Sister Tattoo!!

So as me and my sister were growing up I always had an obsession with polar bears and she with giraffes! So for each holiday we would get each other our fav animals! So I thought it be appropriate to honor our "sisterhood" with a tattoo! :)

My sister Audry and Me (adria)!

My sewing Mojo...

So ya...kinda funny actually that after I get a huge tattoo of a vintage sewing machine I loose my sewing mojo. I actually felt guilty looking at it day after day and put it away in my closet! so sad. But finally yesterday had a moment where I felt motivated and ready to go. I started working on a T-shirt quilt for a friend that had ordered it over the summer and I never got around to it. But since I am planning a trip (hopefully) next month I could use the extra cash! Once I started going on that I realized that I have a huge 2 day craft show coming up and I better get motivated! So I finished up 2 purses that have been sitting around and then got to work on about 25 reversable headbands and 20 doggie bananas! I still have 3 more purses to sew and I really need to finish up that quilt (after I buy more interfacing). So it looks like this is weekend will be a crafty one indeed! I feel so much better when I am creating new projects! Anyone else ever lost there mojo for a while?

Here are the two purses I finished up!

What $10 will get you!

So as you know I am completely addicted to craigslist especially the arts & crafts section. I've got a sewing machine off there for 15 bucks and now fabric! and look at all I got for 10 bucks! I couldn't believe it!

Yup I Did It!!

I've really been wanting a tattoo for years...never knowing what to quite get. One day it came to me that I should get a sewing machine...so I found an amazing tattoo artist and starting discussing my tattoo. I knew it would be my first piece and I thought that if I got a tattoo I wanted to go all out and get a large piece. Yes it is addicting and I do plan to do a half sleeve of all sewing related things! It took 5 hours and man was it painful! haha!

Lake Panorama

So my family rented a glorious cabin off lake panorama which is only 45 minutes from the great ole city of Des Moines, Iowa which was nice because not only did I get to go on vacation but not have to drive far at all. My sister and her husband also came up for one night to get away but left early because my sister has just started her second year of vet school and is rather stressed out. Here is a glimpse of the cabin. The cabins on this lake were very over the top. Most of them as just summer homes for most people, which makes me wonder what their everyday homes looked like! wow.

Not really what you call "rustic" but it was so nice to have a real bed to sleep in and air conditioning when you got hot out on the lake. There were some killer stairs to get down to the docks and boat when you wanted to do a little swimming but the workout came welcomed after all the food I ate! We referred the stairs as the "gauntlet"! haha.

Other wise we just swam, boated, and enjoyed the woodsy outdoor life for the trip! Mcgruff really enjoyed his time outdoors!! He also got to swim in a lake for the first time ever. He was not too happy with me after that haha.

New Sewing Machine

as I was cruising craigslist I came across this and I knew that I had to have it! I got it for 15 bucks! what a deal and its so amazing! Its super heavy! but it comes with different feet, a petal, bobbins, and scissors!

Huge Sale!!

So great news....drum roll please.....

I get my doggie Mcgruff back!!! So I moved to the city 6 months ago and I had to leave my doggie behind with my dad because my townhouse I am renting didn't allow doggies BUT now they are letting us have pets! So I get to go pick him up this weekend! :):)




So I am going to offer 10% off anything in my etsy store! Just send me a message on etsy using the code 515 and if you blog about my sale let me know and I'll give you 15% off anything!

Custom Robot Quilt
