Crush: HEARTS

It's no secret I have a little (ok...big) crush on hearts. I can't help it. They make me happy! With Valentine's Day just around the corner, that's what  this post is dedicated to...hearts!  

A little heart eye candy for ya:

My sister, Casey, got me these cool shades as a present! I know they will get a lot of use this summer in this Laredo sun!

I would love to have this chalkboard, but I waited too long and now it's sold out!! Hoping it comes back in stock soon.

These lovely photos I found here. 

Check out this fun tutorial here. How sweet would these be for a V-day photo shoot?

I am drooling over this sweater, but again...it's sold out! 

 I think this idea is one of the sweetest ever! I might have to try it. 

Too much?? I'll stop there. Don't want to over do it! What have you been crushing on lately? 

I hope these hearts have inspired you to be a little creative this Valentine's Day.  Have a fabulous V-Day, filled with the ones you love!

Sewing slump...

It seems that I have hit a sewing slump lately. Does that ever happen to you? I don't know if it is because it is summer time or what, but I just do. not. want. to. sew. If you know me, that is crazy talk!! The fact that my son is working on dropping his nap doesn't help either. His naps are usually when I do my crafting. That little stinker!

I have so many projects waiting to be made. Every year I make most of my Christmas gifts, and this year I do not want to disapoint! This year I am undertaking my biggest project to date! If I want to complete all my gifts in time, I need to get started ASAP. But I just can't work up the energy....hopefully I will get started next week. I wish I could share what I will be making, but I don't want to spoil the surprise for my family!

I've recently joined Pintrest. It's my new addiction, and it is motivating me to get in front of the machine and create something! I have found so many project ideas on there.

Here are just some of my favorites:

I have the perfect fabric for this! The pattern can be found here.

Fabric matching game. Genius! Some people are just so creative. Bobby is getting really good at games like this, so I really want to make this soon. Pattern here.

I love this oven mitt! It would make such a great gift. Can't wait to make it!

I saw these pillows when I was pregnant with Lily, and just knew I wanted to make them for her someday. How cute are they?!

Look. At. This. Dress. I can't get enough of it!! You can get the PDF pattern here. I love the fabric used for this dress. It is so happy! I can't wait for Lily to get older so I can make it for her.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again...some people are so creative! I can hardly stand it. I hope to come out of my slump and get back to sewing soon, so keep checking my blog and my shop for updates!

Fabric for your Mr.!

Aren't these some of the cutest fabrics for little boys? Finding fabrics for little boys can be hard...there are so many out there for the girls! So when I saw that Ann Kelle (who has quickly become my favorite fabric designer) is coming out with these in March, I was so excited!! Cars, trucks, planes...need I say more?

Come on...be excited with me!!

Bobby has a thing for planes right now...hmmm...I think he needs a new pillowcase!

Love'n the cars!
