busy, busy!

I've got lots of projects lined up for myself on the very near horizon... I am in the mood to pretty up my bedroom, which means pillows are being made! I have busy at work on a large custom order for my shop which is finally done and now I am trying to get the shop ultra-stocked! I've been scouting out vintage papers and bits to do some special new things with in the shop as well, which I am super excited about. I am planning a "Christmas in July" sale to be very spectacular and I can't wait to share it all with you. I am planning a GREAT GIVEAWAY week beginning Monday in celebration of my 300th post! Busy, busy, busy... right?! :) Whew- but I'm loving it. This is what I want to be doing right now. I feel blessed to be able to create things and love having an outlet to do so!

Soooo, here is the adorable new fabric I picked up at our local Yardage Town. They have such funky, different fabrics and I fell in love with both of these. One is a retro "suburban" neighborhood print, complete with barbecue grills and campers! AH, so cute! The other is a European village scene print which I totally adore! Can't wait to create some things out of these... I am still trying to decide what to use them for. Any ideas?! :)

And here are some new little goodies in the shop...

...cute and bright "you rock" tags!! Love these! :)

...and two adorable vintage-inspired scalloped tags!

And don't forget that
EVERYTHING
in the shop is
20% off
until June 14th in honor of the YART sale... do your shopping now while it is ALL on sale! :)

I hope you all are having productive and creative weeks.... what is on your to-do list lately?! xo!

dust off the sewing machine!

We have planning a vacation to Palm Springs at the beginning of June (yay!!!) and I am in need of new bathing suits and some cute coverups. So in the interest of saving money, I think it is high time that I dust off my sewing machine and get to work again... I was at Joann's and found two great patterns to try out.

A top that I am going to work into a cover-up to go to and from the pool in.

And see the zebra cover-up here?? I am going to make one exactly like that. I love zebra print, especially on frivolous items like this... and I found fabric at JoAnn's that is identical! Yay! :)

I will be sure to post photos when I get them done! Anyone else doing some summer sewing at the moment? :) xo!
