Butterfly Zippered Wristlet







This has been on my "To Do" list for months and I finally got around to doing it!! I've made two of these for gifts for my nieces for Christmas. I think they turned out really cute and I can't wait to go get some more zippers so I can make up a few more!

Fabric Baskets

Sweet, little fabric baskets!




Here are a couple of fabric baskets I've done this week. Pretty quick to do, but sewing the squares is a bit much for me...I'm not a quilter! I just don't have the patience to sew up the patchwork part, so I'm thinking about doing the next ones a bit different and avoid all those little squares. I'm planning on filling them with Christmas goodies and giving them as gifts!

Hooray! I can cross a couple things off my list!

Well, I wanted to make some things this week from my "To Do List" below and I've actually accomplished it! Hooray for me!
Another cloth book for Miss Lindsey for Christmas. She loves books and this one is really sweet with all it's nursery rhymes.




Next is a purse! This is only the second purse I've made and I think it turned out well. I've got a few more purse patterns I'd like to try soon! This one is made in my two most favorite colors...green and brown. Perfect size for me to toss in my wallet, keys, phone and a couple of Lindsey's necessities.


Take care!

Butterfly Zippered Pouch

This little zippered pouch has been on my "to do" list for awhile. I really enjoyed making this and can't wait to find the time to make some more. My boys have all requested one "in boy fabric" to hold all their little things. I hope to make some and fill with little surprises for Christmas gifts this year.

Flaming Dragon!

I need to sew for my boys more often! I made this shirt for my oldest who needs a few more long-sleeved shirts and he absolutely loves it. He picked out the fabric colors and embroidery design, so that makes it even better in the eyes of an 11-year-old. Shirt fits perfectly and he'll be getting a few more of these soon...I've already got one more cut out and he's picked the embroidery design for it...a King Cobra!!

ZZZZZ...PJ's for the boys.

The twins requested "fluffy and comfy" PJ bottoms. They picked the fleece. They fit a bit looser than I like, but they love them. Actually, they love them so much that they've been wearing them all day long and will sleep in them, too. I'm going to have to take them on an outing tomorrow or they'll probably wear them all day again. :)


Flannel PJ bottoms for my oldest. I love this print and the flannel is sooooo soft!



Not the most exciting sewing, but very needed since temperatures have been dropping lower and lower every night...brrrr...
