New To-Do List

Ok thanks to the Hubby (and yes I am putting a majority of the blame on him) I barely got started on my To-Do List from last weekend.  Instead we ended up tearing out the front walkway and entire front porch--it was Monday before my ears quit ringing from 2 days of listening to a jackhammer outside my front door.  However I did make my 1st boppy pillow cover with help from Vanilla Joy and I also made a matching nursing cover for a really great friend's sister-in-law.  I used this pattern that Vanilla Joy supplies on her site and altered it some by not using a zipper and made it close like a pillow sham.  I also got the last batch of my custom orders packed up and shipped out.  It might not have been very productive in the garage/sewing room, but it was an overall productive weekend around our little house!

But now I have another To-Do List (I'm still going to work on the other one too!!)

• master a pattern for the Rachel Ray moppine towels (my mom has been waiting for like 2 months for these, I probably need to make them a priority!)
• create a pattern/design for a boot bag
• make up some more bandana/pillowcase dresses
• make more Cool 'em Totes
• AND of course keep making more Feed Sack Totes!

And these are just a few of the things I would like to work on! Now these are just a few of the projects that I work on in between orders, so I should stay plenty busy!

Until later Peeps...

For All of Us Cowgirls Who Love Our Boots...

Okay apparently it is time for me to start a new project!  And guess what Peeps its for you ladies that never fail to leave to house for the weekend or trip without at least 1 pair of boots in tow!!  Cus I know I usually have at least 2 pair tucked under my arm as we are heading out the door!

I'm going to attempt to figure out a pattern and make a "STYLISH" boot bag because this was an awesome suggestion by one of the besties, Mrs. G.  We know how most of us women, ladies, and girlies love Vera Bradley luggage/bags and others like it; but do any of them make bags for our precious cowboy boots?  Well if they do I definitely haven't found any during my hours of Googling.  Most of the ones that I found were a solid colored canvas, vinyl or expensive leather.

So my plan is to get some quilted fabric (I found a couple of cute prints at the local Hancocks!), and see if my Hubby still has a vinyl or canvas boot bag (he had one at some point in time--that is if I didn't garage sale it!) to use as a pattern.  Apparently I am going to have to come up with my own pattern so this should be VERY interesting...

Somebody please say a prayer for me and thanks Mrs. G for giving me a new challenge!

If any of you fellow Peeps have any suggestions on fabric or other material give me a shout!!  I would love to hear from ya!!

Later Peeps and Beloved Boots...
