2011-08-29T12:42:00.001-05:00

I listed some new keys fobs and my cross shirts today!

Patchwork Cross Shirts

2009-11-04T08:24:00.004-06:00

Newest addition!
Patchwork cross shirts!
These shirts are so fun for me to make and very fun to wear!
I take lots of different fabrics and create a patchwork cross. Each one is different! No two will be just alike! They are also adorned with hot fix crystals giving them just a touch of bling. After washing the edges will fray just a bit giving it just a touch of worn effect. These shirts are $40 and available in S, M, L, XL. Very soft shirts in Black or Brown

A recent custom order

2009-10-26T20:38:00.005-05:00

A teacher at one of my daughter's school ordered this set.
A travel mug, sunglass case and not shown is a coordinating key fob

A few fun things to share!

2009-10-25T14:09:00.006-05:00

My poor blog has not seen me in awhile!

Thought I would share a couple recent things!

First this is a sports bottle I made for our neighbor for his birthday. He is a baseball nut! We gave him this and several packages of baseball cards.

This is a 1st birthday set I made for another little neighbor friend.

A pic from the summer....

2009-09-24T17:55:00.002-05:00

I forgot I hadn't shared this adorable picture of my two girls! While we were in the DFW area for our vacation I took them to the American Girl Store for lunch and a little shopping!

I made them and their dolls matching outfits. They looked so cute eating lunch with their dolls next to them.

Fun Cross Shirt

2009-09-22T23:15:00.003-05:00

I love shirts with crosses on them!

I was recently inspired to create this fun cross shirt from "some" of the fabrics I have on hand! :)
If you notice there are no two fabric "patches" alike on this!

It is accented with a few swavorski crystals to give that little touch of bling!

I have gotten comliments on it just about every time I have worn it! Let me know if you would be interested in ordering one of these unique shirts, I can promise that no two will be alike!

Pocket size tissue holder

2009-09-07T19:00:00.004-05:00

I have made quite a few of these little pocket tissue holders lately! These help keep your purse/pocket size packs of tissues neat and tidy and clean! These make great little gifts, especially paired with a matching key fob! My girls each have one in their backpacks. I also found some little packs of anti-bacterial wipes that will fit in the cases too!

Finally made a couple of things for myself!

2009-07-18T15:31:00.003-05:00

I was inspired by Aimee's post on her blog sewsensible last week! She posted a top (her post is here) that she had made for herself and I thought I should really make something for myself! She doesn't have a pattern for it, but I am hoping she releases one soon! (I already have some fabric picked out to make it too!)

I found a pattern somewhere else that I thought was cute and got busy! It reminded me of when I was in college and I would stay up half the night to make something so I could wear it the next day! This really didn't take long to sew up I just had other distractions that night!

I am stalking Aimee's blog to hopefully see one day that she is ready to release that pattern! :)
Here are pics of the tops I made: (disclaimer that my 11 yr old took these photos with my phone so the quality is not superb )

Added another new strap to my etsy shop!!

2009-07-07T12:45:00.002-05:00

LOVE these yummy Sandi Henderson Farmer's Market fabrics!! This one has minky lining! Very lush and soft on your neck!

I added 5 new straps.....

2009-07-01T23:41:00.005-05:00

to my etsy shop yesterday!

Pic heavy post to catch up!!!!

2009-06-30T11:57:00.007-05:00

Hello friends!! I hope everyone is having a GREAT summer!!! It has been incredibly busy at our house the last few weeks. We had all the usual end of year activities, then I jumped right into getting VBS decorations done. That was a lot of fun and I will have a better idea what we will need for next year!
Here are a few of the things I have been working on lately!

This was a towel for our little neighbor for her birthday. The top scoop is actually lime green and the pink is brighter IRL.Another towel for a friend's birthday! This is my favorite gift to give during the summer! This was the first 3D embroider I had done. Love the 3D flowers on this one!A cute little birthday cake for our neighbor that turned 5!I made these travel mugs for teacher/bus driver gifts. I ended up making I think 10 of these for my 2 girls teachers and their bus driver and then some for a friend for their teachers.A couple personalized key fobs for gifts.A personalized sunglass/glasses holder. This has padding and will hold large sunglasses!A golf towel for a friend for her dad for Father's Day! I have also done this design on a burp cloth.A couple of kitchen towels I did for my SIL for her newly re-done kitchen!!
As always if you see something on my blog that you like and would like to have made just for you, send me an email!!!

NEW Camera strap!!!

2009-05-24T20:29:00.003-05:00

Just finished this yummy camera strap and listed it in my etsy shop!

I have been wanting to try the minky for awhile and just had not taken the plunge! I had someone on etsy recently contact me about making them a strap with minky so thought now was as good a time as any!!!

I ABSOLUTELY love the way minky feels, it is so very soft!

Summer is right around the corner.....

2009-05-15T22:49:00.004-05:00

...well if you're in Texas it feels like it already is! I have made several beach/pool towels for my girls to give as gifts and a few as orders for friends to give as gifts also. This is such a cute and fun gift to give. I think the surfin' monkey is just TOO cute!!

Baby Girl Cuteness!!!!

2009-04-30T17:00:00.004-05:00

My cousin is having her baby shower on Sunday. I can't go but thought I could get something in the mail to my aunt so she could take it for me. So I made these cute little ensembles today! I so wish I had made stuff like this for my sweet girls! (Or I just wish mine weren't growing so fast!!!)

And the WINNER is...........

2009-04-25T12:11:00.002-05:00

I have not been too creative lately......

2009-04-15T08:08:00.004-05:00

I've been pretty busy lately with "stuff", but not super creative!

I just did a bunch of shirts for a friend's husband for his new business. Had his logo digitized and embroidered it on a bunch of polo shirts. That was fun to do something new and learned a ton from it! I forgot to take any pics of them so when I do some more I'll have to snap some then!

I made these cute burp cloths for my neighbor for her to give at a shower. Love the pink and brown and this may be my new favorite font!!

My oldest turned 11 yesterday!!! We are re-doing her room for her birthday present! I bought a cute headboard/footboard yesterday off craigslist that we are going to paint for her. I'll make her a quilt/comforter. I'm still working on coming up with all the fabrics. I'm using a PB teen one as my inspiration! I'll try to post pics as I go along.

Time for a quick update......(PIC HEAVY!!!)

2009-03-18T10:34:00.010-05:00

Where does the time go!!!!?????
I can't believe it has been almost a month since I posted on here!! Shame on me!
I have been keeping busy with lots of orders!! Thanks to everyone that has ordered straps, etc. from my etsy shop!!
I have added a few new straps lately and am working on a few more new styles.
Let's see, over the last month I have made a couple tote bags for birthday gifts for friends of my youngest daughter, I appliqued some Disney stuff for my sister-in-law and her family for their trip to Disney (hope they are having fun there right now!), made a spa towel wrap for older daughter's friend, made a tennis towel for my SIL!
Here's pics of most of them !

Cute Lil Monster!

2009-02-19T16:59:00.003-06:00

This is such a cute little tag monster made for my very cute neighbor!

Been having so much fun with my new toy, haven't posted in awhile!!!

2009-02-18T21:53:00.004-06:00

As I posted before (yes way before!! didn't realize how long it had been since I posted!!) I got a new embroidery only machine for my birthday/Christmas. I really have been having so much fun with it!! I have been perusing some great embroidery sites, including this GREAT forum that I found: sewforum.com
It has been great for asking questions and there a ton of SUPER talented people on there that are so generous to share their designs that they have digistized.
I made the girls, my niece and my little neighbor some really cute shirts for Valentine's.

New straps and a T-shirt

2009-01-18T22:55:00.006-06:00

I've recently added some new camera straps to my etsy shop. I simply cannot resist all the new fabrics that I have seen at the stores!!!
Here is just a sampling of a couple of them. I recently made this t-shirt at the request of a friend. I loved the idea so much I made one for myself in just a little bit different fabric selections. I know everytime I wear mine I get compliments on it, I may have to add some of these to my etsy shop. (I added a close up pic so you could hopefully see the hot fix swavorski crystals on it)

A few new things for the NEW year.....

2009-01-09T16:54:00.004-06:00

Christmas was a busy time!! Right before Christmas I received my birthday/Christmas present!!! A Brother embroidery only machine!!!! It is so VERY fun to play with and make fun things!!! It didn't take me long to start embroidering and appliqueing things!!! I found a great forum where so many sweet ladies share their designs!! I did kitchen towels for the girls teachers for Christmas gifts, I think they liked them. I did not get the best pictures of them but you can get the idea!

I made the girls shirts with this cute Santa "stamp" and embellished with hot fix crystals.

I've been having a lot of fun "playing" with my new toy!

I have some new camera straps in my shop!

Long time no update.......tis the season!

2008-12-13T21:48:00.003-06:00

Life has been crazy as usual! That should be no excuse for not updating! (And this has turned into a VERY long post!!)

It seems like December 1st gets here and all heck breaks loose with all kinds of things to do! Neighborhood Christmas parties, Bunco parties, gearing up for the kid's class parties, I know I am not the only one!

We were able to go last weekend down to Bolivar with a group from our church to help with a Christmas Celebration at one of the Methodist Churches there. My husband had been down there one Saturday helping with some clean up efforts and been able to see it first hand, but this was the first time for the girls and I. SO very sad to see it with my own eyes. I knew it was bad, but as we got farther in on the peninsula and was able to see some of the places that we have frequented for the last 3 summers, I cried! Yes, I was sad about it, but I was crying for all that was lost there, the loss of so very much!! Bolivar will always be a special place for us, we have so many good memories there. The people that we encountered each time we were there were always so friendly and nice. Bolivar will come back, it will just take time and lots of prayer!

Here is just one of the pics I took, this is where the beach house stood that we had rented the last 2 summers. It was 3rd row. Nothing left but the slab. The man that owned this lost his three other houses as well.

Oh and it SNOWED here on Wednesday!!! In HOUSTON we had SNOW!!!!!!!!! I don't know who was more excited me or the kids!

Here are a few projects that I have been working on.

This is a pillowcase that my oldest gave her sweet friend for her birthday last week. This is different than the ones I had done before but LOVE it so much better than the others!!!

A few small zip pouch/key fob combos that a friend ordered to give as teacher gifts. You can find all of these in my my etsy shop

This is a cute little Christmas card case. Perfect to give a gift card in or hold your business cards or credit cards, also in my etsy shop. I made this towel and pot holder set to take for the gift exchange at the neighborhood ladies Christmas party.
These towels I'm keeping for ME!!

And the WINNER is................

2008-11-29T15:31:00.001-06:00

Carey email me your address and I will put your prize in the mail to you on Monday!!!

New Camera Strap!

2008-11-22T22:33:00.006-06:00

I recently made this camera strap to add to my etsy shop. It is made with 12 different Amy Butler and Heather Bailey fabrics. It is usually so hard for me to pick just one fabric for something so this time I just used all 12!! Oh and this one has a PINK nylon webbing strap to attach to your camera instead of the normal black, FUN!!
This second strap was a custom order for a customer in Hawaii for her son, I thought these fabrics were perfect!

KEY FOBS and CARD CASES GALORE!!!

2008-11-20T08:03:00.004-06:00

I have been bad about updating lately, it's just been so crazy!

There are way too many projects I would like to do and not enough time or energy!!! :) (I just need longer days!!)

Here are some key fobs that I have made recently and some of the card cases I did for an order.
Both of these items make GREAT gifts! A friend just bought a few of the key fobs that she is going to tie on the top of presents. I love using mine! It really helps if I have my hands full, I have that on my wrist already and can easily unlock my car without having to dig in my purse!

The card cases have MULTIPLE uses!! You can use them for your business cards, carry your credit cards/ID, or give that special someone a gift card in a cute "envelope" they can re-use!!! My daughters use one in their lunch boxes to hold their ice cream money so it doesn't scatter all over the place.

This is just a small sampling of the ones I did for this order and have some available in my etsy shop!

I haven't been posting much latey.........

2008-11-16T20:12:00.005-06:00

but I have been busy sewing!

My youngest daughter's birthday party was last weekend and we had her party here at home. We could not have asked for more perfect weather for her backyard carnival birthday party!!

I didn't get pictures of them but I made the party favor bags out of some cute fun fabric I found at wal-mart. And then I decided that I was not going to pay $20 for a plastic pennant flag thing to string up outside along the path to the backyard so I made one of those too! I made one for under $5! I will have to pull them out and take pics later they all turned out so cute!

I embellished an outfit for my daughter as part of her birthday present. She had kind of helped pick out the fabrics that I would use, Farmer's Market by Sandi Henderson. I absolutely love these fabrics, they are so bright and vivid!!

I will post some more tomorrow on the other things that I have been busy making!

Thanks for visiting!!!

In Loving Memory...

2008-11-05T14:20:00.001-06:00

My Grandmother passed away on Sunday, October 26th. She was 91 years old! She lived at home until last December. I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days visiting with her the week before she died. My Grandmother and Grandad raised my brother and I, so she was more like my mother than Grandmother. She was an excellent seamstress and who I learned a lot of my sewing skills from. I know she had me rip out many stitches!!! I am so very sad to have lost her but know that she is no longer in pain and now gets to see the Lord!!

New camera strap and zip pouch set

2008-10-22T16:37:00.006-05:00

I am usually a procrastinator, yes almost always, but I actually finished up my sweet SIL's birthday present before her birthday!! But we didn't get to get together to celebrate til today.

I made her a custom camera strap, it's made with fabric that is from Basic Grey Urban Couture line. They make the fabulous scrapbook papers that we are always drooling over!!!

And I also made her a zip pouch and matching key fob out of this great B&W damask print fabric.

I think she liked her gift!!! I told it couldn't be returned!!! :)

Two new zip pouches!

2008-10-13T17:09:00.002-05:00

I have these two new zip pouches listed in my etsy shop.

These are such fun prints from Heidi Grace. I love the little birds! These zip pouches are great for so many things!! For your cosmetics, personal products, ipod, camera, your cash and cards, the list could go on!!!

Finally made something for myself!

2008-10-12T15:42:00.004-05:00

Well, I finally decided it was time to actually make something for myself! I recently started a Bible study at my church. We are doing the Beth Moore "Stepping Up". It is a great one so far!

So I thought it would be good for me to have a bag that I could use just for keeping my Bible study materials in.

I found this beautiful Amy Butler and Heather Bailey fabric at a local shop the other day and a friend that was with me pointed out the cross fabric! Perfect for this project!

I really liked the way this one turned out and am so excited that I actually get to keep and use this one!

It's time for some FOOTBALL -- a football purse that is!

2008-10-10T19:59:00.003-05:00

A sweet lady that bought a purse from me several months ago so the Baseball purse that I had made and requested a football one!
So now she is ready to show her love of football in style!!

BIG brother t-shirt!

2008-10-09T22:17:00.004-05:00

I loved the onesie that I just made so much I thought I would use the same fabric to make a BIG brother shirt!

This shirt was for the little boy that list next door. He just became a BIG brother last week!

This is a pillowcase that I had made recently using the same fabric. So bright and cheery!

Something fun for a little one!

2008-10-06T15:54:00.004-05:00

I made this custom onesie for a customer.

This thing is so stinkin' cute!! I told my girls the other day they need to go back to being little again so I can dress them up in all these cute clothes!!!

TWO NEW CAMERA STRAPS!

2008-10-05T14:21:00.004-05:00

I've been working on a few new camera straps in between some other orders.

This first one is a OOAK strap! This was a custom order and there will not be another like this one! I had just these squares of this fabric. It is Amy Butler Midwest Modern line of fabrics.

This second one will be showing up in my shop today! It is done with fabrics from the Urban Chicks "Summer in the City" fabric line from Moda.

Biker Burp Cloths

2008-10-05T14:13:00.002-05:00

I made these burp cloths for a friend in my bunco group. I am going to go back and add the babies name now that he is here!

I thought these "biker" prints were too cute!

Trying to get back to "normal" after IKE!

2008-09-25T07:33:00.002-05:00

I've been just trying to get back to some sort of "normal" since IKE hit. We were so very lucky to not receive too much damage from the hurricane that caused so much devastation. We lost about a dozen shingles off the roof so we have the insurance adjuster coming to inspect that. Our beautiful weeping willow tree was just about shredded on half of it, we still haven't decided if we are going to take it completely out or see if it will come back. And of course like so many others, we lost everything that was in our fridge and deep freeze. We were w/o electricity for 4 1/2 days, again very lucky as some around us are still w/o it!!

I've tried to do a few little sewing projects when I have had just a little bit of time. I had made my friend the camera strap that I posted about earlier and needed to mail that to her so I went ahead and made a dog collar for her dog and a little zip pouch and key fob for her mom(my friend too!!). For the zipper pouch and fob I used fabrics that we had picked out for me to make a purse for her. Her birthday was recently so I thought this was a good gift for her and for her to see how the fabrics looked in person together. I also sent a couple card cases to put her business cards in for her new paper crafting business.

A couple new pretties--for the dog and your camera!!

2008-09-08T19:12:00.005-05:00

I have seen camera straps made before and wanted to make some myself but could never find the hardware! I finally found it the other day and ordered some! It was waiting for me when I got home yesterday after my weekend getaway! So today I made this camera strap for myself!(or if my dear friend likes it I am sending it to her!!!) Love all these Amy Butler fabrics. There are ten different fabrics making up this comfy strap!

On Sunday I made a dog collar for our sweet dog Sparkle! This was just a quick one to try it out! And trying to get the dog to sit still for a picture was FUN!!!

Look for both these items to show up in some form or another in my etsy shop soon!

And the WINNER is.........

2008-08-31T23:10:00.003-05:00

I used a random number generator online and the # it picked was 4!

So Lauren you get your choice of the second card case!!!!

and then I thought, hmmm why not go ahead and give all 3 of them away!!!

So the next # chosen was 5.
Brenda pciked the first card case as her favorite!

And the last picked was # 2! CAT said #3 was her favorite!!!

to post pictures of this great bag I custom made for Lisa! I wanted to make sure she was able to see it first before I showed everyone else on here! Lisa contacted me through my blog about possibly making her a custom bag. She is a Wedding Planner in Puerto Rico!!! Her job sounds like so much fun!!! Here's her blog: Puerto Rico Wedding Planner
She told me the things that were important to her and after emailing back and forth for a bit we settled on some design ideas and fabrics. She wanted a tote to carry her laptop, keys, emergency wedding kit, water bottle, cell phone, etc. So she ordered a lg tote, cosmetic bag, & key fob, all monogrammed with her business name. She will look fabulous going to her meetings and weddings. Lisa was so sweet to work with and so patient when there was a delay in getting her bag to her, I included a spcial gift for her, a wallet. Oh and check out the matching pens!!!

Something new and my first GIVEAWAY!!!

2008-08-24T22:51:00.000-05:00

I've seen these little card cases/mini pouch and thought they were so cute and functional. You can use them to store your business cards, carry your credit cards and use them to present a gift card to some lucky recipient. I finally made my first one yesterday. And made two more! These are so fun to make! All three of these are made with Sis Boom fabrics by Jennifer Paganelli, such fun, pretty fabrics! I will definitely be making these to put in my etsy shop. I'm also working on coming up with a smaller wallet with card slots and a coin pouch.
And now here is the GIVEAWAY part! Leave me comment and let me know which of these 3 card cases you like the best and what you would use one for. Next Sunday(8/31)at 10pm(CT) I will draw a winner to receive their favorite one!!
Thanks for looking and have a GREAT week!!!

RAG QUILT for a special lady!

2008-08-09T14:32:00.000-05:00

This is a rag quilt that my girls and I made for my great aunt (their great-great aunt) for her birthday. She turned 80 on 8-8-08!!!!

ZIP POUCHES & KEY FOBS!!

2008-07-25T09:16:00.000-05:00

These are some fun zip pouches and matching key fobs made for a custom order!

These are approximately 5x8 and lined with a coordinating fabric.

This one was a gift with purchase I gave with this custom order. I LOVE these fabrics! This one was little bit bigger.

PAJAMA PANTS!!!!

2008-07-24T22:30:00.001-05:00

We spent our on and off rainy day sewing!
This is another SEWSENSIBLE pattern, BOUTIQUE BOTTOMS FOR TEENS & TWEENS
This is a very versatile pattern! Makes great pants as well as capris, pajama pants and probably shorts!
I made younger DDs pants with the pink camo frog print she picked out!
Older DD made her pants pretty much all by herself! She used the Disney fairy fabric she picked out.
She is 10 and has done some sewing before but this is the first garment she has made! She loved doing it and was a super easy project for her to start on!

Boutique Bottoms for Teens & Tweens pattern by Sewsensible

2008-07-20T15:33:00.000-05:00

I was finally able to get these made last night! I just had not had time to get them done! This is a pattern designed by Aimee' of Sewsensible. This is a new one, actually she has this pattern already but in the smaller sizes. I was able to test this one out for her. The top was a McCalls pattern.

My review of this after testing it is that the fit is GREAT and it could not be easier to make!

BOUTIQUE BOTTOMS FOR TEENS & TWEENS

A few months ago I made her FAITH TOP for my younger daughter and it too was very easy to make!

Cool towel & tote!

2008-07-12T22:04:00.000-05:00

My oldest daughter's friend had a pool party yesterday, so I made her this towel and tote bag for DD to take to her. She was glad to have a towel that nobody else could borrow!

I made this tote for a birthday gift for one of DD's good friends. She likes blue and brown, so this was perfect for her. I also made her a pillowcase with her name appliqued with these same fabrics.

A few new towels!

2008-07-07T17:09:00.000-05:00

I just finished up these towels for a friend. She had me make the two beach towels for her nephews and the two hand towels are for her parents. I love the way they turned out, I may have to make a hand towel similar to that for our powder bath.

FUN baseball purse

2008-06-14T16:55:00.000-05:00

This is a fun baseball purse I made for my neighbor! Both of her kids are now playing baseball, so she thought it would be cool to have a purse made with baseball fabric to tote to the many games! I thought it turned out really cute!
This was my first purse to do an enclosed zipper pocket!

I made her a matching key fob also!
