Projects 5 and 6!

So, lately it seems all I've been doing is sewing and watching crappy TV. (which I am addicted to. Whoops) But as of late it seems like I've only been sewing for other people. It's Halloween time and that means I sew people's costumes for them. Which I really do love doing. I just think it's nice to sew for myself once in a while. Which is why when I found the wallet I've been looking for (minus the fact that it was boring looking) this evening, I bought it and embellished it right away. I forgot the get the before picture, but I'm sure you can picture it. it was just plain. Anyway, I just cut out this lovely bird slapped it on and stitched. I think it turned out way cute! FYI hand sewing through leather kinda hurts, just in case you were wondering.














Also, as you all know I was working on the crib bedding making it actually unisex. I cut out the circles, fray checked them, and ironed them on. I sewed around most of them when I realized I didn't like the way it was looking, so I unpicked them all. ha ha ha whoops. But I think they look good without the stitching or any embellishments. Anyhow, here's the before and after.

ANNOYING!

So, the wonderful unisex bedding we got is not so unisex after all. It came in the mail the other day. I was so excited I opened it up to find pink polka dots all over the back sides. I'm sorry So Ho Designs, but pink is what we call gender specific. I am going to be altering this wonderful bedding to make it actually unisex. I'll show pictures later.

I Should Be Sleeping But...

Instead I decided to update my Playlist. I just get so tired of hearing the same songs every time I go to my blog. Don't get me wrong I love the music, I just felt it was time for a change. Some of these are old favorites of mine and some are new. Have a listen I hope you enjoy. I know I do.
