Labels!

I finally order labels.  They work great with my handwovens.

The labels are made of UltraSuede and laser engraved by

Bullfrog Graphics on Etsy.

Next I am ordering some of these for Taylor's birthday for her to use in her doll shop.

They will say Taylor Made

Adding to the shop soon!

Thanks to Mama's Little Monkeys

we'll be adding these facial scrubbies to the shop.

Errrr!  I have the worst trouble with my pictures!  

The lighting is the biggest problem and it seems no matter what I do to fix it, it still is bad. *sigh*.

Here are just a few of the things we've been up to...

A little gift for a wonderful older lady at church who loves the rain and most importantly the Lord.  

A hold all case for a friend of mine.  She bought and picked out the beautiful fabric.  

She's actually quite good at sewing herself :)
The Pattern: Atkinson Designs' Classmate

I'm working on a shirt for Little Greg.  I am almost finished, just needs buttons and hemming :).

Pattern: Simplicity 4975 View A 

Hubby suggested a pen pocket and that he liked his toward the outside 

of the pocket instead of the side close to the buttons.

Tay working on a flannel doll quilt for a basket she made.  

Didn't get a picture of the basket, yet.

Well nothing for the shop in these photos, but were working on it ;).

Frustration

I am really not liking the look of my blog. I thought I'd scrap it all and go to wordpress, but I'm not happy with it. Blogger is soooo much easier to work with. What to do, what to do?.

On the bright side, I was able to list a few more items in The Shop.  I am working on 2 causal/dress shirts for G I and G II (The men in my life for those who may not know).  I will post pics soon (-er or later :).  The girls are busy with various projects and hopefully I'll get around to putting some of those things on here are well. Maybe even some tutorials.  Maybe :).

Basket Making

Taylor has really gotten into basket making.  When she graduated in June we took her to Suzanne Moore's place in Vass, NC.  She is extremely nice and helpful.

Here are a couple of the basket's Taylor has made...
(This one Eva helped with.)

This second basket is in the shop.  She will be adding more soon.

My Other Blog

In browsing independent pattern companies, some thoughts came to mind that I posted here.

Quilting Youth

Before we left on our Colorado trip,  the teenage girls at church got together to make two quilts.  We gave 10" blocks to ladies and girls at the church who either embroidered, painted or wrote on them.  Then a few of us ladies pieced the quilt together.  The teen girls did the quilting.

The one pictured first was for our Pastor's wife, Mrs. Hoyle.  Her birthday was the day before the trip.  Sorry, no pics of the finished quilt. 

 This is the second quilt.  It was for Mrs. Thornsley and we took with us to 

Colorado and presented to her that Sunday.

The girls really enjoyed doing the quilts and it was a blessing to work with them.
