Snow Day-Sew Day

It all started when Jason was gone on an ice fishing trip and I stayed at my mom and dad's. Mom and I went shopping with my aunt and cousins and I treated myself to this "Sew Darn Cute" book at Barnes and Noble. I am pretty sure everyone should own this book! I think I have looked at it 30+ times! So the idea was planted and this is the start of my:

MAGAZINE BAG

Here is the bag close to being done.
Creating the embellishments while watching my recordings of Martha Stewart.
Note my new red coffee table my boss gifted me for Christmas. Yeah I now have a matching set the tall-behind-the-couch-table and the coffee table! Yahhhooooo

Finished Product:

Hanging on my new-to-me laundry basket, I think it is so cute I just like to leave my laundry in it to look at...Yeah you guessed it, it doesn't take much to excite me! :)

Do you sew?

Oh what a BEAUTIFUL life...

Due to the Husband being gone five days on an ice fishing trip I:
-Stayed at my mom and dad's and was treated like royalty
-Got to see this sweet little girl a WHOLE bunch!
-Chased this little sweet heart around, due to her request!
-Went to the Blind Side, Highly recommended
-Went shopping with mom
-Finished up inventory for my brothers business
-Bought some vintage fabric and a new book with TONS of fun things to sew
-Had mom's popcorn, why can't I make it like she can?
-Mom also made her famous pancakes, oh how I love them!
-I sure missed Jas but at least I had a lot of entertainment to keep me busy!
