VRROOM! VRROOM! for my Grandson!

My youngest grandson's birthday is soon, and I didn't want to just go buy "another gift card" to put in his Birthday Card. Sometimes you just want to give them a handmade gift and it's difficult to come up with something appropriate for boys, yet lightweight enough to mail.

His father (my youngest son) has a motorcycle. They go riding when the weather is nice, so when I saw this cycle fabric, I knew I had to make him a special pillow case. I'm Going to put it in a Priority Mail envelope and off it goes to Indiana. Easy, fun & sure beats another gift card from Nanny.

WANT TO CREATE ANOTHER STORM!

I want to go into my sewing room and just "create" another "storm" like I did last time, but have to go to the gym for exercise right now. Darn it! Am back at it 3 mornings a week, and sure takes a chunk out of my sewing day!

Actually, I am thankful for the ability to go and move this old, stiff body. That's the whole idea of doing it ........is to keep the body going and be able to do the things that are fun for me. One of the trainers at the gym told me there are two key elements for keeping older people going.....FLEXIBILITY and BALANCE. Okay, okay.....I hear you.....that's what I will concentrate on doing today.

I'll show ya'll my "STORM" later on.

BEADS & YO-YO'S ON THIS ONE!

What fun I have had making this black & white bag.....accented with red!
I made the flower yo-yo's and sewed a red glass bead to each flower center and to each patchwork interesection. The bag lining is a red tone on tone that I quilted in a diamond grid pattern.

If you want to see more pictures of this one, it's for sale on Ebay. Just click on the link below.

Thanks for looking!

I'M KEEPIN' THIS ONE!

This one is MINE.....MINE! I've been carrying an ugly old vinyl purse that has definitely seen better days, and selling every bag I've been making, so yesterday when I finished this one, I decided...I'm keepin' this one for me!

The Texas Bluebonnets, and Indian Paintbrush are part of the reason I loved this charm pack by Moda. It is called Hill Country Spring. I was born in Colorado and the state flower is Columbine. There were some Columbine fabrics in this collection, so that was just one more reason to claim this bag as mine! They are so pretty!

I hate sewing buttons on by hand, so did them on the machine before I put the bag together, and it was much easier!

Now back to the sewing room to finish up another one to sell....black & white this time.

TEDDY BEAR BAG

This is a special order. It's a 3 piece set from 4 coordinating fabrics; Teddy Bear Theme.

Back of Bag, wallet open.

TAKE TIME TO SMELL MY FLOWERS!

I want to share my special bouquet of beautiful roses for Mother's Day my 3 kids sent me yesterday! Get up real close to your monitor, so you can smell them! There's 24 of them and they're luscious! I will put some of them in another vase tomorrow as they are getting too big & open, to be in this vase. Aren't they gorgeous?? Can you smell them??

Thanks so much Scott, Lisa & Troy! Hope you 3 are having a good time together!

CREATING A STORM CLOUD!

Didn't realize it had been so long since my last entry & pictures, so thought I'd show ya'll why.

It's been "STORMING" A LOT in my sewing room!

This wooden fence board sign was a gift from a dear quilting friend for Christmas several years ago. She made one for each of us in our Tied Together Bee. I have mine hanging from a decorative shelf my brother-in-law made for me when he remodeled my sewing room.

My cutting table is a full size door he permanently attached to the wall.....I love how LARGE it is...with shelving on one end. I can create lots of "STORMS " before I have to clean it off.

Here's one of my new bag creations that helped form the "STORM" cloud! This one is COMPLETELY quilted double fabric in bright turquoise and has 3 roomy compartments in the inside & one outside pocket for cell phone & keys. So useful with just one handle. It's for sale in my Ebay store.

Stay tuned for more storm clouds forming, & many more bags that cause them!

Thanks for visiting!

It is for sale on auction in Ebay. Just click on the link below.

ANGEL TOWELS IN BLUEWORK

This set of Angel days of the week kitchen towels was part of a special order from my store on Ebay. The buyer wanted one set in Redwork, and another set in Bluework, so was happy to oblige her. I like the custom special orders!

Oops! I didn't take pictures of each towel, but they all are as cute as this one! You can go to my Ebay store to see the ones in Redwork.
