July 22, 2007

What a week it's been.... I woke up last friday...a week ago.. with a headache.... I tried everything under the sun and it just hung on... It finally eased up this past thursday! Geeze....

So needless to say, by the time I got home from work, I had no energy to do any sewing. BUT....

I'm on a roll now! Lol.... While I was sitting in my chair doing nothing.... my brain was making plans... ( scary).... I knew I had two birthdays coming up this week... one tomorrow and one on Wednesday... what to do!!! Well my brain decided that I should take the Lazy Girl Wallet Pattern.....and find that fun Moda fabric I have called Latte or something like that and make WonderCuppa's! It's a LazyGirl Wonder Wallet... made from coffee bean and latte cup fabric and filled with a coffee bag, tea bag, napkin, stir stick, sugar, creamer and sugar substitute.... it's like a mini coffee emergency kit! I made three of them and they are just so darn cute! lol. Pictures are on flicker.... the link is to the left somewhere..... Snapfish is... well...that's another story but my photos won't be there...... lol

I found a bazillion buttons... but not one of them was a coffee pot or coffee cup but I found some really cute girl faces so I used those.

I also finished up the binding on the Charm Table Runner. It's made from a Thimbleberries Pack of 24 5" charm squares.... it's quite cute and went together rather quickly.

Today I made a checkbook cover. It's done in the hoop on the embroidery machine... we'll be making these in embroidery club on tuesday and I needed a sample and to refresh my memory on how they are made...... they are really quick to do... under an hour...and make fun christmas presents for that box.... remember the box?? uh huh........sure..........

One of my WonderCuppas and all 6 portables are in the box........so I'm doing just fine so far.

I also managed to get some mending done for a lady at work. I'm about halfway thru quilting a wall hanging/table topper for a girl at work.... it's patriotic and really cool.... it's a present for her mom's birthday next month...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's a secret lol

I have the header ready to attach to the shower curtain so maybe this week I can get to that.... we'll see. I have to make two Cotton Theory Placemats for samples for a class I'm going to be teaching... I have the parts all cut and stacked.... now for the quilting.... that's supposed to be done and up to the shop on tuesday... but I don't think that's gonna happen lol maybe by the weekend.........

Have a great week.........
