Travel

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2012 Travel We stayed almost a week in Destin and now we're in Ocala. In a couple of days we plan to go Tampa where it is supposed to be 80 degrees! No time for sewing now, but when I get home I will pick up my new sewing machine. We bought a new Bernina 580E before we left on the trip. I will be able to embroider without being constantly "attached" to my computer. Also, I bought some knitting materials and I plan to try to learn to knit. I want to do something "portable". Jean has agreed to try to teach me. We are going shopping tomorrow with Donna's daughter. Posted by conniepunkie at 6:33 PM 0 comments BlogThis! Share to Twitter Share to Facebook

Make up pouch

This is the cutest & easiest make up pouch at http://www.noodle-head.com/2010/10/scrappy-make-up-pouch-tutorial_20.html It is called a scrappy make up pouch. I love having pouches in my purse to hold items. Example: one might have lipstick & hand lotion, another might have a pen & my emery board. If they are different colors, you can easily access the item you want without rifling thru your entire purse contents. I am away from home, but I can't wait to get home so that I can make one! I might even purchase pieces of clothing at the thrift store, to use as fabric! The other day I bought a little girl's dress for one dollar ( it was a day when that color tag was half price!). it had a zipper, some decorative trim, and several buttons, in addition to the fabric. These items can be added to my stash & used for other projects!

Pennsylvania fun

Enjoyed more of Lancaster, Pennsylvania area today. Sure do have some lovely quilts! Rainy, messy day; but we had a good time anyway. Hope to be back to sewing when I get home.

Trouble!

Been havin trouble posting a blog, so this is a test.
