Trenton Goodwill

I'm going to have to pay a visit to this Goodwill. Stacy found a sweet "treasure" chest there.

You can find me here

 

Stacy came to scrapbook and went home with a dresser

Despite a bad dream that my hosting of our scrapbook meeting was a nightmare, the day went very well. We ate, we scrapbooked, we laughed. 

And well for some, they scored a dresser/bench at the Goodwill store on the way over. I didn't get a picture but maybe she'll post on on Paper Cuts Like Us.

Busy Bees

 

4 days until

I host a scrapbook meeting aka Paper Cuts!! (I'm cheating a little by not cooking but catering from FD Subs I think is the only way to go.)

If it ain't broke... I'll break it

This is what ooooold butter fingers did when she tried to change the bobbin. I thought I fixed it and then metal parts came flying out of it.

Too cold to sew

It finally happened, I turned on the sewing machine (a year later after I received it mind you).  I decided I can sew a straight hem at least for a couple inches and I tried out sewing a blind hem.

Came out pretttty good if I do say so myself :)

What hem?

Here's my colorful scrap fabric from M. Avery Designs and Crate and Barrel Outlet. I don't even need to make anything I just like having it laying around in my sewing room aka the freezing cold basement.

Google "Sexy Apron"

I can't forget to mention the fabulous gift we gave the birthday girl.  Since she wants to enter her 30's a well-rounded woman she's picked up cooking lately and what would be more appropriate than a sexy apron. Below is what you find when you google "sexy aprons"

 

Carolyn's Kitchen sells these adorable aprons (beautiful, sweet friend wearing the apron not included.)

 

Oh this purse? I made it.

I made it out to Hoboken last weekend for one of my girlfriend's 30th birthday. I know what you're thinking, fancy dinner with cocktails then shots and dancing on bars to say goodbye to our 20's...but it wasn't quite like that. There was a surpise organized and it was at M. Avery Designs in Hoboken and we were making our own purses. That's right I had to sew something. 

(She was defintely surprised!)

We got to pick out which bag we wanted to make from several different patterns and we could also choose what fabrics we wanted from a large selection.

 

(black & white checkered on the outside and blue & white stripes on the inside)

 

They let us bring wine and we had cheese,crackers and grapes

I didn't give the owner my camera to take the group picture so you'll have to wait to see all of us and our finished products. I'll leave you with a picture of a newly anointed seamstress.
