Indiana weather

I think mother nature likes to trick us "hoosiers" from Indiana... Once we put away our boots and jackets she is like HAHA POOF! its cold out again.. Then we walk out bundled up for the day and poof! HAHA you are peeling off layers.. Warm weather I do NOT gripe about..I love it. I love having the A/C on through the night and snuggle under the covers.. I know I can do that in the winter, but knowing I can also just go outside bare foot and not have to worry about warming the car up, or shoveling snow for Miss Baby for her to do her wee wee's. Yes I go out and shovel a little path out back and a little area for her to potty.. I would want someone like myself to help me out like that. If I would have to go out in the middle of winter to pee!!!!! lol
I just pray when I get older and frail (I'm about 60% there) my kids will WANT to take care of me, as I did for them. They can wipe my behind and feed me runny foods as I did them.. HAHA on you kids.. its in the Will! hehehehehe
But I don't know , that might be child abuse now days..

Not too much sewing this week. Been spending time outside while its nice and we bought Zoey a sandbox and she loves it. She calls it "building" .. Lets build gramma.. so I'm in the middle of it all piling up sand and she is smashing my castles.. kids always picked on me. I call her the Zozilla of Embury Road. Embury Road is the road I live on but they don't call it that anymore.. Its been changed so many times.. now we are down to numbers for 911 . They still can't find us...but anywho...

I made a mini charm square tote bag adapted from last weeks tote I showed.  I just put less squares in.. very technical ! hehe

I used a tutorial from Teresadownunder blog and just sized it down. My fabric stash of pretty fabrics are getting LOW.. So I had to make do what I had.. not too sure about the bottom gray?? Or the handles..

I made new business cards! Since I changed my Etsy store name and my email for contact orders I had to get more cards. I got tired of crossing out my old address and writing teeny tiny on the cards..

I am broke , like in 30 different ways right now. With a new tighter budget (hopefully temporary! ) , I set out to make my own. I looked around the web for ideas and the one's that really popped out to me where the sewn cards. Some were like all sewn. I had no time for that.. So I went with a simple little strip on one side. Aren't they cute? AND FREE!
Ok lastly, I made these for my shop.. Just a little fun item. Women's personal hygiene wallets. Aren't you tired of fumbling in the bottom of your purse to find these ? Or pull out your keys in a parking lot and one goes flying?? (lol remember that story?) They are listed in my shop now. I'm going to be making walletes and some key chains soon too. My bigger items aren't doing so well so thought I'd put something up to fit a smaller budget.. and I have FREE shipping stateside!! I do ship international of course with a small set fee for shipping...



Enjoy your week!!

A fast post...with a lot of pics...and a funny one.

I noticed in my past few post's I ramble on and on about stuff!! lol but today I won't , I promise...kindof tired and wanted to get these pics posted before I totally forget...again.
I made another Posey Wristlet !! Well , actually two.. 
( and don't scroll to the bottom to see the funny pic.....ATTT no! wait!!) 




 This one is for sale and hopefully get it on Etsy soon! I been trying to make a few things to add.. one day...
(Thank you Sasha for permission to sell some! )

I made something from a new pattern I purchased from http://projectsbyjane.blogspot.com/
It's called a Sexy Zipper Wristlet.. (because it has curves) hehe

 I really liked making this one , and the zipper is done abit different then what I'm use to doing. I also made a few new labels.. I usually go all out and print them on sticky stuff and iron them on ribbon.. I wanted to do something fast and different. My mom gave me one of those old school label makers, the one you have to painfully and carefully apply EACH teeny letter to the base?? Then I just stamped it on some twill tape.. Easy peasy..
Next on my list.. 
I made these bookmarks.. or wait ...
or are they business cards???  
Another easy peasy project!! I wanted to make some bookmarks for my local library and always make them for the kiddo's , well thought maybe the adults would like some! And hopefully get some sales on Etsy lol
My fav are the Little Apple prints.. (the second in second row and the last one in red, for my non crafty people) And the little panda.. love that one too!
I love when I combine my sewing with my paper !!! = )

Ok best thing I saved for last.. I haven't posted Baby for some time..
Here she is in all her glory.. I enlarged it so you all can read.. I was going to edit and thought.. oh I'm so sure everyone's house looks just like mine!! Its been Zoey'tised...
I had her Thursday and took this tonight (Friday) lol I past that paper she is sitting on all day and still can't pick it up...sigh.
Baby has gained a bit of weight as its been too cold to go out for our daily walks everyday. I take her out and she runs to the trees, or trash can, or tire wheels reading her pee-mail and replies and off back to the house!  Today it got up above 40 I think.. so she took me back around the pond behind our place.
Doesn't she look like a bowling pin???
I finally got a day for ME and went to get my hair done!! I thought it was time..
Ok ,ya'all have a great weekend!!
