stitching this week...and other things

This has been the week from Planet Crapola. Seriously. Work was chaotic and let's not mention that I worked from home yesterday and today because I have an ear and sinus infection with a migraine on top of it. Thankfully the headache is gone today but I honestly think I'm having an allergic reaction to either the antibiotics (which I have taken before) or one of the two shots I got. My arms hurt and feel like they are on fire. My cheeks too. I am also almost two weeks behind on my next class for my MBA. And I'm being a big whiney butt. Sorry.

So, with that paragraph explaining all my woes, you can imagine I got very little stitching done this week. The pictures look like I have stitched up a storm, but it's been a while since I shared lol So, let's see what I've done.

This is where I am on the pig wedding gift. It's what I am working on today as a matter of fact. Since taking that picture several hours ago I got the hill started, the pink on the ears and snouts done and finished the blue flower on the left.

This was the stopping point on my Halloween stitch called Calvin and Trixie by Stitching with the Housewives. Almost finished with the left garland.

I'm focusing on this window on the Kringles pattern by Little House Needleworks. I actually have more done that the picture shows. I finished that bottom present and did the one on the shelf.

Here's where I am on Pumpkin Cottage by Country Cottage Needleworks. I think this is my favorite I'm working on this week.

I did some fabric and thread dying this week and LOVE how it turned out! The picture doesn't do it justice. It's a beautiful purpley lavender. I'm going to do Halloween stitching on the fabric...a couple of designs by Stitching with the Housewives.

Well, that's all for now. I'm tired and cranky and I need to go cook some supper.

Until next time...

Make it work....

OK. So, the fabric I got from the challenge isn't tooooo bad together :) I'm making it work. My problem is with the trims. What am I suppose to do with the ribbon and lace??? Maybe a lace rose? Ribbon straps?with suspender clips? AACCKKK!!!! I'd post a pic and get suggestions but my rules said I can't do that. Soooo, I guess I'm on my own. I'll keep you posted! In other designing news...I've got a Valentine set finished. It goes in the mail tomorrow to the model. I got more Valentine fabric to sew. Not sure what I'm doing with it yet though. And another Valentine set planned, but with not overly Valentine fabric so it could be worn later in the year. Pretty, isn't it? Andddd...be on the lookout for a new website. www.boutiquerascals.com I'll have my wonderful creations for sale there and there will be lots of great things from all my Rascal buddies. We'll have clothes, bows, purses, jewelry, tooth fairy pillows, lots of great things!...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hello October!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've read a bunch of books, eaten some yummy foods, sewn a lot of quilt blocks and stitched a lot of stitches. I've also had a wonderful vacation to Disney with the WHOLE family! Let me just tell you, it was HOT there. Yes, I know it's Florida and it's supposed to be hot. But ya'll. I'm originally from south Louisiana, I get heat and humidity, but this was overwhelming lol the heat indexes were upper 90s and hit 101. In mid-September. But we still had a marvelous time. We rode all the rides we were aiming for and ate most of the snacks we planned for. And we got in two of our traditions-Boston Lobster Fest and mini-golf! I totally went off any eating plan while there. Mind you, I am not really on an eating plan right now, but I didn't overthink food. If I wanted the fish and chips from the England pub at EPCOT, I ate...

Until Next Time...
