Been Gone So Long

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....I can't believe it has been so long since I have been on here. The summer was so busy and crazy as usual so I didn't get any time to post. Now that summer is over for us up here and the market season is done I have more time to do some more posting. Well at least I will try. LOL! 

It was a great summer selling season and the weather up here in the north country was unbelievably nice. We normally have two months of nice weather and then August gets raining, but this summer we had only a few real rainy times. And the temps.....man they we unbelievable also. On a normal year we get about 3 days in the 70's...this summer we had 34!!! Can't believe it. There were a couple of days that were actually HOT! And we had to turn the air conditioner on in the car. Thought I was going to die. :)

Been working on lots of stuff trying to get ready for the Christmas local shows and I have been stocking my Etsy shop back up. It gets pretty depleted during the summer as I don't have time to keep it stocked. 

Lots of new fabrics have been added for Fall and Halloween sewing. Here are a couple of them...

I also started adding patterns to the shop. I have offered my own stitchery designs for some time, but I thought I would add some other types of patterns. Here is one for Fall or Halloween sewing.....

So if you get time come on over and see all the new goodies I have in the shop now. 

My shop is here....

Have a great day and talk to you soon!!

NEW FABRICS!

Went on a shopping trip again last week! I just love to buy all this fabric! It really makes me feel good...HA!HA! :)  Anyway I thought I would show you some of the fabrics I bought. Beings 4th of July is coming soon I also stocked up on Americana fabrics. You can see all my new fabrics here from my Etsy shop. :)

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this fabric!! Of course you know it has to do with SEWING!! I use to have an old treadle machine that had an old machine like these. And I do love all antiques. :)

These vintage bicycles are so neat. Takes you back to the "olden" days. :)

Country is great for decorating. I wonder if there are very many people that still decorate with a country decor....hmmmmmmmmmmm? Anyway....I really liked this country sign fabric with all the animals on it. I thought this fabric would be great for placemats. I may actually take some of that fabric and make some. :)

And like I said......4th of July is coming so I stocked up on Americana fabrics. Here are two of the one's that I picked out. Get busy with those patriotic sewing projects. :)

Thanks for visiting and happy sewing!

More Fabrics

I am so happy that I decided to add fabrics to my Etsy Shop. I just love all the new fabrics that are coming out and the wonderful designs. The best thing about it is that I get to buy all this great fabric and pass it on to all of you. I also get to increase my stash by telling myself....one for me....one for the shop. Ha!Ha! :)

I have been busy adding more fabrics to the store and I thought you might like to see some of them. 

I absolutely LOVE Susan Winget fabrics with all her gorgeous designs. Her designs have such an old fashion feel to me. I just can't get enough of her fabric. I buy it every time I see a new design. Here are a couple of the new one's I found for you.

I have mostly novelty fabrics in my shop and lots of fat quarters. I love owls and we have a resident Great Grey Owl around our house. I think these owl fabrics are so cute.

Then of course you know I live up north and we call us "northers" so I decided to carry a few designs of wildlife. 

So you can see what I have been up too. Still working on getting my product supply ready for the summer markets up here, but I always have time to get new fabrics!! :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Spring Sewing

I know there is quite a bit of winter left especially for us in the northern world, but I always like to think Spring. I have about three months left until I have Spring, but there are some of you that it is right around the corner. If you are one of those and getting ready to do some "Spring sewing" or if you are like me and do "Spring sewing" to lift your spirits, I have just added some new Spring fabrics to my Etsy shop that I wanted to show you. :)

I love Susan Winget fabric! She designs such beautiful fabric. This is one of her Easter fabrics.

These beautiful springs birds are another one of her fabrics. 

This is more summertime, but look at the design on this fabric! I love the lemonade pitchers. I thought this fabric would make great placemats for a picnic table. :)

Butterflies are always a sure sign of spring! Look at all of them here!

I really like this fabric. Look at all the cute bugs all over this one. This one if from Hi-Fashion fabrics. I think it is just so cute. :)

As you can tell I LOVE fabrics of all kinds. I enjoy shopping for them and sewing with them. Yes...I am addicted to fabrics. LOL!  So come on over to the shop and check out all the new fabrics I have for you. Thanks for letting me show you all my new "goodies". :)

Happy sewing!
