Smile :)

 So, I've obviously been missing from the blogging world but there were a few blogs that I did keep up with. My favorites. Well, since I've been back I've kept up with them even better but a few slipped through the cracks. This one and this one. Yep. My Girl Thursday and Love Elycia. Their posts were announcing a craft night and the materials we would need for last night. I saw the reminder posts for craft night late yesterday evening and panicked. I wanted to do this project but I didn't have half of the materials! Well, since I'm a clever girl I decided to just go with what I had. I used grey jersey, blue corduroy, a little velvet and some pink felt. I ran it all through the sewing machine but the next one I make there are parts I think I'd rather hand-sew. With Valentine's Day approaching (a little more than 2 weeks!) I decided to put a heart on the lens. The first one I made was for Chris. He loves cameras. He's a photographer and actually just had a camera tattoo done yesterday. I'm very proud of the work he has done and I'm so thankful that Chantilly and Elycia posted this awesome sewing project!

Anyhoo, here are the links to take a look at if you want to make one too. I wasn't able to make it for the video stream, so I missed how it was supposed to go together exactly but I went with my gut and it worked out (big sentence over).
Pattern: Love Elycia/ My Girl Thursday
Craft night video (the how to). It's about 2 1/2 hours long!

Sneaky peaky!

Here's a sneak peak into what went down in the lab tonight:



So we've got some bows, a rose, a little piece of candy and yes those are donuts. Easier to tell they're donuts when you've got 'em in your hot little hands. Speaking of...

No ring bases yet. Silly me ordered them from China.... uh oh! Of course I only ordered them today but I think I might be hunting some more down that I can get my hands on faster. So if you really want one (and I can do any color) let me know and I will FIND a way to get your order out. These aren't going in the shop yet so please comment or leave me a post on facebook.

Working on hearts and strawberries next! Oh, and I have Macaw feathers on the way, so look out!
