bamboo

good day folks! thought i'd show off my latest bag and my first encounter with bamboo fabric. i absolutely love this stuff! it dyes up beautifully(dyed this in a yucca green) and its so flowy!! i was really wanting to keep this sweet bag for myself but decided to put it in the shop. let me know what you think!

we have an appraiser coming to our house in a couple of hours so i must keep this short and straighten up around here. my oldest daughter is sick. her gland in her neck is so swollen :( and she woke up last night covered in hives. i have no idea if these things are connected or what.we actually managed to get into the dr. today.... hopefully they'll know what's going on. i'll let you know when i do!

one last thing! i'm featured on a blog giveaway. check out the blog by clicking here
and check out all the details. it doesn't take much and you might score a freebie! good luck to all :)

~happy day~

passing on the wisdom

i started teaching our oldest daughter how to sew and guess what? she loves it! her first project was a bag that she plans on taking her lunch to school in. we went to joanne fabrics at she picked out what she wanted...a really cute print :)

i cut out all the pieces for her and she did everything else on her own!


as she was sewing she said "hey mom, now we'll be fighting over the sewing machine!" too funny..but probably true. she goes back to school tomorrow (boooo!) so at least the machine's all mine during the day :)


she did such a great job....i'm so proud of her!! once she has a few things made we're going to let her start her own etsy shop,with my help. she wants to make some buttons too to put in there. i'm so glad she likes to create!




hope you enjoyed the pics. have a great day folks!
