Hey lovely people, I took your advice and put my St. Patrick's Day banner in my etsy shop! I have 4 of them for sale and you even get to choose the color of ribbon you like. They are so festive and include little metal shamrock charms. I'd love for you to have one! 😊 Teresa ☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend. I have been a bit under the weather so have been trying to take things slow. I hope you had a lovely Valentines Day! XOXO--Teresa ❤️😍🥰💖💝
Wowza! Bagette Elizabeth is sure doing her part to get Bozeman to use fabric bags. Look at all these great ones. She has made so many since beginning this chapter last summer. Way to go Elizabeth! Keep up the amazing sewing--Teresa

This is 110 bags ready to go! I have been busy sewing over 150 bags this month for the Bozeman area. I take them a handful at a time to the grocery store and library to put on the Boomerang Bag “trees” so people can take them for free if they need a bag.

Hey there, I kept getting distracted every time I sit down to post! Distractions:
1) I made myself 2 new king shams out of Harmony Art Organic Cotton and I love them! 🛏️
2) I made inserts to get stuffed in all the pet beds. I pinned the inserts to the outside of the bed so it wouldn't get lost in the "stuffing shuffle" as all the beds vary in size due to donated fabric pieces. 🐶 🐱
3) Made a bunch of Valentine bags from fabric I found while cleaning the basement. I offered them to my neighborhood and they were snapped up quickly. Fly little heart bags, do your fabric job!💖
4) Made 2 special request game piece small pouches for a friend whose hubby makes a board game called Aggravation. I made some for her a couple of years ago too, fun project. 🎲
5) In between sewing, I'm organizing my painting/crafting table and working on watercolors here and there. I'm having so much fun after a many year hiatus. 🎨
What are you up to? XOXO--Teresa
I’ll get back to sewing pet bed inserts tomorrow but I’ve been having some fun this week with paint. 🥰😊 🎨 🖼️
I've been doing an entire revamp of my basement sewing space. Now that I am not doing alterations any longer, I finally have the time. I made use of lots of thick fabric this weekend by making a ton of pet beds (first photo). I have a giant pile of fabric scraps (second photo) that are begging to be stuffing. I've also included a photo of in process and one of the zippers so the covers can be pulled off and washed. Now, I have to make the inserts that will get filled with scraps and then crammed inside the beds. It will feel soooooo good to clear out the scrap mountain! XOXO--Teresa
Hey there. It's been a whirlwind around here. Little Girl was here for Christmas break and went back to Nashville for her final semester on January 5. She turned 23 on January 6. Big Girl found a great apartment about 15 minutes from our house and we were helping her move. She took some furniture from our house which has prompted me to rearrange, clean out and declutter TONS of the rooms in our house. I love when things can move on to others but it sure takes a lot of work! Here are a few pics to recap the end of 2024:
1 & 2) My sewing machine ornament collection with a very cute one to add from Bagette Ingeborg.
3 & 4) We spent the week of Christmas at the cabin and even cut down a tree on our property to decorate. We did simple cranberry/popcorn strands and made cardboard ornaments with paint pens. Big Girl took it to a whole new level and made an entire village that we hung on the window. So cute and fun.
5) I have been saying for YEARS that I would make a sturdy bag to store the Christmas tree. I finally did it, zipper and all.
6 & 7) The Kalanchoe Marnieriana that I have had for over 8 years and have propagated to several other vessels bloomed! I am so excited this happened. I didn't even know they had flowers. It was such a pretty explosion of orange in my window.
8) Mr. Schefflera is going to bloom AGAIN this year. I have read so much about this plant and it is super rare for it to bloom in homes. I was stunned when it bloomed last year and didn't dare hope it would ever do it again…
9) I was honored to be asked to make bridesmaid pouches for a special bride. Each of the pouches represents one of the loves of the person she is giving it too. So sweet. :)
