St. Patty's day sewing

Well I was actually able to get some sewing in, Yippy! Thought I had better start on Miss Bry's St. Patricks day outfit so I found some cute clover fabric with lady bugs on it and some red and white polka dot fabric from my stash. I have decided to make a t-shirt dress so purchased a rtw shirt from Hobby Lobby and some cute iron on lady bugs just incase I don't find a cute lady bug embroidery applique I like.
Also added a pile of freshly washed fabric to my sewing room floor that is waiting to be ironed, Ugh.....
And received this beautiful little handmade heart from my sweet baby girl Bryanna(which is somewhat of a bribe since right before my gifting I was ask repeatedly when I was going to teach her to sew,lol). Gotta love kids they know a way to a mama's heart. :0)
I will post pics of my finished project upon completion. Got lots of patterns to cut out( Simplicity patterns are $.99 cents at Hobby Lobby right now) and fabric to iron so until next time.

Help!

Yes I have been away from the blogging too long now I dont even know how to fix my page it is so ugly and I have spent hours on it, ugh!
How do you put the pretty background with your blog title or pic with your blog title and how do you move the blog title over and so on.
Experts PLEASE HELP! :0)

I have missed blogging and sewing but have made up my mind that I am going to get back on track, actually I am not taking care of my grand baby anymore and can now go back to focusing on what I want to do and how I want to spend my time without him dictating every thing I do and when I do it, lol.... He does rock my world tho.
I love you Bryce Derrick.

How long has it been?

Well I dont know if any of you have missed me but I can say that I have truely missed all of you and the world of blogging. Have done some catching up on some of my favs and you guys are so awesome.
Well one of my reasons for being MIA is as some of you know I became a grandma in March and most of my focus has been on my sweet grandson and helping my daughter become a mom. I have done no sewing whatsoever, Can you believe that! So my New Years Resolution is to get back into the swing of things that I love and get to work on that shop I have been intending and desiring to open for how long now??????
I plan on staying on top of blogging and reading blogs because it makes me happy and happy is what I need at this point in my life. Will post pictures of the little man as soon as my slow internet issues are resolved. Until then I hope to her from my blog buddies and get caught up on everything I have missed out on.
Smooches

Bry's sewing class


My six year old is taking a sewing class down town at our local quilt shop. Their 1st project is a quilt for their baby doll. Bryanna was so excited about the class that I was reminded for 2 days what time it started about every 10 minutes,lol. She picked out her own charm pack and backing material and it is so cute, the charm pack is random puppy fabric with pieces of floral and polka dots and the backing is pink with doggie bones.

They haven't started sewing yet, the 1st day was just alot of cutting which Bry finished way before the other girls and was ready to sew but unfortunetly that wont start till the next class. But to my surprise she wasn't too disappointed and just sat quietly and gathered all her little squares up and stacked them neatly. She is the youngest in her class but she does well with all ages so it wasn't a big deal and there were only two other girls there and they were ages 7 and 8 so it wasn't like she was surrounded by teens lol. They had popcorn and koolaid during their break and the girls giggled and talked about all kinds of silly things. I think the highlight of the class was when they gathered in the bathroom to wash up so we could continue, lol, there was tons of giggling and silliness goin on and that took longer then it did for Bry to cut her quilt squares.
It was very fun and she is looking forward to her next class which wont be till July 2nd cause the teacher is going on vacation. Ugh.....
Hope everyone has a HAPPY FATHERS DAY spending quality time with all those daddy's that work so hard and love so much every day of the year. Ours is going to be spent lounging with a steak dinner on the grill this eve.
Hugs,
Kat
