Once upon...

a time, I and a black dog met. Here he is, so handsome, don't you think? I try my best to take good care of him. Dogs are great pets, It is only right to provide them a good home.

As for me, I am sewing some hand projects lately. One of my favorite things to sew are pillow cases, It's the different prints that can be used, and then I add my own touch by embroidering them too.  I'm hand sewing hexagons with scraps pieces, then eventually I want to quilt the piece into a pillow cover. Can't wait to finish it and then I can show it.

Have fun sewing!
Blessings

Hey there.

Hope you are creating something with needle, thread and fabric.

Enjoy your day and happy sewing!

I am...

Wow! has it been a while. I am back to my computer to try to do some entries on this blog of mine. So here we go.

I have made 3 beautiful baby quilts, 2 new bags, and 4 new tops for me.

For the longest time, I was not as good as I wanted to be on sewing collars for blouses but I finally got it! My latest top is a western pretty print blouse, and it actually looks like I got it from a store.
I am now a lot more confident with this skill and the nice thing about this is that I can make my pretty blouses in all the pretty fabric prints that I like and in my size!! I am still getting all the snaps in, quite a few to go.

The fair is coming around soon, and maybe I can wear my new blouse to the fair. We'll see..

Here are other projects I made. This bag is now in my ETSY shop.

Unique and one of a kind large bag.

This is a cute rag doll I made. Her name is Honey. Dolls are another favorite item to sew, always love to make dolls and cute dresses.

These are some necklaces I made from a pattern I saw. They are fun to make in all colors. 

Here he is, my lovable pup.

"Hello, I was napping but mom wants a picture of me."

My pup is playful as ever!! He is almost 7 years old but he has a lot of playful energy. That's my pup! He loves to get outside for his daily walks, and he loves to see people and other friendly dogs along the way. Talk about a social butterfly!!

Our weather on the Central Coast is just lovely, warm and sunny and breezy, and cool in late evenings and early mornings. It's beautiful. I am about to start a 4th baby quilt for another new mom to be, and I got the cutest fabrics today. I also have plans to make more wallets, bags, and clothes.


Sew, take care, and remember time to do something that can inspire you and others.

Enjoy your day, it is a gift!

Lovely cool days!

Time to bundle up! I love fall weather because it's fun to wear cozy slippers, socks, sweaters, and pretty hats! While it is getting cooler these days, I do still love to get out and do my walking. My pup also loves it and I still get to have time to do my sewing.
My bag is all done and I'm already using it. What do you think? It has the western feel to it because western prints are some of my very favorites.  I do love big bags!

My new bag.

I used it yesterday on my shopping spree with my daughter. We went to some of our favorite shops, had a nice brunch and got to spend time just talking. It is so nice to get out and look around, especially now when the bright Christmas colors are coming out in the stores. 

May your days be going brightly, and filled with joy from family and friends. It is the time of thanksgiving and love for one another so get out there and spend time with your family and friends.

My prayers and thoughts go out to the citizens of Paris France today. 

Keep looking up at the sky! and Happy Sewing! KS

Sew happy, I'm sewing!

Hello,

Well, have you been staying creative and busy? I have. Here are my latest sewing adventures.

foxes on cover of  clutch wallet, so cute!

One of a kind!!

So unique!

So here are a few things that I just finished. I really enjoy making these little girl dresses, they are simple and I can make them so different than what you see in stores. For sale in my ETSY shop. 

Sewing these small pieces of clothing are a great way for me to use up some fabric, to sharpen my sewing skills, and to make something unique for someone to wear. 

I also enjoy making myself clothing. I made myself some skirts, and a vintage top recently. My next item I would like to make is a western blouse, maybe soon I will have it made. We will see...

Well, where ever you may be, if you read this post, please drop me a comment or two. I would love to hear about sewing tips, or recipes, or how your neck of the world is. So hoping to hear from you.

For now, I wish you all happy November, and blessings. 

A great song I love is "Wonderful Merciful Savior", by Selah. 

Do take care, keep looking up to the sky!

Hi, Happy Sunday.
I'm enjoying this day just resting, nothing like just hanging out and resting on a Sunday.

Came back from church this morning and made some homemade biscuts. I love biscuts! Now I will have some left over for tomorrow's breakfast. Wonderful!!

Think I'll watch some television and do some hand sewing of course, I always have something to sew or embroider when I'm watching tv, its so relaxing for me.

Here is the quilt I just finished and I call it The Ocean Quilt.

I love to look at it, the many shades of water blue to darker blues, reminds me of fresh cool ocean breezes like the ones we have in the evening going through our back yard.  Lovely.

It is now listed in my ETSY shop. 

Scrap fabrics are my thing, I collect them and admit to having a bit too many scrap pieces of fabric but I would love to keep using them to make quilts like this one, so forward and onward I go.

Well, hope you are all having a lovely Sunday afternoon wherever you may be. I am thankful to my Lord, My God, who so lovingly provides for us these beautiful afternoons to enjoy. Keep looking to the sky and raise your hands up to him who loves you. 

Take care, KS

Classical Music

Good day to you.

Happy Father's Day to the dads of the world. Fathers are very special people. Hope they have a restful Sunday full of love and family.

I'm listening to some classical music while I type. I have always loved classical  music, since I was a child. Playing violin first, then the clarinet made me come to love classical music, concerts, and orchestras. Oh, the thrill of playing in an orchestra. I did that as a teenager in high school, I'll never forget it.

Thank goodness for our public library, where you can go check out music for free. It's Violin Concerto Prelude and Dance from Akhnaten Company, Adele Anthony, Violin and Ulster Orchestra Takuo Yuasa.

As for sewing today, let me show you two pictures of the flannel quilt I just finished today! It's a child's quilt or a baby's quilt.
The texture of this quilt is definitely soft, warm, and cozy,

You can see more pics on my Etsy shop because I plan to sell this one. It is so warm and perfect for cooler months to come.

Sure was fun to make this one because it was time to use up some flannel pieces I had saved. Now it is a very useful article that will make someone feel loved. Who doesn't like a favorite blanket?

 Please leave me any comments, or words of encouragement, or any classical music you recommend me to look for. I hope you all have a great Sunday,

Enjoy. Blessings. KS
