Just Popping In!

Hey Sewing Friends,
Thought I will stop by and say hello. Whew the new year has already has made a big impact on my life. It seems like when it rains it pours. If it wasn't for my faith in God, I would have unable to deal with the loss and pain. But I made it.
Things in my crafting life are also changing in a good way. I am finally redecorating my sewing room. I needed a space that inspired me. My aim was to keep  the decor budget friendly soI  repurposed some things. hopefully that will be done soon. If only life will slow down just a little. But I am still excited to see what the rest of 2015 brings.
Until next time .... Keep on sewing!

Happy New Year

May this year be your best ever. Remember God first and he will give you the desires of your hearts.

Pattern Storage X WendybyDesign

Love the tips she gives here. I agree yes you can get the pattern back into the envelope. I usually press them flat with a warm iron (no steam) first.

Yikes, My Sewing Machine Broke!!!!

Hello fellow sewist,

Hoping all had a beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving. My Thanksgiving was blessed. I ate well and enjoyed time visiting family. My sewing mojo was even in full gear. I planned and prepared to make two version of  M6992. Then I discovered that I only had enough fabric to do one, so I decided to make a cocoon sweater and found a pattern by Truebias.com.  Cut that out and sewed that up first because it was going to be an easy sew. (Reviews will be coming soon).  I worked on M6992 Saturday, Sunday, and with finishing touches on Monday. And that is when disaster struck. I was about 15 inches from finishing the hem when the needle holder on my Brother XL5700 fell completely off!

Needle holder

Sob!!!!!  Luckily I have a Euro Pro Fast and Easy machine as back up. Its basic but it got the job done.

The funny thing abou tthis is while sewing the hem I was thinking how nice it would be to have a machine that could stop in needle down position and how I would like to have a computerized machine.  Do you think the sewing machine read my mind? Did I hurt its feelings? Did it intentionally drop the needle, holder and all? LOL!

Well I am taking this as an opportunity to research machines for an upgrade. Do any of you have suggestions on model or type of machine to buy? What type of machine do you have? Do you like its features and would you recommend it to others?

Please Help!!!

Meanwhile, I will I will be sewing on my Euro Pro. Hopefully it will hold up. I have fabric on the table ready to be cut and sewn.

God willing!

Keep sewing and God bless…..

Thought For the Week Ahead

October is Awarness Month

The wind is crisp, the leaves are beginning to change colors, summer is taking its final bow and fall is is taking center stage. Its already October and we know what that means trick or treating, but more inportantly, awareness. This month we focus on Breast Cancer Awareness and now Domestic Violence Awareness. Pink and Puple is poping up everwhere. In celebrating the good work these cause are doing for women and their families, I am pinning curated pink and purple items from aroind the web. Just things I see that catches my eye. You can follow me on my pinterest board by clicking the "follow me on pinterst button at right. I might pin something that may catch your eye!

New Day Sunday-three things That Blessed Me Today

1. I want to share three things that have blessed me this Communion. That I don't have to walk around carrying guilt and shame because I am cover by the blood of Jesus.
2. Being saved is a process.
3. That we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. No man is perfect.

I am looking forward to a blessed and productive week letting God lead the way. I pray that you all have a blessed week also. Much sewing and crafting.!
