Bears! Oh my!

As mentioned in my previous post, our church is having a craft sale / bazaar next month.  One of the requirements of each vendor is that they donate an item valued at $10 or more for the silent auction.  These proceeds will go directly to our church for events such as our Fall/Halloween festival (games, crafts, candy, and hotdogs - no charge to participants) and other similar family events throughout the year.

I just finished my items.

Basket, bib, burp cloth ... with bears!  Oh my!  

Sewing room is still a wreck and I have to look and dig for every single item I need (I even had to buy new rulers, I have absolutely. no. idea. where my rulers went during the move) but I am sewing and that's a good thing.  I won't be making anything big (quilts) for a while, but I hope to make some placemats and mug rugs, both for the craft fair and for my own use this year.  

Stay tuned.  I'm slowly getting back in the swing of things!  

Linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict today.

Lets Try This Again ..

Ok, even though i got moved into the house the end of May - and made a blog post saying how I was "back" .... yeah, well .... hopefully now I'm really back. 

It took a while for me to get the unpacking (most of it) done, and get things set up.  Lots of personal family issues going on as well, so that put the sewing room setup on hold.   

I finally got this table put together.  The instructions say you need 'at least two' people to do it.  Well, if you're determined enough (and creative enough) you can do it by yourself.  

Honestly, it's still a wreck (the sewing room) now that I finally have the cutting table put together, and I have an old desk to put the machine on, I can sew a little.  Fabrics and notions are still in storage buckets/bins stacked in the room but I need a little sewing therapy.   

Also, our church is having a festival/bazaar next month and I signed up months ago so I really need to make a few things so I won't have a totally empty booth/space.  

I did get in the sewing room and cut out a few things last night.  

I have made this recently. 

These are things I already had made before the move, previously listed in my Easy shop (which I closed during the move bc I was 'homeless' and could not ship anything. 

So, I hope to blog a little more often, and get re-involved in the sewing / quilting / blogging world!  I've missed it ... and all of you !

Starting Over ...

So I'm all moved in to the new house (not completely unpacked yet).  And I have internet again (haven't had that in two years).  Looking forward to setting up a new sewing room (an actual room, not a dining table or a desk in the living room).

Hope to be back in the swing of things and sewing again in just a few short weeks!

Connectivity ...

Due to Internet issues (I no longer have Internet at home) I haven't been blogging lately. It's just too difficult on my itty bitty phone.  I'm also not able to utilize facebook.

I am posting quite a bit on Instagram though so feel welcome to follow me there. www.instagram.com/sewystuff

I do still follow all your blogs via Bloglovin, I'm just not able to contribute right now.

WIP Wednesday

This week I am working on a set of baby bed bumpers for my soon to be born (in about two weeks) grandson.  He will be my third grandbaby, but my first grandson.  No, he wont be spoiled.  Well, at least not one bit more than the two girls are! 

Three done, three more to go.  Trying to get them done this week so I can take them Saturday when we go to his big sister's second birthday party.  

These are bad nighttime indoor photos.  Hopefully I can get some good ones when they go on his baby bed.
