Pennant banner & Pillowcase dress for the little Ms.

I finally finished the first of several pillowcase dresses I'm making for the summer.

Front and back are coordinating fabrics so it can be used either way.

We have decided to keep the pennant banner without words so it can be used as decoration for anything.

I have leftover fabric that I'm thinking of making a top or some shorts up for the little Ms.

New find

I found this adorable chair and ottoman listed on craigslist.  I was excited to get it home and see what it is need of.  Definitely it needs a little help in the springs dept. and the cushions need a little boost, upholstery is a given but this chair is rock solid.  The bones it awesome on this piece and the ottoman.  I'm thrilled.  The little one in the house has claimed this as her own.  It is just the right size, Izzy size!  She climbs into it and all over it without a care in the world so for right now it will stay as it is until we come to a group decision on fabric.  Any thoughts?

switching gears

I purchased some fabric online the other day, it arrived super early today. Wow was that fast.  Now I have to get busy and make those little sundresses for my granddaughter.

Gotta love Etsy!

The computer/sewing room is going to be pushing things aside so I can set up my machine and get to work.  I am looking forward to this.  Simple easy pillow case dresses! woohoo...

Demolition of the computer room

It is a small room that houses the computer armoire and matching bookcases.  I use it for the computer, sewing room/craft room.  Right now it is piled with boxes, a filing cabinet and new insulation.  While the windows were installed a couple of years ago we never thought this room would be taken down to the studs, low and behold we are now doing it thanks to a huge draft that has been coming thru this room for years.  To our surprise we found when taking down the drywall one of the outside walls was actually missing insulation under one of the windows and the rest of the insulation that was on the wall literally fell apart in our hands upon removal.  While we're at it we are updating the wiring and putting in a ceiling fan into this room for a little more circulation during the summer.  I am so looking forward to this renovation.

Locating where wires were disappearing to in a oh so not direct route was interesting to follow the path.

A pop of color

For some reason I love this abstract art. I found it at Ollie's. It add just that right pop of color for the half bathroom downstairs.
