happy thursday!!! hope all is well with you. not sure when i will get my sewing machine back. that thing has been through a lot with me. many, many, MANY hours of sewing for school. all my fashion girls know what i mean…aww i miss those girls. maybe one day i will get a new machine, but that one….which my parents gave me about 6ish years ago is still going strong. besides the minor injury. :) in the mean time, working on a knitting project AND fun stuff for my friend’s baby shower! helping out with decorations. exciting! on another note…here’s some lovelies for ya.

cute news….and sad news.

Category: everyday | March 2nd, 2010

sad news first…my machine is broke. sigh. going to the shop tomorrow morning. sigh. i was working on a really cute project too! there might have been a tear…or two :( guess i just realized how much it is a part of my life.
sad
(pretty sad pic of me…lol)
cute news…the hubby tried to fix it for about an hour. it was cute. lol. i love him. maybe God is trying to tell me to do something else. it would have been nice to not break my machine, but whatever has to be done. ;) just wanted to write to anything of my readers or browsers out there…who are frustrated or sad….not to give up and to praise God anyways. this reminded me of my favorite poem/quote/saying…

happy moments, praise God.
difficult moments, seek God.
quiet moments, worship God.
painful moments, trust God.
every moment, thank God.

so now im going to go cook some food. food always helps. vegan chili tonight…who’s down?! :)

peace and love

hi everyone!!! hope y’all had a great weekend! we had a dinner and movie night with the youth, got to hang out with one of my oldest friends, cooked lots and lots of homemade vegan meals, had a fabulous time at church and gospel lunch, listened to one of the best times i’ve heard my hubs play his songs there, celebrated father in law’s 60th bday, and lots of laughs! whew. i thought i’d start the week off with a super easy BUT super fun project.
orange plaid
pink plaid
i had these two lovies that i got for only $2 bucks. both with POCKETS. heart pockets. these were xl men’s so clearly couldn’t fit, and i didn’t feel like tailoring  sooo cut out 2 matching pieces (i chose 15 x 12 inches. random but fun) on both shirts….and literally just sewed the whole thing with 1/4 in seam allowance. then threw in some stuffing. and….
pink pillow
orange pillow
these were soo easy. no hand sewing involved since you have the lovely buttons down the middle. just sew inside out…and then turn it right side out, stuff it, and then button! :) probably took me 30 minutes total to do both of them from start to finish.
orange pillow
i am pondering what i want to stitch/embroider on the front. i’m thinking a fun saying that i can put on both…not sure what though! need some creative suggestions please!!! :)
bed pillows
for now they will live here.

peace and love
