Been Away too long.

Sorry, I have been away far too long.
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas and is enjoying the New Year.
I have been busy with a new venture in life. As most of you know I lost my Mother to Breast Cancer over a year and a half ago. We were told by the Doctors that her Cancer was not genetic but environmental and that we needed to remove all the toxic chemicals out of her life and ours as well.
So I went on a search for safer products from all of my families houses. Was disappointed with the grocery store "Green" brands and found the health food store "green" brand far too expensive.
Back in September a friend introduced to  Wellness company that had superior products for my home and family. They were products we all use in our everyday life. They were free from chemicals and safe for my family. They had superior vitamins and supplements and the majority of the products cost less then the grocery store brands. So here I found, safer, more cost effective products for my family.
I was so happy with these products that I just wanted to share with all my family and friends. Wally encouraged me to do this as a way of supplementing our family income. He said I was so passionate about the products and the positive effects it had that I should share my excitement and profit from it. I knew there was a good reason I married him.....
Of course, this put my second passion on the back burner but since I have so much more energy now that I am taking vitamins, I know can get back to doing both.
If you are ready to remove all the dangerous chemicals out of your life and families lives, just send me a private message.

Crazy Days.....

This fall just seems to be flying by, I can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving. You know what follows that.
I just wanted everyone to know that my website is currently under construction. I have decided to go with another web host and will be revamping my site.
I will post when it is back up and running.

Happy that time a year again.

I am having so much fun making these great trick or treat bags.
I know they will hold lots of yummy treats and your kids will get many years of good use out of them and even keep them to pass down to their kids.

Calling all quilters.

Okay ladies, I need some advice.
I am getting ready to send another Iron to the old Iron grave yard.
I would love to hear what your favorite Iron is and why.
Thanks in advance.

All's I can say is Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Kate Spain !!!!

I have been waiting for months to get my hands on Fandango, a wonderful new line of fabric from Kate Spain for Moda.
Not only is this fabric beautiful to look at but it has such a nice feel to it, like butter !!!!!
I had to pace myself so I purchased a few pieces but OMG, I can't wait to go back and get more.
These pieces are going to make gorgeous Purses, Book Bags, Diaper Bags. Hmmm, I need a new Purse !!
This first group is beautiful shades of Tiffany Blue, Greens and Creme. My pictures really don't do it justice. Really the green is a soft dreamy color and it just doesn't show up that way.

The next group is a bright fun Orange, with big beautiful flowers in shades of Peach, and the leaves are that yummy Tiffany Blue surrounded by that dreamy Green.

Last but certainly not the last I buy, he he, is that dreamy Green with Tiffany Blue and Creme, and the accent piece is like the most beautiful Spanish tile you have ever seen, oh boy, am I over the top on this fabric or what????

Finally some new fabric !!!

I finally got around to taking some pictures of new fabric I bought for either a Purse, Book bag or Diaper bag.
I am posting here first, mainly because it is such a pain to post on my website.
This first group is bright and cheery fabric with great shades of Yellow, Black, Gray and White. I love the accent fabric that fades from Black to Gray. The main fabric and Gray accent fabric is a line called Eclipse.

This next fabric I have used before but found  a different accent fabric.

These bright cheery fabrics are by Michael Miller. Fun shades of Black, Lime Green, Peach Red and Tiffany Blue.

Next is a line called Meadowsweet by Sandi Henderson for Michael Miller

I just love the shades of Pink, Orange, Peach, Creme, and a punch of Brown.

Okay, fell in love with this fabric, so much so I bought it with out a accent piece to go with it.    Oh look, another line by Michael Miller, see a pattern forming? The background on this fabric is a deep Brown, with bright flowers in Pink and Blues and Greens. Love it !!

What's that saying about the shoe makers kids???

Well, I finally got my daughter's book bag done. So it was a week after school started, you know the shoe makers kids.
Every year before school starts Amanda and I go shopping for fabric to make her school bag. Amanda always picks her fabrics and knows exactly where and how she wants them.
This year she decided she didn't want a tote, she was ready for a book bag. She picked a great line of fabric called Sanibel by Heather Mulder Peterson for Henry Glass.
It is such a bright and cheery fabric, much like Amanda.
I love the shades of deep peach, yellow, greens and blues.

Don't you agree, it matches her personality.
