I've been busy

Well I've been so busy the last couple of weeks that I haven't had time to post.  So I guess I'll have quite a bit to post in the next couple of days.

I have an Etsy site.   Did you know that?  It's pretty small, not whole lot and mostly custom orders.  My kids keep me pretty busy with their requests, but everyone once in awhile someone will order from me and it always makes me feel so good that someone really likes my stuff well enough to pay for it!

I just sent this off about 2 weeks ago:


The customer requested some personalization and I think it turned out pretty well.

My daughter ordered this one for her good friend:

I just love making these.  I don't think I can ever get tired of making them.

I also have some other things.  I found some wonderful K-State fabric and of course had to turn them into baby burp cloths:

Now I wish I had bought the whole bolt!  I also have some with a fabulous purple chevron:

 Good K-State purple is so hard to find and when I do I usually snatch up the whole bolt!

I currently have this order in the works:
The customer wanted it a little longer so that it could be crib size.  Hopefully the extra row of blocks will work for her.  I forgot how happy the puppy quilt makes me!

Have a happy creative day!

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic.  But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again.  There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant".  There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized.  At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated.  We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

My first "I made it" week!!

  Well this was my very first "I made it" week and even though the weather wasn't the best I think it was a success.  Friday was my last day and as you can see from the collage above this was my choice for the day: Looks a lot like the pattern right?  This was so easy to put together especially since there wasn't a zipper.  This was cut as a size 8, something that I am still not used to.  I still add extra on the hips so I grade it out to a size 12.  My daughter would say that my clothes are too loose but I would say that they are nice and comfy!!  This pattern essentially has 2 collars to achieve the look.  I skipped the pockets.  I find that unless they are stitched down they usually add bulk to the sides.  I realize that most people leave reviews on the pattern and that is something that I have neglected to do so here goes.... Pattern sizing:  size 8 graded to a size 12'at the hips.  Did it look like the photo/drawi...

Sewing interruptions

Sometimes the sewing needs to get put aside for real life.  This is one of those times. My husband and I have lately been maniacs about our house remodel.  Early this year, what started out to be painting walls ended up in a total remodel of our upstairs... New doors, bathroom sinks, new bathroom floor, kitchen countertops, stained cupboards, kitchen tile etc etc It took us 7 months.  I thought we would take a break.  He wanted to redo the landscape in the front.   So out can 25 yr old bushes, a basketball goal etc etc I thought we would take a break.  Now we are repainting our house...in July...when the heat index is 110!! The mister clearly needs to leave town and quickly...  please someone call a water conference ASAP!!!
