Monday

SOLD
I have been a bit under the weather for the past few days but I didn't want to sit on the couch.

Shake it off by getting up and get movin'
I did some major Spring Cleaning today.  Moving things around in my son's room, flipping winter and spring clothes out.  Making bags of donations for the Child Haven of Las Vegas.

I feel best when I keep my body in motion.
So I continued to my bedroom, switching the winter bedding out for spring sheets. Then dusting, rearranging and fluffing all accents in the room.

The day flew by.

SOLD
But as the afternoon came on, it was time to sit and list more goodies on Etsy and watch a movie.
We picked FLIGHT.  Whoa pretty intense and makes the anxiety hit fast.
But I got through it and listed all my Shop Goods as I watched.

SOLD
2 birds with one stone, I am a mulit-tasker.  I can't stand to sit and watch a movie without having something else to do.

Anyhoo, so now my day is done and dinner is going to be take out tonight.
I am resting with my feet up hoping to feel much better for taking on tomorrow at full speed.

Have a great night everyone.

Vintage Dress Maker

A wonderful sunny and cool breeze day.

I have an old Cary Grant movie playing and I am listing a ton of vintage for my Vintage Marketplace Shop.

As I clean and list things....I dream of sewing.
Hopefully this week will allow some time for cutting patterns and sewing up some new clothes made from vintage patterns.

I found this vintage McCalls Pattern and immediately knew I had to make it.

I had a dress from Anthropologie years ago that matched this pattern to a t
I still don't know why I sold that Anthro dress,  but I did and so this dress is on my MUST MAKE list before Summer.

I can't wait to go pick out some lovely patterned cotton to make this.
I can alter and make in to trapeze style tops as well!!!
Perfect for the HOT summer that is coming fast.

Bicycle

A day just spent living life.

Biking slowly through the neighborhood and taking it all in.

It is hot yet gorgeous out.

Today was meant for being outdoors.  But I want to make these!
Flipping thru the new Martha Stewart Living I found this super simple pattern to download.
I can't wait to get my studio free of clutter so I can start sewing for me and my family again.

Buttons and More....

I found more time in my day, that what happens when the child comes home from school and naps ;)

Play Time

Thank you all for your inquires on the serger.
It has now sold and I am so happy it is going to a very loving home.

From that to play time.  On to some playing in our day.
We had a lovely afternoon with friends and their trampoline.
So much FUN!
Thanks Tina for having us over.  We must do it more often.

This evening is all about Fashion Night on Bravo...I die!

For the Seamstress

SOLD
Going through the studio closet I happened upon this...

It was a birthday gift from my hubby that I begged for.

It sat in the box once I received it for a year.   I was scared to use it.
I finally took it out of the box, had my pro serger friend Debbie come over to thread it and teach me how to use it.

Cut to now.
I have never used it, I don't wanna use it and I love my good old beat up normal sewing machine.

I thought I needed this fancy serger and then my boy came along.
Sewing got put on the back burner and my business turned from sewing everyday to selling vintage.

This is a wonderful machine that needs a loving home.

I am selling it for way under the price we paid and shipping will be included.

I hope someone out there will love this and make good use of it.

It is model
