Vacation

Well I have to say this was a pretty productive week while I was on vacation.  I made a pillow for some family members that celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary, even though it was last year!!  We actually were on vacation last year when they celebrated it and wasn't able to attend

I also fixed a bathing suit for a friend.  When she bought it, it showed too much cleavage for her comfort so I fixed it by adding some material to the top

 

She let me know that it turned out perfect which always makes you feel good about helping others.

 

I also made 2 sets of baby bath towels

 

Fixed 2 pairs of shorts and repaired sheets for my brother.  I'm sorry to see the week end but feel very rested and relaxed and I guess ready to go back to work tomorrow.

 

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day and please remember the true reason we celebrate this day



Well until next time,

Jodi



 



Some Sewing Getting Done

Well I'm having a very hard time getting my sewing mojo going!!  Not really sure whats up but just can't seem to get myself motivated, not for lack of projects Lord knows I have plenty and then some.  I did manage to get a small item made last week, I know I know I'm a week late in talking about it but I've had so much going on with out of town guests, nephew's graduation and party and car issues to name a few there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day!!  I have a yard sale I'm setting up at tomorrow and really wanted to have more crafty items to put in it than I do but I guess I'll have to make do with what I have done.

Anyway, on to what I did get done last week, in checking out Karen's blog at Sew Many Ways a project caught my eye made by Crafty Vegas Mom, it's an IPhone/IPad pillow.

It really was quite easy to make, I put crushed walnut shells in mine also to give it some weight. 

I do have a couple projects in the works as well, remember when I blogged about my red and white squares 

well I have all the centers looking like cathedral windows, now to get the sashing and corner blocks cut and then it shouldn't take me anytime to get them stitched together and have another quilt top that I'll have to make some time to quilt.  I also have been trying to work on the Amish with a Twist BOM

 that I picked up at Calico Cupboard. 

Maybe just deciding which project to work on would help with the mojo, I don't know???

Until next time,

Jodi

BJ & Jenn's Wedding Gift

Here's the pillow I made for BJ & Jenn, this is made from the same material as Jenn's dress and the ribbon matches the ribbon from her garter.
