A Gift for my Hubby

November 25, 2008 · 2 Comments

Jeremy has been wanting a leather rollup thing to put his guitar stuff in for school – such as sandpaper/nailclippers.. etc. He is a classical guitarist – so his nails have to be perfect – weird I know… but he plays great!

He never, ever looks at my website – so I’m crossing my fingers that he won’t feel the sudden urge to check it out within the next month… haha!

After a few days of browsing the web for cool embroidery patterns I thought I would try and make one of my own. I haven’t actually tried out any of the patterns yet – but I am so anxious to do it… I just have to find the time. But here is my first attempt modeled after the peace sign fabric I found & made in Adobe Illustrator! Feel free to try it out if you want to!

A Fabric Scrap Ornament

November 20, 2008 · 3 Comments

So today I had a pile of fabric scraps next to my sewing machine… and I looked over and saw my clear glass ball ornaments that I had bought a couple of years ago – which I meant to paint… but never did! I was thinking that MAN that might look cute hanging from a tree – and they did turn out halfway decent looking!

Unique DS Case

November 18, 2008 · 2 Comments

So I might as well admit it – I bought myself a Nintedo DS! I know it may seem like a childish thing to do – but have you seen all the commercials with the celebrity’s?! If you haven’t then you should – if you have – then you know how convincing they are! Haha!

Well… since I bought one I didn’t want it to get all scratched up – because not only would be husband be very mad, but it would be like I was wasting all that money I spent! So I made a case for it! Also – I was told not to get pink…because Jeremy wants to play it to! Ha – so I guess its not JUST me that thinks they are cool! So anyway – I wanted something to make it a little prettier… and I did!

By the way…. this is my 100th post! Yay for me actually sticking with something for once in my life! I hope that there will be several more 100’s to come!

I now can make booties in sizes 0-3, 3-6, 6-9 and 9-12 months! This is my first attempt at a bigger size and they turned out great! I love the new fabrics I have to – it gives the Priss Pot name such a new upbeat look – which I think – is just what it needed! :)

So when the writers were on strike this past year a bunch of different actors/ writers got together and made tiny TV shows…. this is the website that plays them. I watched House Poor, Joe & Kate and Faux Baby – but there are a bunch of different ones! They are super funny!

HPFWC Craft Festival

November 10, 2008 · 1 Comment

This wasn’t as successful as I planned on it being – or had hoped it would be. But it was a good learning experience and I did sell a couple of items as well as get one custom order placed! Here are a few pictures from my table…

At the festival I ended up leaving a little early and spending the day with my sister instead. I wanted to put this picture up from the tiny photo shoot we had because I just love it.
