Sewing again....Annie Giveaway....

2011-05-15T11:19:00.000-07:00

They say it's like riding a bike...you never forget. Well, that's how I feel about sewing. I received a couple of e-mails in the past days asking if I was still making dolls...it seems like ages since I've sewn anything; I do miss it....my sewing machine and fabrics have been in storage for a while. I decided to get everything together this morning to make an annie....I had so much fun and decided to have a giveaway with her....here are the rules:

*Post a comment and live in the United States...that's all.....

Hopefully I haven't stayed away too long to get comments!! LOL....I'll draw the winner on Friday evening, June 20th. (I apologize.. meant to say May 20th)

Thanks for visiting...

It's been a while....

Happy New Year...Wishing you a blessed 2011

I have the day off today and realized I've been a bad blogger when I looked and saw pumpkins on my blog in January....it's not for lack of projects to post....Since closing my business last year I've had time to explore several new crafting areas that I never had time for. My latest is knitting and I have to admit that I love it....I have always wanted to learn but not until a co-worker offered to teach me had I actually picked up a pair of knitting needles since grade school. I've been practicing on literally handfuls of scarves and am starting to move along to other projects. As I usually approach most things with near obsession, I now have a closet full of scarves and have been searching for organizations to knit for charity. My first project is the 2011 Special Olympics Scarf Project. Details can be found here....http://www.scarvesforspecialolympics.org/.
These are the 2 scarves I'll be mailing....

Of course I haven't totally abandoned sewing and made this cute holder for my needles and supplies(pink and tea dyed naturally)...and have found a new use for all the tote bags I made, they are great for holding works in process...

Here are a few of the other things that I've either completed or am still working on....

Wishing you a joyous and productive New Year....thank you for visiting...Nancy

Autumn Treasures

2010-10-17T16:06:00.000-07:00

I havent' posted in a very long time...I'm taking a little break from making dolls and spent the past month or so making myself several tote bags. I don't usually sew for myself. This weekend's crafting project was needle felting these tiny little pumpkins and acorns. I've been admiring them on etsy and decided to make a few for myslef...they are so cute! The acorn tops are from my yard, the double one(tiny brown one in front) is my favorite....there are a couple of white pumpkins in the works but my needles broke...I think my wrist needs a little rest too...lol
The weather is turning colder here, we've had the wood stove going for a few days now....looks like Winter is on it's way...for now I'm enjoying the brisk Autumn air....thanks for visiting...

Handmade tote!

2010-08-21T13:02:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting to make myself a tote bag/purse for a long, long time and have never had the nerve or time to do it...until today! I was at Joann's browsing around and came across this awesome polka dot fabric in the remnant bin. I Love polka dots.....I immediately envisioned a cute tote; poking thru the bin some more, I came across a coordinating stripe. Both pieces cost under $6! My mind started racing...what else would I need to make a simple purse?? I found some magnetic snaps and was on my way....I searched the internet when I got home and found a great blog with a super easy pattern.
http://www.skiptomylou.org/. It's filled with loads of fun ideas and patterns with easy to follow instructions! I printed out the instructions on how to make a simple, reversible tote bag and around 2 hours later, here it is!! I changed the shape of the tote in the instructions and added the snap with the help of another internet search.

I'm already planning on making a matching zippered pouch from the same site. I have the instructions all printed and just need to purchase a zipper.

I think the next bag I make may have 2 fabrics on the outside and I'll definately look into adding interfacing to stiffen the bag.....I hope you get a minute to check out this blog, it's has some great ideas! If you visit, click the 'sewing' link on the left side to find this great pattern and others~
Happy Saturday~

The past couple of days have been much cooler; in the 70's and 80's. We finally turned the a/c off and have the windows open, it almost feels like Autumn!

I finished up some new annies this week...in between working and re-doing the playroom, it's been a very welcome break! We had a flood in the basement at the end of January and had to tear up the boys playroom. We're slowly putting it back together with painting and new carpeting. I'll be finishing the painting this weekend and hopefully the carpet will be installed by the end of the week! I'm very excited to see it finished! We're going to see Martina McBride and Trace Adkins tomorrow night, it will be a fun way to end the weekend! I'm not a huge country music fan, but my husband is...I'm looking forward to seeing Martina and love her song 'This One's for the Girls'!

I made some Easter annies in pretty pastel dresses with whimiscal themed borders. They're both 18" tall and are $43 each. Everyday, Spring annie is dressed in the sweetest print with bumble bees and dandylion puffs...the whispy balls that blow around with the wind....she's almost 17" tall and is $38.

Happy Valentine's Day...I hope you spent the day with loved ones~

Yesterday was my twin's 15th birthday! We celebrated by going out to dinner at The Texas Roadhouse, there was an hour wait so we walked to Target....the boys picked out a video game...Dinner was fun, we teased the boys that we were going to announce their birthday and have the servers sing to them...the horror on their faces was funny! They were so full we didn't even have cake until today!LOL Today they had an XBox party with their friends. It's amazing how much 8 teenage boys can eat!

I took some time today to finish up a couple of new annies. They're just over 17" and have cute Spring time dresses on. Please contact me if you'd like details on either.

Enjoy the rest of the day and thanks for visiting~Nancy

~ New Annies and Changes ~

2009-10-26T09:35:00.000-07:00

I've finished up some annies today, they'll be listed this week but if you'd like details or pricing, please contact me~

Today is my anniversary, 19 years, where does the time go? Next week will bring about some changes for me...I'll be going back to work outside the home...not to imply that I haven't been working the past 15 years at home, just different.....My boys are all in high school now and other reasons have brought me to this decision. I'll still be sewing dolls in my free time and will maintain my blog and ebay. I'm nervous about the changes and will keep you posted~

Thanks! Nancy
