For Julie

First of all Julie's triplets are about the cutest things ever. Two boys and one girl. I was really excited to get her crib sets done and sent to her. I had fallen in love with this fabulous bedding while sewing it.

When I was almost done my sewing machine decided to go on the fritz. I sat in my craft room crying for an hour as I tried to fix "my baby." I was dreading my old sewing machine. It really is a beast when doing heavy duty sewing.


I admitted defeat decided to take my machine to Strawberry Patches to get fixed and pulled out my old machine, which I am glad I still had. Can I tell you how glad I was I still had it to use.

I LOVE STRAWBERRY PATCHES. So I bring my machine in. One of the lady's there sat with me and my machine for a good 1/2 hr to try and figure out what was wrong with it. She decided it wasn't something she could do so I would have to wait 2 weeks before the repair man came back to Bakersfield to fix it. That is right 2 weeks.

Then she said we are going to send home a sewing machine with you so you can get your projects finished. WOW who does that. I seriously almost cried. How nice are they!!!!!!! Not just that, they sent me home with an amazing sewing machine. They are pretty much AMAZING


My pictures really do not do justice for crib sets. So Julie I fully expect pictures when they are all set up in your nursery.


The Boys



And Girl




For Andra




I love how these cute little outfits turned out. I had a great idea suggested to me to tea stain white tanks so they would match perfectly with the cream in the skirts. Tea staining is really easy and I love the finished vintage look. I had done it before on fabric for curtains but not on clothes. Of course when I finished Cambryn asked me when does she get hers.

Andra I am so glad you like them I can't wait to see pictures!





The Busy Bug

You might think that because I haven't posted anything that I haven't done any projects. Sooooo not the case. Although the 2 weeks I had my nephew I didn't get much done. 2 one yr olds are exhausting, but so much fun I was super sad to see him go. Well here are a few things I have done recently.
