September Sewing!

I finished this little dude the day before yesterday, this might be my favorite so far. I have about 2 more left to do then I dont know what project I will get my hands on.

I quit my job last Thursday because I was basically spending more driving all the way out there then I was making a week. Its kinda sad I was really hoping this one would work out. Next week its back to the grind trying to find something else. One day I will own my own thing and this will all be just a memory.

Daily Happy pt 4

Are yall sick of seeing all these projects yet? I have another one that I finished last night while I was watching The Devil Wears Prada. It was super simple and took about an hour to do. I think I am gonna start giving these away to random people. Im doing one that I should be finished with by tomorrow that is a cross stitch on a card that came with a fancy envelope to send. Im giving that one to my great aunt, we are pretty good pen pals.

I went to see The Help today after reading it the last few days. I really liked the book which is weird for me because I rarely like things like that but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie was pretty far as they usually are from the original but it still flowed along nicely. I would definitely recommend seeing this movie!

Sew September

For those of yall that dont know it this lady is having a challenge for the month of September to sew a little bit everyday for the entire month. Now I am new to the whole sewing thing and I think this will be really fun and a good way to get used to my machine. (read: my moms machine)
I have a list of things I am wanting to try to get done so we will see how this month goes along.
If you are interested go check out her page/add this button to your own blog and get to creating something rad...even if its something simple just do it!!

   

Daily Happy pt 3

I finished another little mini cross stitch today, I messed the entire color scheme off but I think it looks good anyways.
Since I only work 3 days/week I have quite a bit of time on my hands on my lovely off days. I actually went to Hobby Lobby today to get a few more because I am almost all out of patterns. I think next time instead of getting kits I am going to get a pattern book and go from there. Thread is so cheap and I can keep the patterns forever. I need some ideas on what to do with all these little projects. My mom suggested a baby mobile but I have no kids and I dont want to give my first ones away...any suggestions?

Daily Happy pt 2

I finally finished another cross stitch project. Its taken me a lot longer then I thought it would but hey I am a slacker to the core.  It is another little cute cat, I seem to do a lot of cat crafts which is funny cause I dont overly like those critters. I do love Hedwig the Siamese and Piaff the Hairless wonder but that is about it. So here is a picture, yes its on my webcam...I know that is a no no but over look it this once please and thanks.

Pretty dang cute isnt it? I still am not done with the shirt I started, its almost there but I still have to do a few more things. I have found I really really love sewing. Maybe Ill become a seamstress!!

Sewing away

I finally got the balls to get a sewing pattern and attempt my first real project. I got just a plain shirt from JoAnns and have already cut out the pattern and washed the fabric. Tomorrow my mom is going to help me and I will be photographing the whole thing so yall can laugh at me. I encourage it, go ahead.
See ya then,
