A Birthday Present


I knew I wanted to make somebunny a bag.  I knew I wanted to pick out new fabric, not use some I had on my shelves.  I went to Hobby Lobby.  I knew I didn't need very much, so I could choose something really fun.  I must have looked for 1/2 hour......going back and forth, well this, no----this.  Well, this.  Nahhh.
So I chose this blue and magenta flowery print.  I have found that MOST of my time goes into choosing fabric......not in the actual sewing. Then I have to choose ric-rac.....then buttons.  It's a wonder anybunny ever gets a present from me.  I love to put colors together, I love to sew.....so it's worth every minute I spend.  Do you have trouble choosing colors? fabric? buttons? paint? nail polish?

No. No. No. Yes. No.

What a beautiful bag. The colors kind of remind me of the colors in the apron you gave me - which I absolutely LOVE, by the way.

Possibly being drawn to that color hasn't made choosing any easier for me!

I always KNEW we were kindred spirits. I am just like that. I spend a looong time choosing fabric and putting the right colors together. It is soo much fun. I think planning the fabric is almost the best part...but I do love to sew and see the finished product and know that somebody's gonna love it. I LOVE the bag... it is so cute! Yes to all! Have a great day!

I guess I'm a kid in a candy store when I look at fabric.

I don't have troubles with those things. Don't spend a whole lot of time sewing. I was never taught growing up. I can sew a basic skirt with elastic waist and regular coulottes. But that's the extent of it. I still like to browse the fabric departments though. LOL

this and that

So, I get up this morning, and the rag-rug fairy tied all my rag-rug pieces together and had them wound in a nice ball.  I think I will leave more out tonight and see if it can happen again. OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived. These are useful, not beautiful.  I need useful when I garden.  I bought some very low cost sni...
