Mouse in the House

Wasn't I just talking about a mouse??? Well, lookeehere what I found just listed at Etsy. He was being eyed by a cheshire cat in violetpie's shop. Go have a looky before he gets away!!! Cute critters!

This fabric, oh, this fabric

Okay, so my sister had a purse she made from a recycled skirt and it was my favorite purse, made from some gorgeous fabric!!! Last visit to Sis's and she had sold the purse. But in digging through her fabric scraps, I found this!!!! A little piece of it. A very little piece. Probably about 8" long x 6" wide. I'm going to do something with it, but I don't know what! I wish I had a million yards of it! Or, I'd settle for two! If you see any of this lurking about in fabricland, please... let me know!

100 hearts, 100 hearts, I finally got 100 hearts!!!

I got my 100th Etsy heart today!!!!

In honor, I'm featuring here my 100th hearter's shop, Lindseylouwhoo. She has some sweet hair clippies for little ones...



...and adorable, unique onesies! Go check out her shop. She has a great monthly deal for February!

If you give a mouse a cookie...

If you give a mouse a cookie, it will lead to him asking for a glass of milk; if you give him a glass of milk, it will lead to him asking for a napkin; if you give him a napkin...

So goes it with me. I bought a new sewing machine. Which somehow led to my painting the bathroom and bedroom. I've been trying to figure out how one led to the other and I think it happened like this: My fabric is stored in a chest in the bedroom (easily accessible from the diningroom/sewingroom). So since I had a new machine, I really wanted to organize my fabrics. But I wanted them to be organized in a nice, pretty room so I decided to paint the bedroom. And since the bathroom is off the bedroom, it had to be painted too. So I first painted the bath and have almost finished the bedroom. But I still don't have the fabric organized. And I haven't much used my new machine. What is WRONG with me?? Geez... why couldn't I just be satisfied with organizing the friggin' fabric?? My brain do go into overload sometimes!

But I did play with some fabrics along the way...



These are the new fabriframes I made for the bedroom wall. The picture didn't turn out too well, but they look really nice!

So, can you relate to this? In the process of doing all this painting, I moved all the stuff not being used into the diningroom. So now my diningroom looks like a bomb went off in there. And I'm thinking, okay, I've got to get this mess cleaned up... hmmm... while I'm at it, a fresh coat of paint wouldn't hurt! But no, no, I can't be doing any more painting right now... I've got to get to sewing. We have a craft show coming up in April and I am so not ready! And my Etsy shop is bare! So for now, no more painting.

My Happy Place!!

Okay, so now when someone tells me to go to my happy place, I will go to my bathroom! See how happy it is!! I just painted it. Notice the paint can in the floor. I'm now working on the bedroom. Yea, well, one thing leads to another....

It is all my sister's fault. I spent the night with her on Saturday and we had fun playing (more on that later); but I always return from her beautiful home and find my own extremely boring and depressing. No more, I say!

The valances were a Goodwill find, and the Tracy Porter picture came from a thrift store. Oh, how I love a sweet, thrifty bargain!!!

Fresh Produce!

Here are my latest dailybread Market bags, a set of three produce bags! Ain't they sweet? These were made from recycled curtains!

How Funny Is This???

Isn't this just so funny, fun and funky??? Her name is Ida and she really wants to meet you! She is the creation of dkoss2 at Cutesy but not cutesy. Either way, I say, Cute!
