Hey, everybody in case you havent heard there is a SILHOUETTE MACHINE GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!! going on!.. Be sure and go enter. Somebody has to win and it just might be you! Good luck

Check it out!

Editing to link up here .. lots of creativity and talent to be seen.. go check it out.

I've sewn three of these checkbook covers recently .  The first two had minor mistakes ,, but I think 3rd times a charm.   I used this tutorial here and it really is easy to follow I just get in a hurry and mess it up. I made all of them using scrap pieces of fabric and a bandanna for one of the ruffle accents. 

 #1 - cant see the mistakes but trust me they are there.  I did pleats instead of ruffling the blue part. 

#3 - much better.  Didnt get a pic of #2.

i did pleats instead of ruffling the black piece. 

And because i've been slacking lately with my blog here's one more picture for this post.. Melanie bought her a kit for making cupcakes recently and made these for a coworker of hers.  I think she did a great job.  I love the big swirls. 

This past weekend my sweet honey thought of me when he saw this coffee mug and bought it for me..  its so me!  ha ha

Shower & Tower

This past weekend we had a baby shower at my mother-in-laws house.  This baby will be the first great grandbaby.  Her name is Brenna Claire and due any day now.  This is the cupcake tower and cupcakes I made.  I won the cupcake toppers awhile back and couldnt wait to use them.  For some reason I cant get the picture any bigger.

Zippered bag and sophomore year

My baby is in 10th grade this year... growing up way too fast.  Such a handsome young man with a good "head" on his shoulders most of the time and for that I'm very grateful.  Praying for a very successful year for him. 

We went to the coast this weekend and visited with family.  While the guys were fishing I had a little fun in Hobby Lobby.  And let me just say the one in Biloxi is much bigger than the one near me.  I bought some fabric and made a little zippered bag to go in my purse.  The first one didnt look so hot but the second was much better, not perfect,, but better.   I made it using the tutorial found here.  Only thing different was my fabric size which made the bag a little bit bigger.  But the tutorial was fairly easy to follow and I've only done a zipper one other time.   The finished size is approx 5x9 in. and plenty big to hold my makeup. 

Hope everyone has a great week..
