Sew-er-riffic!

Oh my golly! Where have you been all my life new sewing machine?!??!? I canNOT belieeeeve how awesomely awesome this is! It's so smooth. The needle glides through the fabric. It's really quite breathtaking. I think I'm going to turn the cupcake design into a pillow. Plop some vintage fabric on the back & I'm done!I'm just having fun with scraps of fabric & ALL the different stitches! My girls are excited for me to make them something with all those fancy designs.

I got a treasury over at Etsy. It's full of wonderfully sweet & pink mushrooms. Check it out HERE! The pendant pictured is from Tizzalicious.

Tomorrow I shall be having Nikki Time with my grandmother. She has invited me to a fashion show at the senior center. I hope there really are sweet old ladies struttin' their stuff on the catwalk. That would be AWESOME! Then, we're going to pick out some flowers to fill all my empty pots & containers around the yard. It's a birthday present from my grandma! I'll take pics & share later in the weekend.

Craft on my little WhiMSy love-ers!

R.I.P. Old Girl...

My old sewing machine, which wasn't really mine, has passed away. It was born at JCPenney in the fabulous 80's, & though I love the 80's, I needed something new & improved. She was the machine I learned to sew on. But, she had an attitude problem these last few weeks. It was her time to go. (In this picture she holds in her "teeth" the last of my sewing projects that she chewed up.)

I'm now happy to have a new sewing buddy. She's lightweight, she has electronic features, she has a handy slot to insert my favorite picture & she's ALL mine!!! She's sew perfect! (haha! Lame. I know.)

Aaaaaand, I am SUPER excited to announce that my book art has returned to WhiMSy love!!! Vintage books become 3-D art on your walls. They're called "Writing on the Wall", the title they were given while appearing on realmdekor.com. I asked the lovely Lisa at Realm Dekor for permission to "steal" this title & she kindly let me. I just think "Writing on the Wall" sounds so cool!

This particular fold is called "Forever" & it's available in the shop today!

I have created several different folds & I give each shape a name. They make unique, one-of-a-kind gifts.

Oh, I'm working on a really fun project for a customer & I can't wait to share it with you as soon as I fine tune everything!
