Introducing...

Drum roll please.....

Introducing my new etsy.com shop...

SewSmoodle!


I decided to start this shop because I kept coming across fabric and trims and other sewing goodies that I just loved too much not to share! My other etsy shop was turning into too much of a jumble, so I decided to simplify it.

So, if you are looking for new fabric, trim, patterns, or other sewing notions, you might want to check it out!

I'm still building it up, so it's not too full yet, but I'm finding new goodies all the time. So, you never know what you might find! :o)

My Beloved Washline

So, forever ago I posted about the birth of my washline.

Here it is in an early stage... not looking to special yet...

It is finally finished and I love it even more than I expected to. It was quite a project -- pretty fun actually. I'm sure it would have been quite comical for anyone who could have seen my dad and I assembling the poles. Unfortunately, there are not any pictures from that stage! :) At one point, the pole was lying on the garage floor where I stood/balanced on it to keep it from rolling while my Dad tried to drill through it. Now, keep in mind that these poles are stainless steel and several inches in diameter. Fun times!

My beautiful pink sheets in all their sunshiny, breezy, laundry-fresh goodness!

Mystery Project Update

Wow!

All you people out there who garden, and can and freeze your harvest, and sew, and keep house, and have lives, and sleep..... and you blog too!?!?

Again, I say W-O-W -- you are truly my heroes. I sure can't do it all!

But, things are starting to slow down a little outside and in the kitchen, so I finally have a little extra energy update my blog. (Well, after the flu wore off and all...)

Here is an update on this mystery project:

I made this for my aunt for her birthday. I slipped a picture of each of her kids into each circle, behind the vinyl.

Here's a close-up of the ribbon and the embroidery on the front.

Here's the back. The red is grosgrain ribbon.
It turned out even better than I planned... I was really happy with it!
