Glo Sews Life

Me and my girls! Christmas has come and gone, and a brand New Year is on the way.  Hope your Christmas was Merry and Bright!   I had a wonderful Christmas.  Nothing is better than spending such a special holiday with family!   I love this time of year and having my family near is such a huge part of it! cousins rough housing with Uncle Zac The Grands all seemed to love their gifts and enjoyed visiting with the cousins and aunts and uncles!  The adults seemed to love their gifts too!  I have to admit  I loved mine!  I have been without a DVD player forever, I have been watching movies on my small laptop, well thanks to my son and daughter-in-law to be, I can now watch them on my big TV.  How nice that is! I also received a Kindle Fire! Wow, thanks kids! How great is that. I have been wanting one since Amazon announced the release date. I have a kindle, but it does not display in color, now I can get magazines and actually see ...

This summer I have taken part in two sew-a-longs with Simplicity on Facebook.  One was a zippered skirt sew-a-long and one was a summer tote sew-a-long.  They were both great and I really enjoyed them.  The camaraderie between the members is fantastic and everyone is so very encouraging.

Thanks to Lori at Monkeyroom,( my blog post from July 3rd) I found the pincushion I had been looking for.  After reading her tutorial, I  was hooked and had to try one and put my spin on it.  I pretty much followed her directions, but I used a ribbon to hold the thread and I also placed a pocket on the bottom to hold a pack of sewing needles. I made one that is 10 inches and one that is 8 inches.  I did use the elastic to hold the thread on the 8 inch size, but I do believe that I prefer the  one with the pocket and the ribbon.(the 10 inch cushion)
