Sew Fun!

So last night we finally got the sewing machine set up and made the first burp cloth! It came out so cute, I love the fabric I found:) I took pictures, but I can't find the cable for my camera of the memory stick adapter. Stupid Sony and their new mini-mem sticks. I think that cat ate the adapter that makes it fin into the memory slot. Anyways, I should have pics up soon.

I was thinking of starting a girls craft group at my casa on Friday nights or Saturday afternoons. People could come and finish projects they are working on, share ideas, or learn to knit, crochet, sew, scrapbook whatever. And just hang out and be girly with some yummy snacks. Bring your mom's, whatever. Anyways email or myspace me if you think you'd be interested!

I also just ordered this book which should be arriving soon

All the stuffed animals in are are made from, you guessed it: socks and gloves!




Seriously, how cute is that? I can't wait to make some pink elephants! If you are interested, you can go to the Martha Stewart Page to download a free template for these cute guys:
What a fun project to do with your kids! Or, with me!!! Come be crafty and play at my house:)

On a side note, I have been putting a lot of click-able links in my blogs lately but its hard to tell with the layout I have. So, if you want to try the bunny or dog, click on "Martha Stewart Page."

My Bernina's getting jealous,because instead of cleaning and oiling it like I started,I'm here drooling over your new Brother....

Ooh, who has a Bernina??? Hopefully me one day if I keep up with the sewing:) I'm actually taking back this Brother and going for the model up because this one got horrible reviews and the next one up is great. and its dark blue which I like:)

It's Becky,and I'm not a big fan of mine-I can't sew anything thick,like denim or canvas(which is like 95% of what I work with-yuck!).Dark blue sounds awesome
