This and that.....

 I had so much going on last week. A lot of "this" and a lot of "that". So many sewing projects completed that I can't blog about just yet but I will share them next week. I did make these totally cute potholders for a friend of mine from this great free pattern I found over at Sew4Home.com. I also finished a cute book marker for my friend Amy. I stitched in on 18ct lugana and then used Wonder Under to fuse it to some yellow polka dot fabric. I used 1/4 bias to edge it and added a sheer ribbon to the top.

On Sunday morning my blow dryer decided to spark and smoke (and stink) and die. So I had to use the little heater in the bathroom to finish drying my hair. It's totally awkward and heavy and I wouldn't recommend it long term but hey...it worked!

I mailed out this cute apron that I made for another friend of ours that does the graphics for our church every week. She is an amazing artist and we are so fortunate to have her help us out the way she does. She's a very hip and funky individual and I hope she likes the vintage fabric that I picked out for hte apron. 

And today I found this wonderful soft rubber thimble

at M & L Yardage. I have never found one that is

comfortable for

me to use because my brother smashed my finger

in the window sill (thanks Hank) when we were

kids and hard thimbles are uncomfortable. I end

up stabbing myself all the time while hand sewing

and cross stitch. Now with this cute little red

thimble....problem solved!

What a random blog entry this was.....*sheesh*
