I was featured on Knock Off Decor and other business

Just a quick post to let you all know that my Smocked Drapes were featured on Knock Off Decor!  I borrowed my husband's work camera, and was able to get some better photos, and it's live right now!  Go check it out.
I am still so happy with how they turned out.  Here's a couple more photos to show off:

Thank you all for your encouragement!  Stay tuned for March's Sewing 101 post tomorrow...and then I have a big announcement coming next week.  Here's a hint:

I'm just tickled!

I added my Little Gems pillow to the Blogger's Pillow Party...and Rachel picked mine as one of her favorites!

Look at all the loveliness that was included:

With all this wonderful inspiration, I think my sewing wish list just got longer.
Thank you so much!

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope today finds you enjoying your family, thinking of your blessings, and giving wherever you can.  Thanksgiving is a compound word, and in my mind implies action.  Give thanks, give love, give service, and you will be giving Heavenly Father the gifts He loves the most. 

Lots of love to each of you. 

Back to laundry...so I can play again.

I confess whilst working on my new pattern, I let somethings slide.  My laundry is now piled up on my bed.  It's clean, I promise.  It just needs to be sorted, folded, and because I'm tardy, ironed.  Rats.  Once I get that taken care of and my bathroom scrubbed, I'll be jumping back into sewing for Christmas gifts.  I'll definitely be making some Symbols of Christmas packets.  I'm planning on making a Birthday Banner, and some fun kitchen items.  I have some nieces who need some hair accessories....ok wish me luck getting through that mess.

Also, I have to give a shout out to the wonderful gals at Sew Mama Sew.  Their Christmas gift round ups have been fabulous.  I have so many new gift ideas I'm thinking of.  They even featured my Teacher's Cover All Apron, in their Gifts for Teachers Round up!  Thank you!

Also, Sweet Shonda from Knowlton Nest gave me a blog award.   I really don't have time to forward it, but I wanted her to know how grateful I am for her kindness.
