Fun MINI stay cation

I had some time off I needed to use before the end of Jan. so I took them this week.  I had a four day weekend.  One that was fun and productive.  I got in some scrapbooking, sewing, and best of all time with family. 

Played with my new machine and learned how to make mongramed wristlets in the hoop so fun and these are going to be addicting to make.


Below is a photo of the first one I made...


Here is the purse I made that this cordinates with...

I went shopping this weekend and took this purse and got a lot of compliments from people on it.  Love it when people notice things I create.

Below is the wristlet i made my sis.  I think this one looks a little better then the first.



Ok I have to share... this is my NEW favorite sewing notion...



I have also started a quilt for my grandbaby to be I found the pattern on pinterest and had to give it a try.  I will post photo of it when its done.  I also have another top cut out as well using the same fabric as the first.  I have a plan. :)  so stay tuned and find out what i do with that.

Sorry I've not added anything else to my shop just yet but I needed to take some sewing time for me and my family.  Plus I am learning more each day to help my items I sew to sale to be even better.

My long weekend is over and it sure was a good one but tomarrow is a work day so I best rest up for that.  Plan on working on my quilt tomarrow after work and my workout.

Speaking of work out my sis made me take a big step this weekend.  I still have a big body image in my head and have a hard time getting use to what size i am in now.  I still find my self heading for the "Plus size" part of walmart for my cloths.  My sis almost pushed me into a store and opened my eyes up to what is now possible for me to wear.  She made me try on cloth that fit me and not the big frump stuff i've been wearing.  I bought a jacket and a sweater from a name brand store IN THE FREAKIN MALL............ I have never got to shop in the mall for my cloth before.  Also I couldn't believe the prices.  I was shocked at the coat and sweater I bought and only paid 17.98 for them both.  THANKS FOR THE PUSH SIS!!!  For the first time in my life shopping for cloths was fun.
