Just Sew It

Mini-Scrapbook Album

I just finished making a mini-scrapbook album for my brand new niece. I’ve started a trend for myself by making mini-albums for new moms for their baby shower gift. They seem to be a big hit so why not. Baby will probably receive a 12 x 12 scrapbook from me on her first birthday. Since that is such a huge undertaking, only family gets one. Last year I made one for my nephew. It feels so good to see the parents gasp when they open up the book. Now scrapping a little girl just adds to the fun.

By the way, my niece is name after Giada De Laurentiis the famous chef that my brother looovvves.

Ukrainians Put Too Much Sauce and Cheese on Pizza

My 7 year old son asked me if I thought Ukrainians were good cooks. I told him “yes!”. He then asked if I thought Ukrainians make a good pizza. I replied, “yes”. He then stated that Ukrainians put too much sauce and cheese on pizzas.

Do you think he is trying to tell me something??? Man, that boy is one smart cookie. I have to write this down in his scrapbook.

I’ve been busy. I finished my client’s cushion and throw pillow and she was happy. I never got around to a tutorial as I failed to take enough pictures.

I have a window topper that is a swag for my own bedroom on hold because there is something very odd about the pattern. I have a call into McCalls and have spoken to them a couple of times but they have to figure it out. Hmmmmm….. I hope they get back to me soon.

I still want to post some how-to-videos but have yet get my tripod from husband.

My Etsy shop is my next priority. I want to finish up some products and get them in my store.

April and May is such a busy month I find. With spring cleaning, yard work, and finishing up winter scrapbooking projects keeps me extremely busy. It’ll be nice when summer comes.
