ANOTHER PICTURE OF ERICA’S GIRLS.

I WAS WALKING AROUND JO-ANN’S A FEW DAYS AGO AND RAN ACROSS A TIP OF THE WEEK. IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE CONSIDERED A TIP BUT I THINK IT MIGHT HELP.

I CAME ACROSS THESE HANDY LITTLE “HOW TO” PRINTED TUTORIALS.

I LOOK AT THEM ALL THE TIME BUT NEVER REALLY FOUND ANYTHING THAT I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO.

I PICKED THESE 3 UP
- GOLF SHOW BAG
- YO-YO WINE BOTTLE HOLDER
- KNITTING NEEDLE CASE

ALONG WITH THE PICTURE THEY INCLUDE A LIST OF SUPPLIES AND TOOLS, DIRECTIONS, SKILL LEVEL AND APPROXIMATE TIME TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT.

SKILL LEVELS FOR THE SEWING ONE’S ARE AS FOLLOWS
1= NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED
2= SOME SEWING EXPERIENCE NEEDED
3= SEWING EXPERIENCE NEEDED

THEY HAVE THEM FOR ALL CRAFTS AND CAN BE FOUND ALL OVER THE STORE. SOME OF THE BIGGER JO-ANN’S HAVE A BUNCH AT THE FRONT OF THE STORES RIGHT BEFORE CHECK OUT.

SO WHAT EVER YOUR CRAFT MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THESE OUT.

ANOTHER ONE I FOUND VERY HANDY.

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT
THANKS FOR VISITING.

I MADE A FEW MORE DRESSES FOR ERICA’S BLYTHE DOLLS.
SHE IS PROBABLY GONNA GET SICK OF THESE LOL
WELL FIRST LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT BLYTHE DOLLS ARE I HAD A COUPLE PEOPLE ASK ME WHAT A BLYTHE WAS.
HERE ARE ERICA’S GIRL’S.
DALLAS, BIRDIE AND MARIE.
LEFT AND MIDDLE DRESSES ARE ONE’S THAT I HAD SENT HER BEFORE.

HERE ARE THE NEW ONE’S I MADE YESTERDAY AND TODAY.
I POSTED THIS ONE ON FRIDAY
BUT I ADDED THE RICKRACK TO THE BOTTOM.

ANOTHER GREEN ONE.

I LOVE THE WAY YELLOW + PINK LOOK TOGETHER

IN HONOR OF STAR (ERICA’S CAT)

ALONG WITH THE BEES ONE THIS IS MY FAV.

SO WHEN I WAS DONE WITH THE DRESSE TODAY I MADE THIS SLEEVE FOR MY SCRAPBOOK STUFF. I’M STUCK ON GREEN LATELY

MAGNETIC SNAPS FOR CLOSING.

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!
THANKS FOR VISITING.

I WANTED TO SEW TONIGHT BUT WASN’T SURE WHAT I WANTED TO MAKE.
SO I DECIDED TO MAKE ERICA’S BLYTHE SOME DRESSES.
THE ONE’S I MADE HER BEFORE WE PRETTY SIMPLE AND SINCE I CAME ACROSS THESE CUTE BUTTONS I HAD IN MY SEWING BOX, I DECIDED TO ADD THEM TO THE DRESSES ALONG WITH SOME RICKRACK.

MY FAVORITE!

I HAVE 3 OR 4 MORE THAT I NEED TO FINISH SEWING UP.
PICTURES OF THOSE WHEN I AM DONE.

THANKS FOR VISITING!

I FINALLY MADE A SEWING MACHINE COVER FOR THE LAWN MOWER.

BUT BEFORE I GET INTO THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS AGAIN. I WANT TO THANK A BUNCH OF FRIENDS FOR THE NICE THINGS THEY DID FOR ME LAST WEEK DURING RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS WEEK.

- FIRST I WANT TO THANK MISS BECKY OVER @ KARMA COOLER FOR THE SEWING MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!

- THANK YOU ALSO TO DRILS
FOR THIS FUN ART

SOME OF HIS OTHER STUFF.

THANK YOU ALL SO VEYR MUCH!!!

I WAS IN NEED OF A SEWING MACHINE COVER BECAUSE THE ONE THAT CAME WITH MY MACHINE IS PLASTIC AND WAS STARTING TO LOOK BAD.
I STARTED ONE A FEW WEEKS AGO BUT BECAUSE I WANTED AN OPENING AT THE TOP FOR THE HANDLE, I WAS HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME WITH IT. FINALLY WITH THE HELP OF ONE OF THE SEWING LADIES I FINISHED IT IN CLASS ON WEDNESDAY.
BEFORE (YOU CAN SEE HOW UGLY IT WAS STARTING TO GET)

AFTER (USINGMARY ENGELBREIT PRE QUILTED FABRIC)

I HAD ENOUGH FABRIC LEFT OVER FOR A TOTE

I STILL MIGHT HAVE ENOUGH FOR A CLUTCH OR TWO!

OKAY THIS POST IS LONG ENOUGH ALREADY SO I BETTER GO.

THANKS FOR VISITING!

MEET MIRIAM, ONE OF THE GIRL’S I WORK WITH!!!
SHE ASKED ME TO MAKE HER A PILLOW CASE FOR THIS HUGE PILLOW.
IT ISN’T A STANDARD SIZE SO SHE COULDN’T FIND A PILLOW CASE FOR IT. I AM ACTUALLY VERY HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT TURNED OUT AND I THINK SHE WAS TOO.

A HUGE HELLO TO ALL THE GIRL’S I WORK WITH (JUST IN CASE THEY SWING BY AND VISIT!)

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!

HI.
SO VERY SORRY THAT I DIDN’T GET A CHNCE TO PUT A TIP OF THE WEEK TOGETHER TODAY. I USUALLY HAVE TIME AFTER WORK TO PUT ONE TOGETHER BUT TODAY I HAD A PILLOW CASE TO WORK ON THAT TOOK A LITTLE LONGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO TAKE. THEN I MADE A FLANNEL BLANKET FOR TYSON’S EAST COAST BUDDY INDY.

I FORGOT HOW FUN IT IS MAKING PILLOW CASES AND BLANKETS. I NEED TO MAKE THEM MORE OFTEN.

I REALLY NEED TO SIT DOWN AND FIGURE OUT A FEW TIPS AT A TIME SO WHEN I GET HOME FROM WORK I CAN JUST COPY AND PASTED THEN INTO A POST.

TALKING ABOUT WORK. I DON’T KNOW THAT THEY WILL SEE IT BUT I WILL POST IT ANYWAY. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF GIRLS THAT ARE ALWAYS SO VERY SUPPORTIVE OF EVERYTHING I HAVE GOING ON AND EVERYTHING THAT I MAKE. ALONG WITH THE SISTER AND A COUPLE OF ONLINE FRIENDS. ROFL @ ME ACTING LIKE I JUST GOT AN AWARD AND I HAVE TO THANK EVERYBODY HA HA BUT I DO WANT TO THANK MARILU, TRACEY AND CHIA. YOUR CONSTANT SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

SMOOOOCHES TO MARILLA’S MOM FROM TYSON AND MYSELF!
