The Neighbors Had Babies!

The beige goat with the center stripe had twins. In the 2nd picture she was off to go get the other one so it could have some milk too. The one with her kept trying but momma wouldn't let it with out the other one there.


The white goat with the brown neck hat 1 baby. That is hers in the background sitting.

Aren't they just the cutest?!

Sewing Sewing

I was making a frog bag last night following a picture tutorial. I missed something HUGE because mine looks NOTHING like a "box bag". It's more like a large fancy pencil bag haha. Oh well. I haven't really been sewing for such a long time! I figure 6 years ago was when my Husqevarna quit on me. I'm not doing a bad job. I'm just rusty ;-) Luckily I have enough fabric to make another one. Here is what I ended up with!

A little zip

My fabrics from the Repro Depo are coming along. I'm really enjoying my new sewing machine. I have 2 bags cut out, and a few zippy bags. The zippy bags are the perfect size for notions or pencils or what ever littles that get lost. Here is a picture of my first one. It's a japanese print of little squirrels. VERY cute! As you can see, I still need to finish hand sewing the liner in :)


The hot pink kitties are at a stand still for now. I need a lining similar to quilt batting, so that means going shopping in a couple days. :D

I haven't decided what to do with the chicken fabric. Someone pointed me to a really nice tutorial. So I may do that.

Sneak Preview

Here is a sneak peak of what is going in the shop today.
I couldn't wait for the rest of my yarns to dry. So here is a mini update of the new MCN yarn base going on.
Cowboys, Raspberry Sour, Mossy Glade, and Evergreen

Goodies in the Mail

A package from Oklahoma full neat stuff. A mitten kit. some lady bug cuteness, origami paper, a notepad, a soap sample, a couple a cards, and some starbucks VIA coffee.



Here is the fabrics I ordered from Retro Depot! I love them!. The baby blue one with the stuffed animals on it is for the baby quit top I found. The squirrels is a heavy almost canvas. The chickens and cats are not reproductions they are actually limited older prints. I didn't get much of them. I hope to get a couple project bags or lunch bags out of them for the shop. It will be fun :)
