All my new fabrics
I received my new order of fabric from Fabric.com. I have to finish the 2 purses I'm working on now, and then I can't wait to dig into the new stuff. I wish I knew when Amy Butler's new Forest line was coming out - I'm dying to get some.
Here was the not so great picture from my camera phone of a great and dramatic entrance by Michael Buble! Boy he is fun to watch, such a great voice! We had a great time!
Well, spring is not here yet but I got some tulips for the kitchen until it's nice enough outside to plant some flowers. This year I'm going to get a bunch of succulents for the inside, the rosette kind. The one succulent I have now is doing awesome! I'm really ready for spring!
Ok, not the best picture but here's by new Babette bag, it's a shoulder bag. I really like this one a lot!!
String is the yarn store mom and I went to yesterday, this photo does not do it justice - they have so much yarn! We picked out some yarn for the curly Sue scarf mom is going to make me and for our Etsy shop, the one we're going to put in our shop is this beautiful honey color, so sweet and just right for Spring with a tank or 'T'!
While we were enjoying our lunch the pooches found the paper plate stash in the basement - looks like fun!
The Paige Pocket.
I think this will be my large version, it can hold a pouch of Kleenex. I like the 2 pockets on the inside. I need to design my smaller version.
I am going to start on my nephews sock monkey this weekend, I got the Rockford Reds in the mail today!
Sometimes we call Griswold 'Bubble boy' becuase he was born without the personal space bubble that most humans and dogs seem to have. He has no regard for others' personal space - it is pretty cute though!
This is my new bag I'm selling at my Etsy store. I'm really happy with it, I'm going to make another one with some pink and brown Amy butler fabric. I'm hoping to finish it this week. I also accidentally made a really nice wallet the other day, jus experimenting with snaps, I'm going to make some of those next, it will have 2 pockets. I have a name already picked out too, it will be the Paige Pocket. Then I want to experiment with making some fabric picture frames, Like the one's at Anthropologie but not $50. Oh yeah and i have a great pattern for a clutch, I want to find cool vintage fabric though a BIG floral would be really cool. I'm loving Etsy, oh and I sold my first thing last week!! Not that anyone reads this anyway but you can check me out at MaryMo.Etsy.com!
Cheers!
The boys sure have a look of satisfaction after a game of fetch in the snow and a milk bone!
Drying out pictures
So aparently it's easier than you would think to puncture a water line while nailing in baseboard. We did this back in January and were not made aware until Saturday afternoon when we noticed water leaking down from the sub floor into the basement. We nailed 2 perfectly centered nail holes into the hot water pipe near the floor in the living room. Hopefully not more than $1,000 later the floors just need to dry out so we have fans running everywhere and a de-humidifier. What a weekend!
So maybe I'm the only female who isn't a fan of Oprah. She seems nice enough I guess but I feel like very time I happen across her show for a moment (which is maybe 2 times a year really) It's a bunch of woman going way overboard in their excitement level of a celebrity like Tom Cruise and his love for his young enough to be his daughter girlfriend, or when Julia Roberts was prego with twins the crowd was balling and screaming - you'd think Elvis showed up or something. Ladies, people have twins all the time - why don't I find it the least bit interesting that Julia Roberts had twins - Big Whoop!
Anyway, I saw this mag at Vitamin Cottage and it cracked me up, why is SHE always on the cover of her magazine? Maybe she figures it's better than James Frey.
So I've been totally absessed with Typography lately, I've been wanting these silver letter M's ofr our bookshelves but missed the auction for some Pottery Barn ones, but my DH found 2 of these at a Thrift store in LoDo - I was so excited! We're going to make a big whit edistressed wooden one for our kitchen wall by our fridge too. The when I do our picture gallery on our hallway wall I'm going to frame some important letters and numbers mixed in with the pics, I think it will look pretty cool!
