Just Sew It

My customer wants me to sew this on her cushion. I’ll be posting pictures on each step as I do it.

I love Martha Stewart’s website. Her staff do such a wonderful job with filling it with fantastic recipes, crafts, decorating idea and much much more. I could spend hours every day on there. If I had the time, I would try to some of her cool crafts and such but I get to may be try one here and there.

This morning while the kids were playing I sat at my sewing machine looking at all the stitches it has and the fancy functions it can do. I love my machine. But the next time I purchase a machine I’m not spending so much money on one. I will most likely stay with Pfaff as it has the IDF but all I need is the dual feed and the needle down/up function. I managed to squeak in some sewing too which I really miss doing. The Xmas season as not allowed me to get cuddly with my machine. I made my daughter some head bands. I found a tutorial on KC Quilts. She loves them!

I’ve been wanting to change my theme for a while. I like the other one but I’m tired of the blue and I also wanted to make my theme more general.

Christmas shopping is almost over. I have a few homemade gifts to make. I still have not make the corn bags yet and I have three scrapbooked layouts to make for Grandparents. But life is so busy.

Robert Shaw born in 1927 played a most memorable role in the movie Jaws. His performance as Captain Quint in Jaws (1975) is ranked #28 on Premiere Magazine’s 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time. I love this movie and this character. My brother loves this character too. In fact he loves this character so much that he just named his new born son after Quint. Quinten was born yesterday, December 11, 2007, to my brother and his wife. Poor girl had a rough labour and delivery. Baby Quinten was 8 lbs. and a few ounces. A pound makes a big difference. He is a big boy. When I walked into the hospital room my brother announced his name. He immediately asked me which character I knew that this name is from. I asked, “Quentin Tarantino?” Nope. Try again he states. He gives me a slight hint of his all time favorite movie. That’s easy. Quint from Jaws????!!! Yes!!! That is hilarious. First I love the name but it makes it even better that he named it after that character. I love that character. Remember? “Jesus H. Christ” or “Here’s to swimmin’ with bow-legged women”

While visiting one of my favorite blogs, I stumbled across this blogger. She lives in Montana and runs a bed and breakfast. She also shares a lot of recipes. I don’t enjoy cooking but I love good food. I also adore country living. Check it out:
