You can also use oil cloth fabric in black as it works well. I like having a "chalk marker" to write with but you do need a damp cloth to wipe off (or use a baby wipe). The markers would not be good for little kids but…

I've made several of these and sell them at kids swap meets. they're very popular. Don't forget to condition the chalk fabric as per the instructions before using them. If you make the reverse side with laminated cotton it can be…

These are a bunch of portable chalkboards I made up. They have a writable surface and a separate pouch to hold a few chalk pieces. The pouch also doubles as an eraser. These are so handy as they have ties on one end to secure them. Just roll them up…

I want my day back !!!!!!!!

Posted on June 3, 2010 at 12:14am 0 Comments

HI all,


SO you wont believe what kind of a day I had. I can assure you it wasn't productive in any way. I went about my usual daily routine for the beginning. I got my oldest off to school, made a pot of coffee and then things got weird. You see, this is where I usually would do some things of mine that I cannot do while the other kids are up, HOWEVER my 3 year old got up when I did ( which never happens) and then my 9 month old got up and my 5 year old ( again this never…

Posted on June 2, 2010 at 1:49am 2 Comments

HI everyone,


So today I am thinking about my upcoming trip to Connecticut and New York City. I leave the second week of June. I am so so so excited. My husband will be in meetings all day and I will be keeping a co-workers wife company. SO of course you all know what I am thinking - drive into NYC and shop the fashion district. Now I have to be careful because I just decluttered my sewing room - but how much could I really bring back right? I mean - right??? After all, I am…

AAAAAGGHHHHH.... I'm a SEWING HOARDER !!!!!!!!!!

Hello fellow sewers,


About a week ago I was inspired by a new book I bought while in L.A. about pattern drafting. I thought "this book really simplifies the techniques. Lets give it a whirl". So I went down into my sewing 'Dungeon' all excited and motivated to get started...... until I looked around. The room was a disaster. There was not one inch of space that was free of clutter. There were notions, fabric, patterns, books, paper, etc. everywhere. There was barely a clear…

well.....its like a purpley black but its patchy because my hubby did it :( And the chunky highlights which were supposed to electric blue came out green :( I need to make some cool teenager friends so that they can do my hair.....LOL! For now I will just put another bottle of the black and purple in to cover everything else.

Thnkyou for all your sweet comments! I was looking at your pics, and saw the baby shoes! How adorable! Wish I had some grandchildren to put them on. Your daughter is quite the little fashion model isn't she? She is lucky to have such a talented mommy to sew beautiful clothing for her!

Thanks so much Gail. My DD loves it when I make her new clothes. She is a true model....lol ! Thank-you for the compliments. I loved all of your projects. You are very talented. Its nice to have a place where you can share your love of sewing and make friends. Do you live here in Canada?

Darling girls fashions, and your model is most precious. Love the little shoes, those would be wonderful to wear around the house. Thank you for stopping by my page and all the wonderful comments you left on my pictures. Hope your having a great week.

No need to pay me. I have a bunch of them here that I made. I would be happy to ship it to you for free simply to be able to share the project. They really are so cool . If you want to wait, that is fine too. The offer is still there though.

Cheers,
Melinda
