Getting Caught UP! YAY!

I am so proud of myself! I have a few outstanding orders to fill but I have finally managed to get in my sewing room and really finish up my orders! I have 2 left! It has been a rather crazy few months...with My daughter and grand baby moving home and then my little one being sick nonstop for the past few weeks. Things are slowly coming around to some kind of normalcy...whatever that may be.

I have been working on some new designs...but can't focus on them until the old ones are finished. I am just grateful that a couple of my customers granted me the opportunity to have some creative say in creating some "special" pieces for them. I hope they love them because I sure loved doing them! Thanks ladies!! :-)

Well with only 2 more simple items to complete I am off again to my sewing room...I think I might crank up the playlist and ignore the family for a few more hours...hopefully I can get them done tonight..it gives me something to shoot for! Wish me luck!

Preparing Your fabric before cutting

I came across this little tip and thought I would share it with you. Every time I purchase new fabric I take it directly to be washed....but when it comes out the raw edge of the fabric is just a mess of strings. Well now instead of washing immediately I take an extra step and serge the raw edge of my material before I wash....guess what..No more stringy mess!! It really does make a big difference.

Lazy Sunday

Well it is Sunday evening and I am heading to bed..but thought I would post about what my day entailed. NOTHING...yes, I said it NOTHING! It was GREAT! :-)

We went to a bonfire last night for a friends birthday and decided today we would do everything we wanted to..which involved watching the Football game...sleeping on the couch and just Vegging out! I seriously can't tell you the last time I have done that! The girls helped with dinner and now we are finishing up a movie. What a wonderful end to a not so hectic weekend!

Tomorrow off to the sewing room I go! I can't wait to create!

Chaos...my middle name!

My life has been a bit hectic lately. For those of you who don't know My oldest daughter had a my first grandbaby....and since the birth of Princess Adrienne, I THOUGHT my life would slow down! My daughter is married to a military man who was deployed a month ago...OH did I mention my gradbaby is only 2 months old. Well, anyway...my daughter decided to come home to stay until her hubby returns home. In the mean while I have no space for her and the baby. She has 3 younger siblings (all girls) sooooo my dear hubby and I decided to "build" her a room...in our garage. Now it's not as bad as it sounds..it is a fully functional room with a door heating/cooling and everything!!! WHEW! I am sooo happy it is complete. I am rather proud because we are by no means carpenters...but it actaully was a fun undertaking and me and my husband got to spend time alone..kinda :-)
Now that she has a place of her own I can get back to my work...right? WRONG!! But I am trying!
