The Ruffler

I should never have started looking at sewing machine accessories tonight... OH MAN! There are so many awesome presser feet out there!! I now have a gathering foot, a rolled hem foot, and a binding foot coming my way and I can NOT wait for them to get here!!!

And just for fun, check out this crazy thing!



Also, on a side note. I've found a project to get me out of my creative slump. I'm going to be making myself a wallet! I bought two patterns last night from NapKitten on Etsy. Now I just need to decide on which one to do.

On Hold

My creative life seems to have been put on hold... This past week has been GO GO GO. Between staying home with my Juniper, freelance work for Obor, babysitting 4 elementary school aged kids in the afternoon, making an extremely lame attempt at keep this house in order, being pregnant (so exhausting..), a bit of tutoring in web design on the side and church responsibilities, I hardly have time to sit down and eat a decent meal. (Chips and salsa for dinner? Again?) And sleep? Right. That. Is that important??

So needless to say, my art room has been pretty lonely... It needs some loving. *sigh* I feel like I just need to lock myself in there for a whole day and make something or I might implode.

Being a stay-at-home mom is tough work..

I'll leave you with yet another picture of the cute little face that gets me through the day. I love this kid ♥

Etsy Love - Lockets

I thought I'd take a break from sewing tonight and share a little Etsy Love. I am obsessed with lockets lately. I just need someone to hint to my husband that I'd love anything from the birdsoforegon shop. SO honey if you're reading this... *cough*mixtape*cough*

I Did It!

I signed up for a little last minute craft fair fun! I used to sell my goodies at the Artistree Co-op last year. Things at work were keeping me too busy to stay with it though... But I guess that's one of the bright sides of being laid off! I have been seriously lacking in the motivation department lately though.. (I'm blaming it on the pregnancy) So this could be exactly what I need to get me back into it. Now I've got one week to get some inventory together. Time to unpack the studio!

Long Lost

Has it really been a whole month since I last posted? Does anyone even read this blog anyway?? Things have been crazy. I won't get into it all here... For now I'll just leave all you non-existent blog readers with this adorable picture of my fashionable toddler.

She picked the outfit ♥
