Just Another Sunny Sunday

2008-04-13T17:43:00.000-07:00

It's oh so warm here in Phoenix Arizona today at about 95 degrees Fahrenheit. And it's only Spring. I am currently waiting patiently for my Huskylock serger to be serviced and maintenanced. After a horrible crash to the floor, just late last week, I decided it would be best to take the baby in. Fortunately, it does still work and with just a few minor issues that are fixable. So what happened, you may ask? Well, like a dummy, I leave my sewing machines plugged into the wall and left upon the table that my dog, Meeca, likes to sleep under. Well, there was a knock at the door from UPS and Meeca runs to the door, barking, and dragging my serger along with her because Meeca's tail got caught up in the power cords and thread spools. It was such a sad moment for me. After calming myself down I knew right away that I wanted to take it down to the shop. I am glad I did, but I will be even more happier once I get my baby back. My lesson learned? Yes, please, unplug my machines when I am done sewing.

Kitty Has A Home

Yes, I came home to no kitty on the porch. It turns out that he belongs to my downstairs neighbor. So, I was very glad to hear that is not a stray and he has a loving home. And the best news is...? These goggles. I purchased these babies from BoilerGoth and they are my new favorite. I love checking my mail and finding my Etsy purchases. Follow this link to read my feedback on these wonderful handmade goggles.

Kitty At The Door

2008-04-12T18:20:00.000-07:00

It was so cute this morning when a little furry friend showed up at my doorstep. While I was at home cleaning and getting ready for work, when I heard the faint sounds of a cry. When I opened my front door and looked down, there was this sweet little grey kitty. He didn't have a collar on, but looked healthy and most likely--he had a home. I live on the second floor in my complex and I have a dog, so I don't know why this kitty liked my house, but he did. I couldn't let him in because of my doggy (pictured), so the kitty stayed outside, just at the top of the steps. I left for work, so I will see if he is still there when I get home. Cutie.

Blog Pause

2008-04-10T10:55:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone,
I have been on hiatus with this blogging thing. But, I haven't forgotton about you. Just been so busy with 3 day jobs and of course sewing by night. I am a front desk receptionist in two different spots, a part time art teacher, and free lance clothing designer.
I would love to work full time as a teacher and gain experience the field of education. I recieved my substitute teaching certificate in the mail recently and that is so exciting. My next step is to decide on a school district. :) We have BIG plans baby!!

Made Cookies

2008-03-21T19:36:00.000-07:00

Just so excited for my day off. I got organized, made a skirt, I retook some photos for the etsy, listed, cleared out a space, I even baked. Yummy chocolate chip cookies. I make them without soy. Some vegan cookie recipes call for soy flour or soy milk, I just use some special concocotion, and wal-la. Vegan, soyless, cookies. It's been a great day. And Arizona's weather right now can't be beat.

So Much Fabric, So Little Time

2008-03-19T18:39:00.000-07:00

Actually, there are so much supplies, so little room and so little time. I have projects on the back burner, front burner, and piled up so high. Projects in my head, ones I've started, ones I've abandoned, ideas written on random pieces of note paper, half done projects, half started projects, stored projects...you get the idea. I'm sure?

So far, my time lately has been spent collecting material and trying to organize. Really trying to downsize as far as materials go. Use the ones I have rather than going out and new fabrics. But, somehow there is comfort in the chaos and going shopping for new fabrics always gives me new found inspiration. What's so bad about that? I just love arts and crafts! xo
