Being Productive on a Snow Day!

It is amazing what can be accomplished on a snow day...allergy shots, alterations on pants, running, installing Photoshop and having no clue what to do next, and of course sewing! I was not feeling creative this weekend, so I was excited that I had today off to get busy on my ever growing list of sewing projects. I can't post all of it on here today but will in just a few short weeks. I worked on an order from a friend to give to a coworker who is a XO! I love this cute little owl!!
I was even able to embroider it on the bib! I am definitely getting more comfortable with embroidery and even did the "C" pictured below on the burp cloth. I really love how it turned out!!



These colors/fabrics are just so much fun!
I started back to running on Friday after taking a very long break. I should have started earlier since I signed up for a 5K that is this Saturday, but I had trouble getting motivated. I have already improved my time after 2 runs...even if it is only by a second...improvement is improvement!! I even bought custom shoe inserts to decrease the pain I have had in my foot the last few months...so far so good...not pain free but better!
I am really excited about learning how to use photoshop! I just opened it and didn't even know where to start, so I have LOTS to learn but I am sure it will be a fun learning experience!
I may have to work on Friday since we were closed today but either way, I loved having this day to really be productive and the day is not even finished...off to do more...more pictures of sewing projects coming very soon!!

Ready for More Sewing!

I am having so much fun sewing! I stayed up last night working on another project, and I have been brainstorming all day for more fun ideas. Here are some of the fun fabrics I have ordered. I just ordered more last night, too! I love the bright colors!!!



The dots are some of my favorites.


I could not resist the owl fabric!!

This one is just too cute. I ended up ordering more of this fabric once it came in because it is just too cute! I am thinking this fabric would make the cutest pillowcase dress!
