Projects

I'm working on some sewing projects right now. I just finished a new dog bed. Basically a big pillow case so it was done pretty fast. It was high time fo a replacement. The bed is a hunter green.

I'm also going to sew some ties for my boys. I just got a pattern for vests and ties. I haven't found the "perfect" fabric yet, but I'm going to try the pattern on some dollar a yard fabric. How hard could it be to make a tie? I guess I'll soon see. This means I'll actually have to learn to tie a tie!

I am also going to make some bags. I'm making a bag for Bekah and probably one for me too. I just got a pattern for this too. I didn't find the fabric I wanted for this either. Guess I get to do some more shopping!

I also got a pattern for scrubs for Alan. This should be a little more of a project that will take some time. But if I can get this right it could save us a little money. I was amazed at how much scrubs were! If you know where to get them cheap, let me know.

Masculine cards

I am always trying to come up with good masculine cards. It is hard sometimes, I always want to add flowers to everything. So here is yet another attempt at manly cards. You can't go wrong with argyle, can you?

Spring Cards

On the card with the cirlces I used up some scraps. It may be hard to see, but I stitched over the circles. On the second card I used my new xyron 250 machine to adhere the ribbon. That machine is a great little tool! The Tulip die is cut from a foil wrapper off of a baby food container(Yes, I saved them all the time that Sam was eating baby food). I love to reuse things on my cards. I feel so thrifty!
