Up coming items!

Here is some insider information for those of you who follow my blog.....


Monday I will be adding a tote bags set. "Mommy and Me" Halloween tote bags. This is the first of 4 that I plan to do. Both bags are structured. Mommies bag is larger following the dimensions of my other tote bags and will have 3 pockets inside. Child's bag is also structured with two straps for handles made wide for comfort. This second bags girth is made an inch larger than moms. It also has a pocket but it is on the outside. Great for a cell phone, pens, crayons......their imagination is the limit. They can use the bag for school, toys in the car, all while being festive during the season and then use it for trick or treating! What a kick they will get out of having a bag just like moms!

Have you seen my new Spa Facial Scrubby? If you haven't then you better get over there! This week, homeschool allowing, I will be adding some white ones! Safe to bleach of you need to. Don't get me wrong, I love color but sometimes you want everything in your bathroom to coordinate and nothing does that better than white. I will also be adding listings for more than one scrubby so be on the look out. You can always convo me though. :)

And last I am working on cloth napkins that add the coming home feeling back into your kitchen! Made of some glorious prints and very nice absorbent cotton. I may even make some wipe clean coasters to match!

As you can see this weekend has been an inspiring one full of ideas. Happy shopping!

Staying on track......

This is something that I will admit I am pretty horrible at. Hence all the lists. On my list still, to crochet those 3 white cloths and photo them! See, horrible. Good thing God and can forgive (and that no one had ordered them).

So what did I find so much more intersting then cloths?

I love a challenge and if I can learn something new, even better. I have come to really appreciate the internet. For example, these last two days I learned how to make a crochet and fabric dress. Something I have never done before. I do not have a serger so I learned how to finish a raw edge (I don't have pinking (sp?) shears either) with a special stitch on my machine. Then I also learned how to make ruffles with machine basting stitches......too technical? I have now decided that while I can live without the serger, I really really want a ruffler foot for my machine. Yeah internet.



Here is the finished product. It turned out so good and since I also was able to figure out how to machine sew the crochet bodice to the woven fabric skirt, it will stand the test of my friend's daughter. Here is a picture of my daughter wearing it. Yes it was in the morning and finishing the dress was more important than brushing hair this morning. At least I was able to put aside my artistic tendecies to make them breakfast. :)

And if all that wasn't enough to be proud of myself for..........my hubby was impressed! I heard a WOW hun, that looks really good. Then he had to touch it so I know he liked it. Score one for the girls back home! (my 8 year old latest phrase)
