! Ok maybe it didn't really deserve a "woopwoop", but I was in the moment so there it is. My entire collection of vintage sheets are ready for purchase for all you sewing-quilting-project making Wonder Momas out there ;D.

Speaking of these Wonder Women, I got to thinking. Now if I could just get myself to turn into a Wonder Moma when needed, all my projects would be done in a flash! BUT let's get realistic. I'm no where near becoming a Wonder Moma people! I'm a First-time Moma, with no idea on how you even begin becoming one.

I have a lot of respect for those Ladies. You know the type. Up at the crack of dawn, squeezes in a quick workout, showers, gets dressed and looking beautiful before breakfast, then COOKS breakfast, feeds the family, cleans up, dresses the children, sends everybody off to work/school with a shower of kisses, goes to work, after work picks up the kids from school, comes home & cooks supper, cleans up, makes sure the children's school work is done, squeezes in some quality time for each and every member of the family -with another dose of kiss showers, gets them all ready for bed, showers, and calls it a day. WHEEEW!! It's tiring just thinking about it. RESPECT!

Not at ALL how MY day goes. I'm lucky to be out of bed by 8am, dragging my dead tired body to my bathroom to freshen up, stumble to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone, throw dishes at the dishwasher, start it up, bathe & dress my Samy, and finally have a chance to shower, slap on some war paint, jump start my brain (with Starbucks if I'm lucky), and get my day started.

My Moma was a Single Mother raising 4 -that's right FOUR Girls, had TWO Jobs, and still got everything done around the house. How could I not respect a woman who can carry a load like that? My Grandmother -she had NINE children. Nuff said. I LOVE that Woman. If it weren't for these Women, I would not be the Lady I am today. I attribute all my good characteristics and values to these two wonderful Women ;D

LOVE YOU BOTH!!

This family thing is serious business folks. Sure you can take shortcuts, but I'm the type who feels like I'm short-changing my family if I do so. There must be some kind of support group for that, right? Newhoo!

Heres' to You Wonder Momas!
