I'm back...and sewing. It has been a while since I've posted or sewn anything--but I have a lot of great changes to tell you about!!
First, we moved to a much bigger house! We have spent the last month renovating and moving...it really sucked!! Our old house was a small 3 bedroom/2 bath with a pool (that I hated) and our new one has 5 bedrooms, a loft, a mancave (for Ryan) an open kitchen and living room, etc. Twice the size, less payment per month. Yeah!! But the best thing of all is that I have a sewing room again!!! Check it out...
I made some curtains for the sewing room... "Just Wing It" is the fabric line...
I also got this fabulous vintage Ethan Allen hutch off of Craigslist for my sewing room... Lots of room for misc sewing implements, etc. Very cool, in my opinion. I've become a Craigslist junky--don't let me get started on my other purchases!!
And here is Buddy is his bed in my sewing room. I bought the sherpa-like throw to match the aqua/yellow theme that I'm going with...but now Buddy looks a little Liberace-like. I guess the aqua isn't as masculine as I'd hoped....Thank God he is color-blind!
The real Liberace....they could be brothers!!
I made an excellent pillow for the MQG pillow exchange on Dec 29th. I can't show you the front, but here is the back...just lovely, for my first pillow. Seriously, I was lucky that the damn pillow fit in the cover I made for it. Really...why does a 12" pillow require a 16" square...honestly about a 17" square for the cover? Maybe I should have read some directions online?? Oh well...I also might not have left enough overlap on the back side....2" instead of 3-4"?? Who knew??? I could try to put in a button and buttonhole but what if I screw it up?? Better leave well enough alone...
The good news is that I don't have to shop for Rebecca. This year, I bought her a roof for Christmas and she bought us a house! Yeah....no lines for those purchases...
Happy Holidays!
