Etsy Baby Shower and My Wednesday Sewing Projects

I participated as a donor shop for the Etsy Winter Baby Shower held this month for the third time and absolutely loved doing it.  I enjoy so much being paired with a new momma or momma- to- be and surprising her with a goodie or two. Check out the Etsy Baby Shower blog to see the great donating shops, gifts, and babies that have arrived . If you are an Etsy shop that has not participated int he past you really should consider it for the next time; you will not be disappointed!

Wednesday is the middle of my work week but more the beginning of my sewing week many times. This week I have been very busy listing the "Sammie" bags that I made over the weekend see here and here for a cute Cowboy Frog and I still have several left to list. I completed 2 additional little boy sets and have a bunch of items cut out to start sewing tomorrow during lunch and after work. Working from a home office has it's advantages for sure :)

More to come later in the week when I have some of those cute outfits all sewn together that are now laying on my cutting table and I will post some pics here as well as in my Etsy Shop click here for the latest listings.

Monday Specials and Snippets

Monday is here already....another very short weekend but ooohhhh soooo much fun. Heather (daughter in law) hosted a baby shower for my other daughter in law Martha in our home Sat. and we all had a great time! Martha is a first time mommy to be and needed all the right equipment to get started. I think she received almost everything she had on her registries! This is one of the first pics taken and Martha is on the left and her Grandma Dottie is on the right. I will post more pics later in the week when we have had some time to go through and get them just right:)

Our sale for this week is for winter items only. Pick any winter item of your choice and take 25% off that item. Please let me know in the message to seller box that you are a blog reader so that I know to give you a discount.  Free shipping as always.

Weather permitting (we need some sunshine) today I will be taking some pics of 2 new little boy sets and the much awaited "New Sammie Bags" will be on the site by tonight so check that out later as well. I just love the little boy sets and had a lot of fun choosing fabrics and making up the new sammies (there will be a special surrounding bringing these back as well so read my shop announcement here to see what that special will be. The post will not be up until the first Sammie is posted this evening:)

Have a great week and remember to do something that makes you happy!

Monday Specials and Snippets

I am starting off this blog asking for prayers for several families that have lost a love one this past week or weekend. The 1st request is for Stan, Jodie and their entire family- their youngest (just 7) daughter Savannah went to be with the Lord Friday after a 5 year battle with brain cancer. The 2nd request is for my daughter-in-laws friend Brooke B. and her family. Her daddy passed away unexpectedly Friday and had not been ill prior to his death so this has been especially hard for his family. My 3rd request is for Brenda whose Momma passed on Sat. she had started Chemo again and it was just too much for her heart. I know all of the family's will appreciate your prayers.

My special this week is a "Make Your Own Sale" you may take 25% off any 1 item you choose through midnight EST Sunday Feb. 21st.

This was a busy day at work which is always nice and then I had the grands for a little bit for Heather to go to a memorial service for a friends husband. I also cut out 4 little boys outfits that will be worked up this week and be posted to my Etsy shop which you can visit here
Everyone have a great week and do something that makes you happy!

Wednesday Sewing Project

Wednesday already.... where has my week gone so far?? It is nice when a week goes by quickly so you have another weekend to look forward to and I do love my weekends for sure.

I have one little new outfit to post today that I completed last night. This fabric is a re-purposed  vintage child's drapery panel and the little pillow case dress and Capri pants turned out pretty darn cute if I do say so myself.  Still trying to decide on the color of the satin ribbons that will be added to the shoulders and tied into beautiful bows... leaning towards a chocolate brown to bring out the bears a bit . These will not be in my shop since the panels came from a boutique that I sew for however you can see the pics below:

The Goldilocks drapery panel was so cute and the fabric very very soft. Sandy has said she has additional panels so I will make up a few other pieces as well.








Sewing Tip of the Week: Always press after each seam - your finished garment or other items will look much more professional for it.


Hugs,
Suzann

Monday Specials and Snippets

Happy Monday Morning Everyone!!! My post this morning will be short and sweet...just a little snippet and a Weekly Special:)

Snippet - Heather and I took Phil up to TN this weekend to pick up his car and get some things in order, got the grand tour of Bert & Ernies (another brother's bar), hit a couple of outlet malls coming back and found a couple good deals on items we were looking for, hit tons and tons of traffic coming back home as well and we were totally exhausted by the time it was all over but fun just the same.  I took a bunch of pics going up and back (Heather likes for me to do that) and will post a couple in my next post. We had snow flurries for a good bit and there was still snow on the ground from their last snow which was nice to see.

Weekly Special- Starting now and ending on Sunday night midnight est. 14th. ........Buy any Pillowcase dress and receive another of your choice for 50% off. You can see some examples Here and again here. The links are just a couple of the ones I have in the shop so sopt in and have fun stocking up on your pillow case dresses this week.
