I haven't had time to work on this yet, but hopefully soon. Such an honor to be asked to join in with a lovely bunch of my friends who are 'crazy' quilters also.

Long time between posts

I meant to add that these birthday gifts for them is the last thing I have made other than all my sewing for eBay. I didn't want to put these pictures on my blog until they received these, however I don't know if they look at my blog anyway. Then I really forgot about putting them on.

We have been very busy with eBay for which we are thankful. But all the sewing is doll related things. Lots of shoes, socks, underwear, etc. I'm looking forward to some crazyquilt stitching someday????

Enjoyed making these "jewelry pillows"

Both my girls Birthdays are in February, so they always get the same thing from us! This year I decided to give them some of my old, old, good jewelry. So I came up with the idea to make these pillows and put it on them.

I didn't know what to give each one, so I didn't mark the packages and just told them if they wanted to trade around that was fine with me.

They were very excited to open them. It is hard to come up with something for them now. I used to make victorian things for them, but now they have both redecorate their homes in the 'old world' style. So all I could do was make them the right colors!!

My girls Birthday presents in February

A VINTAGE SEWING BOX

I found this sewing box, (I'll call it a box, as it isn't really a basket) some time ago at an estate sale. First I must tell you that I LOVE sewing baskets of any kind. It has become a joke in my family about Mother's sewing baskets! I use them too. I have them all supplied with the notions that might be needed and an ongoing project that I can work on. I can grab one if going away from home for any time at all, (even while I sit under the hair dryer at the beauty shop) and enjoy some time stitching.

But I found this one and decided since it is actually a box and not easy to carry around, I would sell it on eBay. So I listed it starting this evening for 1 week. Here are pictures of it that I want to share with all of you that enjoy sewing also.

More hats for eBay

I have changed styles and am now making velvet hats for antique dolls. Here are 2 that I listed on eBay today. I have more in the making. Oh, the first picture is another lace hat that was quick to make. Then the velvet ones. These are a little more work, as lots of hand sewing to finish them off, but they are fun! I'm using up some velvet (the stretchy kind) that I decided not to use with CQ. But it is perfect for the hats, as I can stretch it to fit whatever shape I want to.

I am trying to clean out and use up more out of my sewing room, as I have the goal in mind to have it all neat and orderly with eBay sewing fabrics & trims on one side and CQ on the other! So........... again, .............. we'll see!

February 5, 2008 February already!!

I have been really busy this past 3 or 4 weeks catching up on my sewing for eBay. Here are some of the things I have made. Here are 3 different lacy hats I have made for antique dolls. I made 6 and they are all sold already. So ......
