Glasgow! Bring Me A Fabric Store!

Here are a few of the things I've been busy making recently:

To see the other items, just check out my Etsy shop.

Lilly had an appointment at the beauty shop on Wednesday. I think she knows she looks good...

She's the sweetest little thing, EVER! I love her so much and she inspires me so much.

I've been in a poo mood since around 3 this afternoon when I decided I wanted to make a quilt with some fabrics I've had forever. Problem? No black flannel. Sure, if I lived in the big 'ole town of Bowling Green or wherever else, I could have just hopped in my car and went and got some. Thing is, there are 2 fabric shops here and neither of them carry flannel, one store supposedly had light pink flannel but it was almost $5 a yard, that's nuts. She tried convincing me that I could just use felt?! I didn't need felt!!! I think I know what I need to make what I want to make. Right?

I was disappointed for 2.5 seconds until I received an e-mail from Hancock Fabrics about their huge sale they're having tomorrow. So now, we're getting up bright and early to make it there so that the one main thing I want isn't gone, is it flannel? No. I now realize I have an attention span the size of a 2 year old. Will I get the previously mentioned black flannel though? Duh!

Me having an attention span the size of a 2 year old becomes a problem when I constantly start projects and don't finish them. Stopping a project results in a new project which then results in an excuse for me to buy new fabric - yum! feeding my fabric addiction. My dear boyfriend doesn't say yum!, he says yuck! while my fabric addiction is depleting his wallet of mucho $.

The time will come either tomorrow during the day or first thing Monday morning, I'm still debating on the perfect item to giveaway! :)

Giveaway is Right Around the Corner!

New bags and wristlets added yesterday! Beautiful fabrics! Love the Dena Designs Monaco.

Gotta get a few more things in and the giveaway will start!

I'll leave with a few pictures from my 21st birthday. Loved my zebra cake and my pretty flowers!

New Items Coming and a Give-A-Way! What?!

That's right! I'm working on several items with new gorgeous fabrics and after I get it all made up, I'm doing my first give-a-way! I've been working pretty hard the past few days and still have more to do. It won't be long though! So, if you come across this, you just might want to follow and stick around because it will definitely be worth while.

In the mean time, tomorrow I'm taking a break because... it's my 21st birthday! I'm so excited and can't wait to spend it with my loved ones!

I'd leave with a picture as usual but I reformatted my laptop and don't have any pictures on here :(!

Shop Is Back Open!

I opened the Etsy shop back up this morning. I already have several orders. I'm still at my mom's house, I was going to go home today but the weather is supposed to be bad. I went home and got a few supplies and my machine and brought it back here, then realized I forgot one of my important tools - my rotary cutter!

We're going to Hancock Fabrics in the morning to get some blades and a trolley for my machine! I also have to get some new jeans, I ripped a pair of mine a couple weeks ago :(!

Happy Mother's Day to all you beautiful mothers out there! :)

Shop Closed Until Further Notice

Etsy shop has been closed since April 30th 12AM (Thursday) after my free shipping promotion ended. I have been down here at my mom's in Scottsville, KY, helping her out with my grandmother. She had a pace maker put in on Friday and came home on Sunday. We're not sure if she's having complications or not but she has been incredibly dizzy and nauseous since her surgery. They tried to get her to stay at the hospital on Sunday but she just wasn't having it (she's very hard headed) so she ended up coming home. I wish she'd start feeling better so she can recoup herself from her surgery and get used to her pacemaker.

Shop will re-open as soon as everything is better with her and I can make it home. I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week! :)

Say NO to Puppy Mills!

I'm patiently sitting here waiting on Rickey to get home from Indiana. My eyes are so heavy they feel like they're touching the floor. Lilly is out, stretched out as much as her small body can stretch and snoring louder than the TV. I slowly drifted off to sleep earlier today with needle, thread and ribbon in my hand during the process of making a bow. Told you I'm beat.

Last night, we watched Puppy Mills: Exposed on The Animal Planet, talk about heart wrenching. People disgust me. What disgusts me even more is the higher authorities who are taking forever to crack down on these mills and, in my eyes, are not putting enough information out. I wish I could save every little pup in the world and give them a lap to sit on and a bed to sleep in at night. Heck, we've already bought 1 king size bed for a small 8 lb Yorkie, what would a few more king size beds hurt?! :)

Please, if you are getting a new family pet for the first time or if you know someone who is... RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. DON'T buy from pet stores, don't even buy material items from pet stores that sell pups. DON'T buy from the internet, how are you going to know where the pup is really coming from? SEE the living conditions for yourself, if you wouldn't live in it, WALK THE OTHER WAY.

If we would all just join together, we could eventually put an end to all this madness!

Leaving with a little insight of what I've been into the past week - 2 weeks.

Reminder*: Free shipping ends THIS Thursday - April 30th.

Ready, Set, Sew

I haven't updated my blog in what seems like ages. I have been super busy with sewing though. I've made quite a few dog beds and purses and had other random orders besides those.

Love the sewing and the orders but love my relaxing time too, ha!

I've re-done my sewing room quite a bit over the last month or so. I still have several things I'm wanting to do to it but haven't had the time. I've been looking for cute sewing sayings so I can decorate some wooden letters and hang on the wall with ribbon. I'm doing it all bright and funky colored, love those colors. When I still lived with my mom, my room was a beautiful hot pink shade and I loved it and never really grew tired of it. One day in the future, I'll have a hot pink room again and it will most likely be my sewing room. So exciting!

MaryAnna over at Whimsy Papers on Etsy made me a new banner and avatar for my shop. She also made me some other goodies that I absolutely adore!

I also got my tax number and information in the mail and am so excited to be an actual business now! :-P Now, I just need to sew, sew, sew for some craft shows! When I start doing those, it will make my life! Can't wait.

Onto new items I've made recently, other items not listed, you can see those in my Etsy shop or on my business Myspace! :-) I accept orders at both too!

Free Shipping promotion I'm running ends April 30th!

Of course, a post isn't a post until I include a picture of my babygirl!
