Swinging Owls

November 19, 2009

Line of owls

I have been sewing sewing sewing to get ready for the handmade arcade.  During nap time I don't answer the phone and make sure no one bothers me so I can stock up on items.  I decided to do a bunch of Lola Owls since they are faster and I thought it would be fun to work with those big eyes.  I love them in a line like this!  This is taken on the front porch swing which I take many many pictures on.  I love those cut outs and all the not so perfect white paint.  When we move I will miss this swing and all the fun and popsicles we have had on it.

Maybe this should be my new banner??  We'll see if I can figure that out!  I am now selling my patterns over at You Can Make This.  It's fun to see my "babies" on another site and it all seems to be going well.   Awhile back I was over on that site and I noticed that a seller on etsy, littledresses, had her patterns listed there.  I emailed her about it and she was so awesome giving me all sorts of advice about spreading the word about my patterns.  Thanks again littledresses!

Hopefully I'll get a post together about all the crayon folios I have made before we leave for GA for Thanksgiving!

Yellow Scrap Fabric Made into Hot pads!

 Awhile ago I created some yellow scrap fabric yardage and showed you all my method over on THIS youtube video.  At the time I wasn't sure what to do with that piece.  Maybe another pillow?  Make it larger to make a baby quilt?  I finally decided on a new set of hot...
