Library Bags

Today I worked on and finished both of the library bags for my niece and nephew.  It was a simple tote bag to do.  I added my own twists to the pattern like I usually do.  I added their names on the outside and a pocket on the inside.  Overall, they were a fun and easy project to do on a snowy day.  I am so excited to give them to my niece and nephew.  They love going to the library and reading books.  So now hopefully they will want to drag my sister to the library more and more.  Check out the pictures below.  I hope everyone is having a safe snow day and that the cleanup doesn't take forever.

Jumper

I finished sewing on the buttons for Sophia's jumper this morning.  It turned out really cute.  I wanted to make it so that she could wear it to a get together at my grandma's today.  I gathered all of her clothes to get her dressed today and put the jumper over a cute onsie and leggings only to find out that the jumper is too big.  Oh, well....I guess she can wear it in the summer.  I could probably give it to my niece and it would fit her for a little while.  Nevertheless....It was a cute and challenging project!

A ton of different ideas.....

Today my mom and I went to Royce Quilting in West Bend.  It was the first time that we had gone to that quilt shop and we were so excited to see all of the crazy fabric and ideas they had.  I left the store wanting to get a jelly roll pack and make a quilt of strips.  They had a beautiful quilt there that was so my colors.....brown, pink and cream.  It was beautiful and so easy to do!  I have finish some of the other projects that I already have the materials to make.  On the agenda for the rest of the day is to finish the jumper that I am making for Sophia and than 2 library bags for my niece and nephew!  I can't wait to do those.  They are going to turn out so cute!  I will post pics once I finish each project.  My mind is going about a million miles a minute!!!

My Introduction

Hi Everyone....

My name is Maria and I am a stay at home mom.  I recentely started learning how to sew.  My mom is a great teacher and taught me all the basics.  After that my abilities have just taken off.  I usually use my 10 month old daughter as the guinea pig for my projects, so you will see a lot of girly stuff on here. Anything that I post on my blog can be purchased and I do take custom orders.  I hope you all enjoy my blog and feel free to ask me questions or give any comments!  I look forward to the future that this blog will bring!!
