Added buttons.

I added a vintage button.

Inside of bag.

The purple bag for some reason took forever. I had to keep unpicking and resewing. I'm glad it's finished. It did turn out cute. On to pillowcases, skirts, and quilts!!

Cute Orange Bag

2009-08-13T22:02:00.000-06:00

This is the first bag that I have made, I learned a lot about what to do differently next time. I'm pretty tickled with it, though!

2009-07-30T13:28:00.000-06:00

Another hat prototype - by Sarah

2009-07-28T19:07:00.001-06:00

Here's another style I'm testing out. The embellishment is called a posie and this is my very first attempt at making one. It's layers of wool felt, pretty fabrics and a jeweled button.

Finished Hat. And some inspiration.

2009-07-18T17:48:00.001-06:00

Here's my first birdie hat. The only thing I'll change next time is to use a darker thread for stitching the bird to the hat. Otherwise I love it! And it was easier than expected. Expect many more of these in the Etsy shop soon.

Current obsession: fabric. In particular, Michael Miller Carnival Bloom. LOVE this print.

Pillowcases and a Bib

2009-07-15T23:30:00.000-06:00

Having fun sewing and spending time with the kids. We all had supper at the Prairie Schooner this evening. Yummy steak! The kids were very well behaved. The kids go back to MN tomorrow, boo-hoo.

Hat In Progress

2009-07-14T13:38:00.000-06:00

It's Sarah here, posting from hot and muggy Minnesota.

I'll be contributing to the blog periodically - my knitted items will also be for sale in the Etsy shop. Here's a hat I'm creating for my friend Ingrid's daughter. She's the "guinea pig" so hopefully it turns out well. If so, I plan to sell these for fall. I'm using bulky Lamb's Pride hot pink and chocolate brown and will add a felt bird applique to add a little flair!

Stop back to the blog often for project and shop announcements. Since our shop is so new, help us grow by recommending us to friends and family. Thanks!

Gaylene (sis-in-law) asked for a quilt top from left-over fabric from Mollie's quilt. Her mom will quilt it. Gaylene is doing a booth at the Morgan County Fair and she is going to auction it for the Relay for Life. I think it turned out pretty cute!

Twirly Dresses on Etsy

2009-07-11T22:57:00.000-06:00

My darling daughter-in-law Katie helped me list 2 darling little dresses on Etsy this evening. (After a few phone calls to Sarah!) I've been sewing up a storm making dresses for the babies and other friends kids, making some rag quilts and a few quilt tops. Also making some pajama pants for the boys out of Utah Jazz fabric. Hal, Katie and Sophia flew in from MN on Thursday afternoon for some fun here in UT. Hal has been here for a week and I will fly back to MN with him next Sunday. Beautiful weather today and yesterday. We went to the Dinosaur Park and Museum yesterday. It was so fun, I was very impressed. Hal and I continue to look for a home here in UT.

Lots of Fabric

2009-06-19T21:51:00.000-06:00

I don't know what got into me, probably lack of sleep, but the other day I decided I would preshrink all the fabric that I am using on the little dresses. It is a massive amount of fabric and now I am trying to iron all of it so that it can be folded and sorted. I ironed for 3 hours straight and didn't make a dent in it. I should be ironing right now but I can't force myself to. Had a day off from the kids today. Hailey went to a family reunion with Jason's parents for the weekend. She is feeling much better now that she is on ATB for strep. Ikey is on ATB for his ears again, but much more pleasant. Hopefully Liz can get some sleep tonight. I'm sure I will as I'm home tonight. Today is Dad's 84th birthday. He had a great day today. Sarah and Katie are running in Grandma's 1/2 Marathon tomorrow morning. Good for those running girls. I wish I could be there to cheer them on. Missing my babies in MN, but looking forward to Hal, Katie, and Sophia coming to UT in July, can't wait. I have some ideas for new little girl dresses. But have to finish the ironing first. Later...

Catching Up

2009-06-12T22:36:00.000-06:00

Wow. it's been a busy month. Trip to Mn to visit the kids and Hal. Home to a sick daughter who had surgery on Tues. She's doing better. I've been sewing like mad when I'm home. I made 2 cupcake dresses and a yellow and purple dress since I've been home. If I knew how to post pictures I would. New carpet was installed in the family room on Wed. Yaaa, no more stinky carpet. Lots of rain lately. But a nice sunny day today. Jason's going to army for 2 weeks starting tomorrow. Ike is finally walking. It is so cute. Love my darling grandkids. Bought cowboy fabric to make a boy quilt. More later...

I can't stop feeling sick!

2009-05-04T21:55:00.000-06:00

I've had an earache in one or both ears for the past 3 nights. Sore throat, swollen glands, general fatigue. I am so sick of feeling sick. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Elwood is gone, he was not a good fit for us. Lisa and Dad went to Park City on Saturday and adopted Lucy, a purebed Shiz Tzu. She is 12 yrs. old and very sweet. Lisa has been keeping her overnight until I feel better. I'm working on a quilt for my niece, Molly, for her graduation. I think she will love it, I do. Very bright colors. Will be heading back to MN on Saturday for about 2 1/2 weeks. Need to get outside and finish weeding!

May Day

2009-05-01T23:52:00.000-06:00

Wow, I haven't blogged for so long and so much has happened. Let's see... I watched Ikey last week due to his having pinkeye. Gross. The he had a bad ear infection and I slept over at their house one night. Hal came into town last Saturday. Big April birthday party at Lisa's on Sunday but Ike had to miss his first b-day due to being sick. Ruby died on Wednesday morning, she was very old, 17 or 18. It was very sad. We buried her in Lisa's backyard. We got a new dog for Dad today, Elwood. He's about 8 yrs old. Part Llasa . Scruffy but cute. Dad loved him up, took him for a walk, laid down and took a nap. When he woke up he called Lisa, "There's a little black and white dog here, do you know about him? And where's Ruby?" We had to laugh. Elwood went out to the potty and ran away from me, when I picked him up he bit me. OWWW! Then came in a did a HUGE barf on the carpet! Lisa should be sleeping over tonight! More soon....

Busy Week So Far

2009-04-22T19:28:00.000-06:00

Well, you saw the title. Worked at the shop on Mon and Tues evenings. Took Lizzie to lunch at Artisan Grille for her birthday yesterday. Hailey slept over last night, she had a tubby in the big tub, (man was she dirty), slept for a little while with Grandma, very sweet. I had an early call from Lizzie this morning, Ike has pinkeye. So, Hailey and I went to their house early this morning. Hailey DID NOT want to go home, she kept saying "stop the car". It was darling. We had a fun and gooey day with Ike on his birthday. I went with Lizzie to Ike's 1 year appt. He was so cute and sweet. The we all went to Texas Roadhouse for Ike's birthday dinner. It was a fun day. Oh, and thanks Jason for mowing the lawn. It looks great!

Utah!

2009-04-19T22:13:00.000-06:00

Flew in early this afternoon and drove straight to Lizzie's, I've been missing those babies. No car trouble at the airport like last time. Smooth sailing. Ike is saying uh-oh like there is no tomorrow, he is darling and his hair is getting redder and redder. Hailey June totally ignored me for the new kitten. (Not that I blame her). I did get some hugs and kisses and a ride in the car with her. Alls well here at Dad's house. Beautiful weather, flowers blooming and weeds growing. Will try to get some weeding done tomorrow. I'm sure the neighbors hate looking at them. I want to plant a clematis and Japanese maple next to the porch. I think it will look really pretty. I need to get the rocks out first though. Goodnight!

1st Birthday Party!

2009-04-18T22:23:00.000-06:00

We had a blast at Abby's birthday party this afternoon. The birthday girl was in her glory wearing her pink tutu and sparkly t-shirt. MANY gifts were received and loved by Miss Abby Girl. Sophia Belle was also adorable in her little summer outfit. She sang "Happy Birthday" to Abby. It was darling. The dress fits Sophia well and she looked darling in it. Maybe one of the girls will post some pictures for me. I should be packing at this very moment instead of typing. Early flight tomorrow morning. I'll miss my Hal and my kids here. Back to the real world!

Friday Night in MN

2009-04-17T20:56:00.000-06:00

Had a lovely date tonight with Hal, we went to dinner at Ruby Tuesday's in Stillwater. Very nice, although we did go early with all the oldsters and families. Stopped at Sarah and Nate's to pick up some chairs to take to Abby's birthday party tomorrow. Came home and Hal made his wonderful salsa, while I put the buttonholes on Sophia's new dress, hopefully it will fit without much adjustment. I can't wait to see her in it. I will really miss my MN girlies when I go back to UT.

Sophia's Dress

2009-04-17T12:59:00.000-06:00

Thought I post a picture of the dress I made in MN for Sophia Belle. I also made some cute pincushions.

Many Days Off.

2009-04-15T18:19:00.000-06:00

The weather in MN has been beautiful the last few days. Very difficult to get any sewing done. I'm almost finished with Sophia's birthday quilt, but I have to give my hand a rest from all the snipping. I am working on a darling Pink Fig dress for Sophia. Just need to try it on her, I think it may be too big around her, as she is a skinny-minny. Apparently Abby started walking up a storm this evening, I totally missed it. I'll be back in UT on Sunday afternoon, will miss the kids here in MN. Oh, yesterday I did make a trip to Stillwater to my fave store Rose Mille, its full of vintagey goodness and glittery fun. I love it. Also, visited a few quilt shops, and have a mess of fabric to ship to UT. More later...

Fun with the girls!

2009-04-07T16:46:00.000-06:00

Last night I had supper with Hal, Katie and Sophia Belle. Great Chili dinner made by Hal and we colored Easter eggs. I think maybe the adults had more fun than Sophia. AAh! the lovely smell of vinegar. This morning I went with Sarah and Abby up to Anoka for baby pictures. Even though Abby wasn't feeling well, she still performed for the camera. I'm sure they will be adorable. Ready to start sewing Sophia's quilt tonight. Picked up a bunch of orange fabrics for a boy baby quilt, fun!

Minnesota Monday!

2009-04-06T08:30:00.000-06:00

I arrived in MN on Saturday morning on an early am flight from Salt Lake. It was snowing in UT when I left and the plane had to be deiced. We woke up yesterday morning to about and inch of snow on the ground, but it rapidly melted. Hal and I went over to visit Hal, Katie, and Sophia yesterday morning. She kills me, talking (and singing) like mad. What a doll!! I'm starting a twin size quilt for Sophia with Amy Butler and Lila Tueller fabrics. It will be darling. All pinks, blues, and yellows! I am awaiting Abby girl to wake up from her nap, I haven't seen her yet. Hopefully will visit some quilt shops today! More later!

My Life: Babies, Quilts, and Alzheimer's

2009-04-03T23:17:00.000-06:00

Well, this is probably not the best time to be starting a blog. It will probably be hit and miss for a while. I travel back and forth between Utah and Minnesota about every other month. I live most of the time in UT with my dad, Bob, who has Alzheimer's. My husband, and two oldest children and their families live in MN. My youngest and her family live in UT. I love to make rag quilts for babies, (especially my own), & I work for my sister at her shop, Dinner's Ready. (Very fun and full of hilarity). I'm an RN and worked in long-term care with the elderly for 9 years in MN. Loved it. I miss my oldsters. More later, I need to pack for MN.
