A little sewing...

I was pretty tired this evening... but after my son took Zoey home to her mommy (she been here since Thursday morning) I needed to get a few things finished up.
I have a couple to finish too, but need supplies and well I thought this was a good time to get the little things outta the way!!

I was asked to make hair scrunchies. I thought well shouldn't be too hard.. I've about tackled everything else.. This is what I came up with...

 The girl wanted peace sign's. I have plenty of that fabric.. and through in some different types..

  I had a picture of Zoey modeling one but deleted it from my email and not sure if its on my phone still.. she liked wearing it as a bracelet.. while I was sewing these up today she kept running off as soon as I had one made up and then I had to go through the house searching for them..I think at one point she was chasing the dog down with one too...sigh.

Ok I didn't make those tonight..this is what I made tonight..

 I tried my hand on free motion style sewing on the machine.. is that what it's called??? And actually made a mug rug with a good finish on binding!! I'm quite proud of myself with this one. I just used some fabric I had laying in my "good pile". I wanted to quilt around the edges of the cup but got lazy and its getting late and wanted it finished!
Maybe some of you have seen this before?? I got it from Sewhappygeek. She has a few tutorials on some mug rugs there. But this one caught my eye and looked cute..
Mother nature has changed her mind again.. it was a whole 18 degrees today .. BRRR Last week it was 50's and I heard frogs and saw a turtle!  I did not go out much today. Fed the critters outside and got the mail and that was it!! I kept my jammies on all day hehehe..

I bought a new bag/purse pattern yesterday.. I tend to stay away from big purses , as in making them and using them.. (when I use them I just can't find nothing in them!) I love the looks of big purses though. But seeing my friend from http://mskrspinkstitches.blogspot.com/  make this purse from http://www.emmalinebags.com/ I had to try it out.. I got the Teardrop bag.. I can't wait to make it!! (Christy from Pink Stitches is on facebook too and you can see more of her bags there!!)
Ok, its time for me to get settled down for the night....hope everyone is having a good weekend!!!
OHHH and a shout out to Sasha for getting her first sales for her BEAUTIFUL project bags !!! She's very talented!!! You can see them HERE!!
good nite.

My winning giveaway and Goodwill

Hello people!! Hope you all are recovering from stuffed bellies and messy houses!

Its always a big rush to the finish line then its like POOF its done..I'm glad its done. I sewn so much I need to get my machine cleaned out good. My bobbin winder stopped working and my machine is whiny.. (sounds personal huh??)

But anways...I missed my posting.. I looked back and only did 4 posts for the whole month of December! EEK.

I'm recovering from the stomach bug and it was a mean one.. It hit me hard, was up all night and I mean ALL night 2 nights ago with my head over the toilet.. Thank you sister Debbie for giving me a thoughtful gift lol 

Well, I won one giveaway from the Sew Mama Sew giveaways this year. Last year I won several but I guess I had to let others win once in awhile! = )

I won this cute little mug rug from The Crafting Fiend. I received it today. I love all that green! One of my favorite colors. Look at that little embroidered coffee cup !Thank you Jen!

Do you see that adorable little mug there!? I found a great deal shopping at Goodwill a few weeks ago. They had 6 of the cups sitting on their shelves among all the other chipped mugs and glasses..(These were not even the slightest chipped or scratched!) I paid .49 cents a piece for the little cups. Then I look over and OHHHH matching saucers!!! There was a bundle of 8 for .99cents!!!!!!!!! What??? I snatched them and grunted at this other lady eyeballing them and she walked away slowly..hehehe I normally don't buy a lot dishes there after looking at the bottom label I about fell over.. It had a LOT number on them and said JAPAN..
After getting home I got on Ebay and looked up the Tulip designs coffee cups from Japan and got This!!! Well I was a scrappy happy camper! There is even a matching creamer set available.. hmmm
Doug said wow you could put them on ebay and make a small fortune. Well no I'm NOT!  This is my great find of the year.. and besides they are cute!

I redecorated my blog page.. go over and see it!! It's bright and cheery and I just LOVE it!
I have my Etsy shop closed for now.. Hopefully I will be getting new stuff made soon and get some stuff put back in there. My long term goal right now, but could change..is to start a quilt top..I'm wanting to skim the patterns I want to do then narrow it down.. I'm skeered! My squares might turn into ovals or something wild like that lol

I have to mention that Doug got me a new rotary cutter with a package of blades with it, he only knew to get me those because I lost my pair one day and was tearing up my already messy room and couldn't find them.. After not needing them (as it always goes) I find them in a box of scrap papers..hmm wonder?  So he did good this year lol


If I'm not back before New Year .. have a safe and happy one!
