I have finally finished all of my projects for the sewing swap. I'm really pleased with how everything came out. Above are the small gift bags for one of the thirty minute groups. This project really did take about thirty minutes, unlike some of the others I completed.
I was in four "thirty minute" groups and two "one hour" groups. Needless to say, it took me many more hours than that! I had to make five of each item for each group. But, I went ahead and made six of each so I could have one for myself and I'm really glad I did that.
Tommy is pleased, since I've actually used the sewing machine more in the past two weeks than I have used it in five years! I have to say that the Bernina was worth every penny.

They really aren't as sweet as they look!

Awwww...
This seems like a good idea, if you're four.
It's a learning process.

It's been a while. Hello internet. Labels: personal
Since I know my mother is going to be checking this blog, I need to be better about updating! I know she's going to check because I set up a desktop shortcut on her computer. So, Hi, Mom! Don't forget to check your e-mail.
I've been sewing like a crazy woman for the last week. I have some projects due for some swaps in the next couple of days. Like always, I wait until the absolute last minute. But, I do have a very good excuse this time. Our family has suffered a great loss and it just doesn't seem the same at family gatherings, either.
I'll be back with a happier post soon.

Wow. How long can I possibly stay gone from this poor blog? It's been crazy around here lately. I've been sorting buttons for the Handmade Button Swap for the last two days and they are mailing out tomorrow. I'll be glad to get them out of the house and off my counter! :)
Here's my newest bookmark!
I actually have been doing something around here other than laundry. I made these owl cards for an owl swap on TwoPeas. I actually made three items, but need to still photograph the other two. I got the idea for these from Cards magazine.

I returned home from Inspired late Sunday night. I don't think I've recovered yet. I need a vacation from my vacation. Most nights I didn't go to bed until 2 AM or later. That's nothing new since I stay up that late at home, but I usually don't wake up at 6 AM the next morning, either!
I have projects (still in the car) and pictures to share!

So far, I've made about ten of these little mushroom bookmarks as gifts and for swaps. Pretty cute and easy once I get the assembly line going.
Both of these little boys have been sick this past week. First, it was Owen and about five days later, Jack. Now they are both doing much better!
