I love to sew just about anything. I also do lots of crafts and painting shabby chic. Sewing is something I've been since I was 11 years old. I made my first quilt top out of neon cotton material back in the 60's and now my daughter is the proud owner of the quilt. I make I Spy Quilts, I Spy Bags, Tooth Fairy Pillows, girls clothing, crayon aprons, pin cushions, just about anything. Sewing just gives me peace of mind and puts me in a comfort mode.

I love Craigslist!!! I took a different way to the beach to go look at this listing and I'm glad I did all of this for $34.00. All of it is new in packages. The buttons 26 packs sells for $2.29 each at Michaels. The flowered ribbon is what I'm using on my items I'm making and I'll show you later as I was so excited to show you my deal of the day:)

I went home for a few days to help my Dad out as my Mother died last Aug. We have been busy canning green beans and beets. I will be heading back to the beach with some new items I've been making. Can't wait for you to see them:) Thanks for all you sweet comments and I'll be going to your site seeing all the wonderful things you've been doing. I love seeing your items as it pushes me to get busy!!! Take care and will post tomorrow.

I thought I'd share some of my favorites at my beach home. Each summer I try to do a redo to a room and last year was the living rooms turn. I painted the blue chest and put white as the background to make the color pop. I added the seashell fountain this year and I've really enjoyed the way it sounds so much that I bought my Dad one:)

Well this is some of what I got done today. Love my little girls outfit and headbands. Wouldn't you want to write with a flower pen? Selling for $1 as I have about 22cents in them. I love the box that I have the Tooth Fairy Pillows in:)
The top picture are items that I'm making over. The first thing was to redo my sewing chair to use at the beach. I've been sewing on a project that I've debated on for a while now. I'll hopefully finish it tonigh. Off now to volunteer:)

These are the quilts that I finished yesterday. I had fun making the one with the dogs on it. I always start several quilts at one time and then finish them at one time why I don't know.

I finished my sign today as my neighbor screwed the buttons and scissors on and had this steel stand he was going to throw away. A couple of weeks ago I showed 2 skirts that I was going to make over. So here is one as I made it unto a pillowcase dress. I love taking something and redoing it. Tomorrow I'll show you the quilts I finished today!

I just had to share my finds for the day on my way to the beach. The bottom baby set that I don't need but bought as it was new and only $2.00. The cream thing the lady said was her Christmas tree skirt and that it was Victorian and for a $1.00 I bought it. The top picture is my finds at the Fancy Fllea. For $22.00 I bought these neat wooden containers to put my craft and sewing items in at the Southport Craft Fair. I also bought the small quilt for $3.00 to put inside the wooden crate. I do have to do some work on the quilt.

This is the pieces to the quilt that I've been making for a while. I haven't been able to find the backing to match it as the colors are always off. When I bought the bathroom curtain I loved the way they added different textures to it. I found a small pack that matches the material off of Ebay that I can add other textures to now. Now that the bathroom has these colors in it and looking at some of your blogs I really want to finish this quilt and go to my Thrift Stores and find things that I could also put in the bedroom that are timeless and pink:) I can't wait to go back to your blogs and see what else motivates me!!

I redid my bathroom in Shabby Chic and I love it. Michaels, yardsales and a little paint and it's almost finished. I'll sew some tomorrow but until I get back to the beach nothing will be finished. I have taken so much of my sewing to the beach it'll have to wait.
