Best Laid Plans


I had so many great plans for today.  I had planned on a day of sewing and creating but it seems other things were in store for me.  I woke up this morning with a terrible cold.  I have  done very little except lie around the house feeling pretty sorry for myself!  I hate colds and with this one my left eye and left nostril are constantly pouring hot water!  Miserable is the only word to describe it.  Guess it could be worse, it could be the flu, but I have had my flu shot( have one every year) sure wish they would come up with a cold shot, I would be one of the first in line!  The  fear of "dripping" on my fabric has forced me to put my sewing on hold, plus my patience tends to run short when I feel bad!  I guess I will just post a couple of things going on and some neat things I have found while surfing the net.

My 13 year old grand-daughter has recently changed schools and her new school doesn't have a dress code, the school she left had a strictly enforced dress code so she wasn't able to wear "creative" clothing.  I recently ordered the BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook and it has some really cute things that I think Anna will really like.
I love Burda, I think they have great fashions for teenagers.  I Can't wait to get this book.



How cute are these Pennie Pockets, I found them along with the complete directions on Moda Bake Shop.

I think these would make a great gift for my children and grandchildren. Make them and fill them with special treats, what a great idea.

Another cute project I found was Heart shaped zippered pouches.  You can find this project plus 20 other great Valentine projects on the All Free Sewing website.  This website also has a free ebook download that has 7 easy Valentine sewing Projects  complete with instructions.  It is really a great website for the beginner or experienced seamstress searching for easy and quick sewing projects!

 If you do not already have a few Valentine ideas, check out the mentioned websites, you just might find something you like!


Going to go now and either feed my cold or starve my cold, can't remember exactly how that ole saying goes.  Hope you all have a great weekend, with no colds!

Happy Sewing!

Happy Halloween and Meet Me On Monday!

Image
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Halloween.  I probably won't have many trick or treaters as no one in my neighborhood seems to celebrate Halloween.  Most do not  have a jack-o-lantern or even turn on their porch lights! All my grands live in a different city so I won't get to see them either, but I will get lots of photos of them from my kids!  Some of those photos have already started and I am going to share those with you, I come from a very... talented family! This is my little Granddaughter Hanne. She is a really cute and scary witch! This is my wonderful daughter-in-law Christa, dressed up as Marie Antoinette. She is rather beautiful all bloody and what not! Love her! This is my niece Brandy dressed in my sister's prom dress from 1964! She is a Prom Queen Zombie! I told you my family was..uhh..talented! LOL Hope you all have enjoyed the photos and hope everyone has a terrific Halloween! Happy Halloween! Meet Me On Monday I a

Pillow Talk and The Week in Review

Image
Sunday, 11-6-11 This week has been an awesome week. On a personal note, I was able to finally download all the music and videos I had on my Ipod Nano 3rd generation to my new Ipod Touch. I have to say that this is something I have been working on for weeks, but last night a light bulb went off and I realized it had been right in front of me all the time! Oh well! Halloween went a lot better this year, I had 3 spooky visitors.  When compared to last year, that is 3 times more! I also had an awesome invitation from Michelle over at  Heartfelt Balance / Handmade Life  to be the featured blogger on her  Sit and Relax Weekend Hop !  I am so very happy and excited about this and would like to publicly thank Michelle for this honor!  Sure hope everyone will visit her blog and check out the hop which will go live at 10 pm on Thursday (11-10-11). Now for the project for this past weeek: Last month I was picking my brain trying to come up with something to make each of my grand

Quilts For Kids

Image
Quilts For Kids : I was watching Sewing With Nancy last week and she featured this charity,  Quilts For Kids . It is a charity that seeks volunteers to make and donate quilts to children with a serious illness or that suffer from abuse.   I think this is such a wonderful idea, and can't wait to get started on a quilt to donate.  I can't think of a better thing to do this holiday season then to donate a hand made quilt that will give comfort over and over again to a child in need.  I hope everyone will check out this website and think about donating a quilt.  They will even send you a free kit!  How can anyone say no to that!
