Covet

Have you ever had a somewhat crucial button pop off mid day?

Had a seam loosen or even break during a special occasion? (Oh yeah, been there, hello poorly made bridesmaid dress from David's Bridal.)

Or just had a loose string that caught your attention every other minute and drove you crazy throughout the day?

If so, a baby sewing kit could have helped save your sanity.

Check out this one from Fossil!  It looks just like a little clutch so it could stay in a purse of desk drawer!

Super cute, no?

I'm back to serve up some weekly inspiration!  Enjoy!

Makes you wanna make yourself a nice hot cup of chocolatey goodness doesn't it? Yes, yes it does.

Happy Everything!

In my family we have a big dinner and open gifts with immediate family to 'make room for Santa'.  Don't want him tripping over anything when he comes in preparation for Christmas morning! Then on Christmas day we do the big thing with aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, pet...the whole  shebang.  We eat insane amounts of food, take lots of pictures, open gifts, laugh, and just enjoy the time!  

I hope everyone out there has good times, good food, and good company!

Happy Christa-hana-kwanzaka!  Or just have a happy weekend!

Oh and check out this awesome holiday greeting from Rob Ryan!

Such A Great Week!

This week was so awesome craft and fabric wise!!  First off I won a Kona Cotton Charm Pack from the PMQG Blog!  Such bright pretty colors!  Thinking a rainbow baby quilt or mini quilt...hmmm so many options!

I also got my November ALFALC swap package this week from Isaacsmama! Such wonderful goodies!  A cosmetics bag, organic knitted washcloth, fabric, and of course chocolate!



I also spent most of the week in Baton Rouge, Louisiana visiting a friend of mine and while there discovered the most awesome fabric shop called the Fabric Krazy Quilt Shop! I was able to get my hands on several prints from Tula Pink's Plume line, Amy Butler's new Soul Blossoms line, as well as several other prints! Also they had so many precuts! I only indulged so far as to get a Dream On charm pack, but oh my goodness! None of the Houston shops have anywhere near that many precuts!



I am also expecting in the mail some Tula Pink Parisville precuts from Above All Fabric that I am super excited for! Not to mention I am anxiously awaiting my Modern Swappers package! LOL!

The Big Reveal

My Modern Swappers partner, who happened to be an awesome person named Krista, got her package last week as well so I thought I would share the pictures she took of what I sent her! She seemed to love everything so I am crazy excited! I made her a reversible table runner and 4 matching placemats. I also sent some Macaroni Love Story, Tufted Tweets, and Japanese prints, Anthropologie coffee mug, plus a bunch of notions, trims, and Neptune note cards.


(All photos taken by Krista and link back to her Flickr.)





And oh my goodness I am so excited her table runner fit her table! I was totally freaking out over the size and it magically fits perfectly! That was such good luck!



All in all participating in Modern Swappers has been the most amazing experience! I really feel like I got to know my partner and I am super anticipating my own package arriving! I absolutely cannot wait to participate in the next round!
