| The Grinch Pillowcase Dress |
 |
| Close up of fabric Now...who doesn't love the mean ole Grinch? I made this dress from a Robert Kaufman Grinch fabric, from my stash. It is for a friend's child. I later embroidered the slogan "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" on the border.. But forgot to take a photo, before mailing..oooops!!!! Are you sewing any Christmas projects? |
 |
| Hope you and family have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!! My house is getting ready for the big day... Today: I have cleaned most of the day. I mopped the kitchen and bathrooms, vaccummed the rest of the house. Made cornbread for stuffing, cut up onions and celery and put in plastic dishes, ready for making the stuffing. Tomorrow: I will get the baking done. I am planning on a chocolate ding dong cake. Pecan pies and Lemon ice box pie. Thanksgiving: Early morning ..Put on turkey and stuffing. And get ready for the kids !!!!! What are you thankful for this holiday season? I am thankful for my Salvation, My walk with the Lord. My family and their health. And my dear friends... God bless each of you!! |

| My light blue cardigan , that I found at the thrift store last year, is just perfect. |
 |
| Close up of fabric. This is the best fit of any of the Olivia Wrap dresses, I have made. The neckline is modest .The skirt has plenty of room to cross over. I would like to thank Eva for all her help and inspiration. Please check out her blog to see the adorable Olivia Walton dresses , she has created. .http://theopulentpoppy.blogspot.com/2012/11/busy-bees-housedress-honeycomb-print.html |

| Olivia Walton's Green hectagon wrap dress. I love this fabric.. But, I couldn't find anything similar to it. But, I will keep on looking.. Now, that the dress is fitting so well, I will be making more of them. It is the most comfortable dress, for church or working around the house.. Just perfect!!! |
 |

| Remember the horrible desk chair.. Doesn't it look better? Fabric from thrift store.$3.00 find. Desk top was covered with wall paper [red check with white lines..]This find came from a local carpet store. |
 |
| Bookshelf .. I added the wall paper to the back of the shelves.It is pretty in person [Oh how I wish I could take decent photos.!!] Cathe, do you see the sewing machine emblem on it? thankyou! |
 |
| An old rolling table, with a pull out shelf, finds a prettier life. Kenny brought this home to me , from a friend who was going to oust it. It is perfect for my embroidery machine, since it has to be rolled to my computer to be used.. But now it has a new look!!! Just wait and see!!! |
 |
| Curtains made from a white sheet I found at the thrift store for $2. It is really pretty, It is white stripes on white..Then I made the topper out of red/white gingham check fabric on the bottom, with a white/pink/red/vintage floral fabric. I just love this little corner!!! |
 |
| Embroidery Machine Table.. Now ,isn't she alot prettier with her new red/white gingham check skirt, with a new pink/red/blue floral vintage fabric table topper! Whenever I am ready to embroider, I just roll her over the computer. Perfect Free Table and a wonderful , thoughtful hubby. |
 |
| I thought I would show you...I even cleaned out my sewing desk drawer, to show you I cleaned it.. But...did you notice that I didn't open the closet and cuppard doors to show photos of all my "ABUNDANT" fabrics..[Because, I didn't get around to cleaning and refolding it..] Oooops... I shouldn't tell off on myself.ha |
 |
| Center strap added to keep the shoulder strap from falling off shoulders. Justine's idea for this was great. http://www.sewcountrychick.com/2012/10/a-folksy-suspender-skirt.html |
