Long, Lost Pictures

Okay so I finally remembered my camera today!  And I am so sorry I do not take very good pictures! But these are just a few of the pics that I have because I still need to steal my mom's camera (there are more on her fancier camera & probably better pics too).

And that is some of the things that I have worked on in the last couple of months!  I promise to try to do better about posting pictures as I go and not submit you to several months worth at one time!!!  UGH once again I am so sorry!!  But I will tell you I have a couple of new styles of Hooded Towels coming your way, needless to say this weekend was very successful in shopping with Mrs. G!!!

Wild & Crazy Wed. Night

So last night after getting a few things accomplished around the house, fed the starving munchkins, put up laundry, and got the munchkins to bed, I finally sat down and threw and eye pillow together! I didn't even use any of the patterns I had so carefully printed off yesterday (since it was like 10:30 and all of that stuff was still in the car--what can I say I didn't feel like walking out to the car). I wasn't even going to sew the pillow last night until I stumbled across a length of material that was right at 8" wide (then I held it across my face & determined that it was long enough, even though the patterns called for 10 inches). So I checked the pantry and I had a bag of regular rice tucked away in a far corner. By this time my dog Hannah is following me around giving me this look like "um Mom its like 10:30 and waayyy past our bedtime!" But I just kept trucking along, I was on a mission & I had a vision!! So I cut a 8X8 square and folded it into a 4X8 rectangle (right sides together) and sewed the 2 short side together with and opening on the long side, flipped it inside out, and filled it with about a cup of rice. (I think flaxseed will work better but where am I going to get that at 10:30 at night & in the middle of nowhere TX?) I topstitched the opening and threw it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. & I was ready for bed!! So then Hannah and I went to bed and slept like angels with our warm eye pillow or at least I did. Maybe I will get a slipcover or case made for it in a couple of days because I am preping for major sewing weekend!!

Welcome to My World with Google!

So I have spent some time this week with my ole pal Google. I have been researching various topics like handmade eye pillows, heating pads/pillows, patterns, and fillers. I ahve also been researching a couple of sewing machines. I love finding new patterns or ideas to try and tinker with. I think I have finally found a couple of patterns that I can alter, combine and tinker with until I get the results that I am looking for. I am super excited about getting home and getting my 1st eye pillow made just so I can test it out myself (I love testing out my stuff!)

I started thinking about this project and wondering if there were any patterns for an eye pillow thingymagig because I have been using my heating pillow to cover my eyes when I have a migraine. If I couldn't find one, then I was going to find the measurements for an eye mask or make a super-small version of my heating pillow. After another migraine wrecked havoc on my weekend this past Sunday, I jump started my research!! Sometimes I feel like I am still in school with all of this researching and studying that I do on patterns, projects and items---but I absolutely love it!! That's all that matters right? I will do my best to get some pics up of my end results!!

Later Peeps...

Oh and dont forget to send me suggestions for things you might want patterns for or even where to find specific ideas! Or you can suggests other Peeps that might want to be showcased!
