Glo Sews Life

Well it is that time again, time for our annual trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  Atlantic Beach here we come!  This year I will have my one of a kind bag to take with me!  Super roomy and just my style! I started this travel bag in January, actually it was part of a Sew A Long and I was suppose to have it finished by Valentine's Day, but then I started sewing for Harper ( my grand-daughter that was born on the 11th of this month) and put the bag on the back burner for a while.  I am happy to say that it is finished now, just in time for the beach! Simplicity 0109 Suede Says Pattern made with double sided pre-quilted fabric I am happy with the final product, even if I am four months late getting it finished.  It is very roomy with two pockets inside, 2 zippered pockets on the front and one large pocket with Velcro closure on the back. I love the colors, and am really proud to be able to carry it when we go to the beach. It was a snap to sew an

Dad in his favorite place! Brand new Daddy Travis and his little bundle of joy, Harper I have to tell you guys that she is Here!  Harper Miette Headrick was born on Monday, June 11, 2012. 7lb. and 15 oz. 21 inches long and a lot of hair!  She is a precious little real live baby doll!

Now I have all three sons celebrating the glory of Fatherhood.  Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful fathers on this great big planet we all call home. I shared a very special moment with Harper on Wednesday. I guess I was already feeling a little nostalgic as Wednesday was the 40th anniversary of the death of my father.  As I was holding Harper and taking in all her precious little features, I realized she has the shape of my Dad's head.  It was a very emotional moment for me and I quietly sat there with her and enjoyed that special moment we were sharing.  My father passed away on the t

I realize it is not officially summer, but I have been taking it easy and enjoying my first week of summer break.  I know it has been a while since I last posted here, but sometimes I just have to be lazy and do nothing!  I know it isn't very productive, but it sure is enjoyable! I have not been so lazy that I have neglected my sewing!  I have made a large crib blanket and also a little dress and diaper cover for Harper. She will be joining us sometime this month, I can't wait to see that little bundle of joy! The dress I made was New Look number 6793.  Which is an adorable little dress that ties on the shoulders. I made a size small which fits up to 13 pounds.( shortly after I made it my  daughter-in-law found out by ultrasound that Harper already weighs 7lb. and 10 oz.  Oh my goodness!)  The pattern include some appliques, but I chose to machine embroider a butterfly on the front instead.  The appliques seemed a bit large to me.  I also chose the view that has n
