Just about ready!!!

I can see the end of my fabric piles and it looks GOOD! :)

Since the sewing is just about finished, I'm taking the weekend off to do a little fishin'. Not sure if I'll be very happy about that since tomorrow is going to be the hottest day so far this summer. Let's just hope the kids don't get cranky... as you know they will.

Well, here's to tomorrow! :)

Still Workin'

Well, at least I'm trying too! Last week was Bible School and that was a full week all on it's on.

Slowly but surely, I'll get things done. So far, I've made about 6 new purses... can't wait to take pictures of those! About 6 checkbook covers, 10 chalk mats and still have LOTS more to go. I am running low on supplies and with the little bit of time I have left, I don't know if I'll be able to get more to work on or not.

As soon as I can, I'll post some pictures of those new bags. They really are awesome and I have already claimed at least 2 bags if they don't sell!

Please keep me in your prayers as I try to finish everything up; I feel like a fish swimming up-stream these days!!!

Workin' Hard...

Well, I think I have gotten the last of my stuff cut out for the jamboree. Yes, you are reading this correctly. I have everything cut out; NOT sewn!



It's been so busy around here getting to know Michelle and trying to keep the summer a little fun and I haven't been working as much as I could have and should have.

Now, I'll have to sew like a mad woman to get what I want to offer finished. Thankfully, I do have lots of stuff ready and I'm not going to sweat it. Just need to work on some things that need to be replenished. Like purses, wallets, checkbook covers, pillowcase dresses & hairbows! Not too much huh??? ;o) No worries, it'll all get finished!

As I get a few things finished, I'll post pictures and update as much as I can. Now, back to work!

I've been Tagged!

One of my Blogging buddies has tagged me! Let's see what I can come up with on this:

The rules: List Six Unimportant Things that Make you Happy.

1. Flowers ~ Not sure why but seeing wild flowers blowing in the wind just kind of brings a smile to my face. I don't care too much for the scents but I like seeing them.

2. Ice Cream ~ What kind of person would I be to not get happy about ice cream? Especially home made butterfinger ice cream... I will be making some tomorrow! YUMMY!!

3. Clouds with sunshine streaming through them ~ I can see the hand of God everytime I see clouds with rays streaming though. There is such a feeling and sense of perfection everytime I see them. It just makes my soul sing with Joy everytime!

4. Dark Chocolate ~ Talk about a sinful pleasure! It brings sweet relief everytime I pop a peice of dark chocolate in my mouth.

5. Jewelry ~ No matter how much weight I gain, jewelry always fits and brings a sweet smile to my face.

6. Flip Flops ~ I just like them... they are colorful, easy to flip on and off!

Ok, so that's a little about me... let's see I tag Natashia at Tennessee Cakes & Bethany at Bethany Tramel Photography !

I'm a Winner & I'm working on flipflops

Natasha over at Tennessee Cakes had a great give-a-way and I was the VERY lucky Winner!!! I never win anything so this really had me super excited! Not only is her jewelry so pretty and unique, but it can be personalized for you... what more can you want???
Thanks so much Natasha! I love it!!!


Be sure to check out her link and order something from her! You won't be disappointed at all... I'm ordering again shortly AND I just found out her booth at the Smithville Jamboree is right next to mine! How cool is that? Be sure to check us both out!

I've got new flipflops with bows on them available... These will be available at the jamboree and after, I will add them to the website. Lots of great stuff to be added to the site as soon as I have a bit of time!

Off to work on some Jamboree Items!!!

100th Post & Rag Babies

Drum Roll Please!!!!

This is it: The 100th post on my Blog! I feel like I should celebrate or something! :)

I finally got 2 orders completed and I'm up to date on orders. For this month, I will not accept any orders that will have to go out this month. I do need to prepare for the jamboree! I've oiled my machine, dusted her and she's ready to sew. Now, I just have to get everything cut out and ready for assembly.

Another busy Weekend!

Well, I can tell you that we have been taking advantage of the nice weather! :)

We had our potential adoption daughter with us for the second weekend. Her case worker wants us to have at least 2 more visits before they allow her to move in. Remember, a child must live with you for 6 months before you can file for adoption. So, we are waiting our time. We have already fallen for this kiddo and are having a hard time waiting...

I do have two babies that are on order and both will be completed tomorrow! I'm so sorry I've been so slow with these orders but I promise, it's been for family! I'll post pictures as soon as I get them ready for their close-ups.

In other news, I've been avoiding the sewing room because its in my dining room and I didn't want to have to set it up and break it down so much but since time is running out to finish so much stuff for the jamboree, I better get with it!

Please remember us in your prayers! I know I really need them right now. With these emotional roller-coasters we've been riding since April, extreme fatigue has set in. Does it get better???
