60s design




I've been working on a new design. I am using a Keyka Lou pattern and modifying it to a picture I have of a 1960s purse. I have my first one finished. I think I love it... Any feedback is appreciated.... I am wearing my slouch around the house cleaning clothes but am so lazy I wouldn't change for the pic....So, I am hoping the purse is so beautiful that the surroundings are not even noticable:)

1972 on its way


OOOOH... A 1972 Spencers catalog coming my way. I love these old catalogs. I already have a 1969 Sears one that I think I have memorized by now..So, I was in need of a new one:) Look at that bed spread....I wish I could really order items out this catalog...I would take the pants in the upper right corner ... I always have been soooo stylish....Ha Ha

Lima Bean Diarrhea


My daughter and I love lima beans. I have been wanting to make this lime bean loaf recipe for awhile now. I thought it would look great, like a meatloaf but limaloaf. ....but it turned out more like lima mush...It tastes great but try and get a 3 year old to eat something that looks like diarrhea....Not going to happen...
I have loved having a few days off of sewing. Infact, I have been wanting to sew a little but am holding myself back...until after xmas.
I hope all of you have better food than we do today:)

Wowzers


I can't believe it's been this long since I last posted. I have been so busy with holiday sales...I sometimes wonder if it's worth it. I closed my shop for a few weeks to get caught up and do some of my fun projects.... I really want everything made in my shop out of love not necessity.. I also have been wanting to make some resin jewelry for friends for xmas...
