New cards...

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new business cards.  I can't wait to see them.

I have been searching and attempting to create something that I love and this pretty closely fits the bill!  It has polka dots, the colors I wanted, clean, fun...I love them!!!  Also, got some new Etsy banners and such once I get my self in gear and items up on the sight!  It's definitely a bit of work but I know will be so worth it and I am really looking forward to it!

I am now teaching myself how to make patterns and am super excited to see what evolves!  I have a couple of lessons under my belt with my serger and my cover stitch class next month!  Ahhhh, the little things in life.  As my husband is off to the football game with a friend, I am daydreaming about all of the things I can't wait to do and put together!  I have to admit, I never thought this is the direction my life would be going but getting my sewing machine a couple of years ago has been liberating and so fulfilling!  I am still wondering if sewing can be passed down as a gene....my Mom must have passed something down to me.  ;) (and for that I am eternally grateful...thanks Mom(s)!!!)

For now...I am off to work on a little sock monkey dress for my little monkey (my niece...she just rolled over to the 6 mos. mark, such an angel that one)!!!

Project 9...Round 1

I just finished and packed up round 1 of the pillowcases.  Next, I will work on some for boys since these are all pretty girlie!  They are so bright and cheery...I love them!  I have also figured out I definitely have a thing for polka dots....LOVE them!

So here are a few pictures of the finished cases.

So, there you have it...the first set of pillowcases for Conkerr Cancer: A case for smiles!!! =)

project 9

I am so excited to have discovered Craft Hope yesterday! To be able to potentially bring smiles to people and children is something I love to do and I am very very excited to work on their current project, project 9. September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month and volunteers are sewing as many pillowcases they can to donate to Children's Hospitals all over the country to bring a smile or two to children with life threatening illnesses. I am so grateful to be able to participate and make a contribution. I can't wait to get home and sew the 9 cases I have cut so far! I will have to post a few pictures once they are complete! Plus, I am super excited to use my new serger to construct them!!! Yayyyy!!!
