I've been working hard sewing the Tooth Fairy Pillows and the I Spy Quilts and I Spy Bags. I took Dad to have eye surgery Thurs. and took a bag full of TFP to turn and stuff while I was there. I completed 11 of them before they told us Dad couldn't have the surgery that we had to wait 2 or 3 weeks as they had to talk to one of his other Drs. and change one of his meds. Better safe than sorry:) Anyway I hope to have a few new pictures up of another project I've set my mind on doing so come back and see what it is!!!
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've been very busy making Toothfairy Pillows for the last week. I guess I've made over 25 now:) Cutting out about 25 more and going to sew them up but not turn them so I can take them with me to work on when Dad has his eye surgery on the 16th. I think turning, clipping, stuffing and sewing should keep me busy for several hours as we should be there from 8:00am to 6:00pm. Please keep him in your prayers.

Made an Ironing Board and stool for my craft/sewing room. I needed an Ironing Board next to my sewing machine so I wouldn't have to jump up every time I needed to press something. I LOVE IT!!!

The first quilt is a small 4x4 ft.quilt. A friend wanted it for a little girl as a Christmas gift just to throw over her while she was watching TV.
This is an I Spy Quilt I made for a little boy at Christmas:)Tuesday, January 24, 2012

I made quilts for my daughters, nieces and nephew and this year I made a fishing quilt for my daughter's boyfriend Andy since he's been in the family for 20 months. Long enough for hard work:) His hobby or passion is fishing so that was a easy quilt to gather different fishing squares together. I kept one main fishing sq. to connect the rest of the squares as you can see he was thrilled!! Now what am I going to make next??? I know I had enough left to make a toddler bed size quilt to sell!!

I made a Doggie quilt for my Daughter's boyfriend Andy for Christmas:) Yes that's him in the picture with his dog Maverick. I think I'm going to advertise this type of quilt for pet lovers and for people who have lost their pets as a memorial quilt and see if I can sell some.

I've been making Tooth Fairy Pillows and I Spy Quilts that I'm selling if you are interested just let me know:)
I'm also tired of my little calendar getting so messed up in my pocket book that I made a cover for it which is above the tooth pillows. That is the first one I made and I have plans on making more as I know others are tired of the calendars opening up and getting all messed up. I also wanted a place to put a pen and other items so I made little pockets inside. When I perfect it, I'll put up a picture!

I've had a great time playing in my new rearranged room!! I have labeled and wrapped and tucked things away where I can find anything and everything:) I even made an Ironing board and stool along with pincushions. I've been making several other items I'll list later. Now my small 8x12 room has more room:)
