What to look for in the upcoming weeks!!

I have decided to try doing my postsby themes each week! There will be 2-3 posts each week. I plan on these blogs being very helpful and informative to you as followers and to possibly others that you know! I don't plan on giving away all of my secrets but I do plan on helping you be crafty and while saving money.

If anyone has any topics that they would like me to blog about or research, I will be more than happy to try my hand at them!

Watch our for next week's blogs because they will be all about Baby Showers and baby gifts. As a mom that has seen and tried many products lately as well as had several friends who have had babies in the last couple of years, there was always a different but very essential item that one of us received. Then the others would be either making one or going out to buy it. I have learned about some pretty neat things just through my mommy pals! I would rather give a gift of functionality or necessity (possibly one that I couldn't live without) than something random on the shelf.

And the truth is that there are so many cute and very useful items out there that cannot be registered for at Babies R Us or Target. There are many cute boutique shops out there that carry many items created by other moms. But then there are also patterns or tutorials all over the web that can help you create or style your own gifts!

So look for my blog that will be very informative on some of these products next week!

Oh To Do List where art thou?

QUICK PEAK AT ONE OF THE QUILTS I AM MAKING!!

Oh To Do List where art thou???


My brain has been constantly running and calculating....how much material will I need for this? how much for that quilt? how much backing? how much batting? what am I gonna make for this person for her baby shower? what will this person like for Christmas?





I think I am going into overload!! My garage/sewing room looks like a complete diaster and about 10 tornados have hit it!! There are about 10 different projects scattered all over just so I can figure out what materials and supplies that I have and what I need to get to finish them!!





Just off of the top of my head I have at least 2 Baby Showers coming up (and they are both the same weekend!), several 1 or 2 item orders, and a wholesale order to finish up so that I can completely focus on 3 quilts to get finished by Christmas along with several other items!!

Getting Back into the Sewing of Things!

Wow you can really tell that the holidays are coming upon us...Did you realize that Christmas will be here in a little of 2 months??? Man do I have a lot to get done! Time to make that checklist!

1. Bubba's Quilt

2. Tyrell's Quilt

3. Order of 24 Totes (1st wholesale order!!)

4. Towel for Koyt

5. Figure out something for everyone else!!!

And to think that this is only the beginning of my list! I have to do this all along with helping my hubby lay a 700 sq foot Paverstone patio (that is coming along quite nicely), paint a bedroom, finish the leather look on one wall in the dining room, oh and paint the outside of the house! I think I am gonna go crazy because with the madness around our house every evening for the past 2 weeks, it looks like a new tornado hits everyday! I'm ready for the chaos to leave so I can have a halfway clean house!!

But back to the sewing, my awesome mom has been keeping me super busy by selling my insulated totes at every roping she has gone to since Labor Day!! Thanks Mom!! Meanwhile she got the wholesale order for 24 totes!!

And of course I always have too much on my plate but I'd rather have it that way than nothing at all! I still have plenty of sewing to do between baby showers coming up and Christmas, I will probably be up until Midnight sewing every night, but oh well!!
