Text of the page (random words):
i will be working on learning how to take better pics hopefully at some point this year i will get a better camera and a better sewing machine hear that hubby i have also opened an account over at artfire i want to give it a shot over there with their free account option there are no selling fees and you can sell up to 10 items at a time it s worth a shot there is also a to check out artfire

the wii together it s so cute they are playing lego batman sophia is plating with all of her toys she is the master of disaster it amazes me how quickly she can turn the house upside down but she s so darn cute i hope you all have a wonderful day we sure will 0 posted by katherine at thursday january 01 2009 13 comments wednesday december 31 2008 i m an artisan what are you i am bored and was passing some time looking around the web when i came across this little 3 question quiz this was my result your personality is artisan you are both grounded and flexible you adapt well to new situations you are playful and free spirited but you are also dependable and never flaky you don t do well in conservative stuffy situations it s probably very hard for you to keep a normal job or stay in school you are always up for fun and adventure most people are too boring for you you take risks and bend the rules and if things don t work out you chock it up to life experience in love you tend to take things quickly but you have a huge problem with commitment at work you need to make your own rules you re best suited to be an entrepreneur with others you are animated and physical you prefer doing something with friends to just hanging out as far as your looks go you tend to be buff and in good shape your spend more time on your body than your clothes on weekends you need to keep active from cooking up a storm to running a 5k you wear yourself out it s pretty true except for never being flaky and the buff body part more like flubby my nice figure went out the door with pregnancy 1 i gained way too much weight i have a thyroid condition that makes it hard for me to get the weight off thanks kids now i have a womanly figure as i like to call it to take the quiz go here have a fun safe new years eve mine will be spent at home with the family 0 posted by katherine at wednesday december 31 2008 3 comments sunday december 28 2008 gift for my mom here is the bag i made my mom i was in the process of making a zippered pouch to go with it when my sewing machine decided not to work this was christmas morning before we left for her house she was very happy with her bag though i really liked how it came out too it was huge it would make an excellent overnight bag or market tote on the flip side i used a cotton blossom s charm pack by moda the lining and handles were made using unbleached muslin i really like this muslin it is a new found favorite fabric of mine the fact that it is in expensive and neutral is great i use it to line my tissue cozies too 0 it looks great with this line of fabric with all the browns blues greens reds and orange i ll be making another one of these bags real soon by the way the pattern is from joann s fabric store it s like 3 00 for the pattern there is this one for charm squares and another for jelly roll strips that s next on my list for my grandma posted by katherine at sunday december 28 2008 7 comments sunday stash

sorry i have chosen to share urban chicks fabric the line is 1974 i love this fabric i am actually in the process of making my first quilt using this particular jelly roll and charm pack since christmas is over i can now focus on my quilt i can t wait here are some links to see the rest of the fabrics included in this charm pack and jelly roll i am going to go finish being lazy today i am exhausted due to the holidays whew thank goodness christmas is over all i have to do to get ready for new year s is pick which mixed drink i d like to have 0 which i have already done smirnoff and cran apple juice mmmm the kids will be off to bed early and my hubby and i will have a mild celebration i may or may not post again before then if not have a safe and happy new years posted by katherine at sunday december 28 2008 4 comments wednesday december 24 2008 happy holidays i just wanted to wish everyone a merry christmas happy hanukkah enjoy the company of your friends family and good food i ll be back after christmas 0 posted by katherine at wednesday december 24 2008 2 comments sunday december 21 2008 one more down many many more to go as promised i am posting my sisters finished christmas gifts hopefully she will not read this generally she doesn t unless i want her to see something so i made her this bag as well as a smaller version of this to be used as a makeup bag then i had to make a matching tissue cozy of course here they are drum roll please both sides of the bag it is reversible but only one side has a pocket the makeup case and tissue cover a close up of the covered button and loop closure i love the covered button i also used a hair band for the loop closure instead of the ribbon the instructions called for i really like to used these as closures for things such as crayon rolls they are much less of a headache what i mean is a kids can open and close themselves b kids are not constantly asking you to tie their crayon roll they keep undoing over and over again just makes life that much more easy peasy hopefully you all won t get too tired of me sharing my goodies i just get so excited luckily our families live and hour and a half away or i would be gift giving early 0 now i have one gift completely done off to finish some more i will be posting again tomorrow hopefully with several more finished goods goodnight posted by katherine at

another small handbag with hb fabrics ohh and look what i got for my b day aren t they beautimus hopefully i won t kill them now back to the purses and patterns i love the birdie sling by amy butler i have read before that it is a large bag i have to say i was still suprised to see how huge it really is it also has 2 pockets on the inside i love pockets i am happy with how my work came out just as i am happy with how my sandi henderson market bag turned out again anothe good sized bag w pockets 0 it was my first time using both patterns i am always apprehensive the first time doing anything but the instructions on both patters were great the birdie sling is just a lot of cutting lots of pieces but once you piece it and start sewing it s a breeze it also called for more fabric then needed so i have some left over for some smaller projects i am going to have to do a post at some point dedicated to pattern reviews hmmm definetly anyhoo i have some sewing to get started and finished as well as some baking to get done i am baking some goodies for my neighbors and family members for x mas i live in a cul d sac so all 5 neighbors will ne getting peppermint marshmallows brownied and a for recipe cards for homemade hot chocolate and such wish me luck wink i m going to need it due to there being so many hours in a day and 4 days to do it all in i ll leave you with a project sone by my hubby he is from the philippines in the philippines the have something called a parol it is a star shapped lantern that is put up around x mas time well he found some bamboo and made this star then he found some holiday cellophane type paper and it cam out like this not bad huh he is quite crafty i ve caught him messing with my sewing machine who knew now i am off to make my handmade gifts i ll post my sunday stash later this evening posted by katherine at saturday december 20 2008 3 comments thursday december 18 2008 market bag success woo hoo i had a custom order for sandi henderson s market bag i am always a little apprehensive when trying out a new pattern but i have to say that this pattern was awesome it was so easy to follow with colorful pictures and great descriptions it was a breeze i think it helped that i followed the directions to a tee sometimes i am very bad about that maybe some of the success was from doing what i should always do when using directions you know following them 0 here it is it s so purdy i made the boxier of the two patterns let me tell you i am going to have a hard time handing it over and it is reversible but the second picture came out funky i love it i also made 2 handbags for a mother and daughter one side is the same and the lining is different for each bag i pulled the teal out of one for the lining and the one pictures has the lime green they are both reversible i think reversible bags are great makes them a bit more versitile don t you think i still need to add buttons and they will be fini here is a picture of one of them tonight i need to finish amy butler s birdie sling i have everything cut and ready to go as soon as it is finished this order will be complete four custom bags in all whew this is my third custom order yay just a side note all bags were made using heather bailey fabric except for the lining on the two handbags 0 i ll post pics when the birdie sling is complete which will be soon posted by
