Tea Wallet
Posted in Making Things, Sewing keeps me sane., Show and Tell, Tea on Tuesday, tagged Tea on Tuesday, tea wallet on October 20, 2009 | 16 Comments »
One more thing before I really get to the business of the day. Last night I made a tea wallet for someone special. I’ve seen a few “out there”, but for this one I used my own ingenuity and winged it. I’m pleased with the outcome. I hope the special someone will be, too. I [...]
I Feel Like Making…

something today, but time does not allow for it, so I’m sharing something I recently made. Last month I hosted a “Because I Have Two” giveaway. The very humble gift was recipe index book. I planned an unannounced surprise to accompany the book…unannounced mostly because I had not decided what the “surprise” would be…and a [...]
Dog Bone Neck Pillow Tutorial

Recently I brought my dad’s dilapidated neck bone pillow home, took it apart, made a pattern and sewed a new one for my mom. (I thought the ragged one belonged to her.) Not until I gifted the new one to my mom did I learn the old one was my dad’s. Today I made a [...]

For days and weeks that turned into months I’ve tried to take time to sew…finally today I let everything else wait, and I made a small project from start to finish. My mom had a ragged dog bone neck pillow on her couch the last time I went to visit, and I said it was [...]

Fresh Yard Eggs
Posted in Chickens and Guineas, Making Things, Sewing keeps me sane. on March 24, 2009 | 8 Comments »
My SIL is selling fresh eggs out her beauty shop. She needed a sign to remind her customers to take their eggs home. I finally made her the promised reminder after much nagging. I should be ashamed, because the eggs are mine, and I kept putting this little project off. Scooping out enough time was [...]

Taking The Plunge
Posted in Blujay, Chasing Rabbits, For The Fun Of It, Making Things, Sewing keeps me sane., Vintage on March 14, 2009 | 6 Comments »
For quite some time I’ve considered opening an online store. Etsy and Ebay weren’t the avenue I wanted to walk down, and using that as an excuse, I’ve dragged my feet getting started. To tell the truth fear held me back. Stalling time is over. Yesterday my sister called me and told me [...]

My dear dad is 82 years old. These days he needs the assistance of a walker to get around safely. I noticed during our last visit he had no caddy to hang off the front of his walker to transport his belongs when he went from place to place. I made one for him out [...]
