Senior Prom night and some sewing

My daughter went to senior prom tonight. She's the one in the cream(?) dress. As you can tell she's very eccentric hence, the rihanna haircut and color.

That's her best friend Cassandra in the blue. Frick and Frack for sure.
I've been sewing while waiting up for her to come home. Yes I'm a worry wart of a mom and will NOT sleep until I know she's home. What better way than to sew right?
Check it out. Keyka Lou small clutch. I LOVE her patterns and have 3 more to try out before it's all said and done.

Next up is the pattern I was too cheap to buy at first and tried knocking off....um yeah....I'll stick with sewing and NOT pattern drafting on my own.

Have a good rest of your Saturday night.

Mother's Day!!!

Was my birthday!!!! Yep, exactly 39 years from Sunday. I was a mother's day baby but if you ask my mother her best gift was this.....not me.... but this...that's what she said but I KNOW she loves teasing me. Sorry Mom I'm not flustered! Well maybe a little. :-(

She's NOT technically savvy! And I didn't want to waste money on an ipad and have her NOT like it.


and this..

from my shop of course with her initials embroidered.

I made this for my mother-in-law...

Her name is Edith but Edie for short. Well that's it. I'm done. Oh can you believe I got a cold on my birthday/mother's day. Still battling the sniffling and cough. Nyquil is starting to kick in.... Nights are the worst. It's humid here in Maryland and boy it's hard to breef (hahahaha George Lopez stand up). Ok I'll stop babbling now. How was your mother's day? Oh and stay tuned for some give aways! Have some new patterns for my store and need to move some things to make space. Enjoy the rest of your hump day!

Insomnia

Good thing about having insomnia is you can be creative/productive.  You can definitely get things done, but quietly.  Everyone else is dreaming away.
:-(

I think I'm gonna try and sleep now.  Good nite!

Mother's Day May 13th

I've been very very busy.  Shifted gears to make something new for my etsy shop.  A pattern by Craft Apple. 
It's a portfolio.  I had to have this pattern.  I hope others will think so also!  ;-) 


Ummmm yeah....Mother's Day-perfect gift right? And Mother's Day this year is my birthday(I was born on Mother's Day btw!). What better gift for my mom right? Well I think my brother would beg to differ. Even though he wasn't born on Mother's day he's the baby and oh so cute!!!! And NO I'm telling you how old. LOL! I'm old enough. That is all... oh yeah here are some pics.....

Ok gotta go and sew some more and Gunsmoke is about to come on.  Oh yes I LOVE Westerns.  Don't ask and no I'm not WEIRD!  (Charlie)  Yeah I called you out! ;-)

Oh yay!!!!

Posting on my new desktop.  Hp Touchsmart 320PC.  Well enough for now.  Later!

Where oh where is my sewing mojo

I've rearranged my room again.  Trying to make better use of things. Desktop is down so I'm using an old laptop of my daughters'.  Just blah today.  Hubby says I should just get another computer and be done with the old one.  Why is it so hard for me to buy things for myself?  If it were for anyone else, it would have been a no brainer.  I would have gotten the blasted thing days ago.
Joys of motherhood.  We get so used to putting ourselves last, it becomes a chore to do otherwise.  I should know my mom is notorious for this kind of behavior.  Speaking of mom's better get this computer issue straight.  My birthday is Mother's day this year (yeah was also born on Mother's Day) and I can see my mother buying me a computer if I don't have one already.    Not that I'm complaining.  I don't like her spending money on me.  She did her job raising me and I don't like accepting expensive gifts.
I know I have issues.
I love to give.  Have a hard time receiving. LOL!  It could be worse.

Hmmmmppphhhhhh

Okay I confess I'm cheap!!!!! So cheap I wanted a pattern to make items and sell in my shop but refused to pay the cost of the pattern.  How difficult should this be to make?

Well I made my own version!  Hmmphhh!!!!!!  No offense but I need to make money before I can start spending it.

Ok ....back to work!!!!!
LOL!
XOXO
