<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Working on some new items for the upcoming fall craft shows season. I have one at Northmor School Nov. 5th and Christmas in the Valley in Bellville on Nov. 12. I have never done back to back weekends, so this could get scary. My 2nd Annual Sew Sweet Vintage Open House will probably be Dec. 1st and 2nd....but maybe the 8th and 9th...haven't decided yet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First up is a grab and go First Aid kit....great to stick in a tote or diaper bag when going to the park, zoo or amusement park. Includes a pack of tissues and 4 band aids. It has a total of 12 pockets, so there plenty of room to add Neosporin, tweezers, Tylenol and such. I am also including a small rice pack for home use that can be heated in the microwave or put in the freezer for boo boos....and isn't the <strong>nurse fabric</strong> the cutest!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a dozen of these packaged up and ready to go.</span></div>

I may have to re-visit doing some aprons. I did them for many years, but the interest seemed to die down a few years ago, so maybe it's time to bring them back. Who doesn't love a cute apron! Here's a few a did awhile back:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Here are some of the ways I display items for the open house. I literally empty four rooms of my personal stuff (except for dishes in the cupboards) and use every inch of space for displaying handmade items, vintage finds and repurposed small furniture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am in love with the dark teal chippy paint. Some of the slats were missing, so I remove 3 more to make an even opening on each end.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Used my trusty staple gun to attach some chicken wire to the openings, added some saw tooth hangers to the back and called it done!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was so happy that the shutter had a recessed framing on the back so it created a little "shelf" to display item on the top!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I added some items I had on hand....a Bingo card collage and an embellished vintage "Fortnightly Time Book" that I made and an old key. The blocks on top that spell out "vintage" are from a complete alphabet set that belonged to my father-in-law when he was a little boy. The baby shoes are also his. The vintage photo is my mother-in-laws grandmother. So happy with how it turned out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Here are the before, during and after photos.</span><br />

Since it will be close to Easter, I decided to do more paper crafts. Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day and general greeting cards. I also made matching notebooks, manicure sets and gift card holders.</span><br />

Someone had painted it dark brown! I rescued it and painted it in Americana style to go with my décor at that time. Since my decorating style has changed dramatically, I decided it needed a redo.....vintage style. Spray paint, modge podge and scrapbook paper are wonderful things. I began going thru my stash of scrapbook paper and came across a lot of sewing themed paper as well as Paris, and French word papers, so that is how I began. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not hard work, but it was time consuming. I work on this on and off for about 3 weekends or so. I used vintage dictionary pages to line the inside. I am really pleased how well it turned out.</span><br />

Yesterday I did my first 5k race! Who'd a thunk it? A year ago I could barely walk around the block and weighed almost 300 pounds! Today I am down 115 pounds and ran a 5k in 44.28 minutes. It was extra special because I ran it with my daughter and grandson....woohoo, a 3 generation 5k!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I came in 154th....but I still beat 57 other people! Next time I need to pick a flatter course!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I bought this little easel/chalkboard at a garage sale last August for $5.00. It was a little cloudy and damp today, but I couldn't wait any longer to tackle this project, so I got out the spray paint and went to work. I used scrapbooking cardstock as well as chalkboard cardstock. The board flips over and I can hang things up with the little clothespins. I am pretty pleased with the outcome.</span><br />

I might hang this from the ceiling after Christmas, but since I don't have any ceiling hooks it will be just fine on my pastry cupboard for now.<br />
<br />
I printed snowflakes onto vellum paper and wrapped it around each jar. I used a 100 strand of white lights and just stuffed them into the jars. I didn't like the way all the white wires showed, so I place a wreath on top that has red berries and pine cones on it and that did the trick. After the holidays I may try out some different lights or maybe the battery operated flameless candles.....if I can find some that are on a timer. I don't think I want to have to reach in the jars everyday to turn them on....especially if it's hanging from the ceiling! I am pretty pleased with the results...it has such a pretty glow and shows off my jadeite Santa cookie jar so nicely!<br />

I wanted one with 2 levels of drawers and cupboard doors below. I have been a little cramped on storage space in my kitchen so I thought that was good enough reason to go shopping. I found one locally that had the space I needed, but it was painted black. So with a little antique white paint and a few hours work, it is now perfect.<br />

I have done this show for many years and always do very well, but I am switching things up a bit, which has me a little nervous! No purses this year!....not a one!<br />
<br />
Primitive decorating is very big in our area. It's not really my style, but I decided to combine prim items with decorating styles that I like. So I am calling it "Prim and Proper"....prim, shabby and cottage décor with a vintage flair! I have also figured out how to print on burlap and other types of fabric to create some really cool pillows and other art pieces. As you can see I kinda have a thing for mason jars! Here are a few samples of what I will have at the show. I will post pictures of my booth after the sale. Wish me luck!<br />

All the sisters brought their sewing machines and projects to work on . My sister in Columbus hosted this year and had recently converted her basement to a sewing room. We always have a great time. Most nights we sewed until at least midnight....and usually ending the evening with lots of laughs and a rousing game of Mexican train dominos. Here are some of our projects.<br />

I am just going to type and add the photos and not try to move stuff around cause that just isn't workin for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have had the idea in my brain for a while and decided to experiment on a collage quilt. I have used a variety of mediums; fabric, paper, ribbon, buttons, lace doilies and old keys and some old jewelry. I think there's a name for that...maybe mixed media. I really like the look, a little vintage, a little retro. The one with the spoon was really fun to do. I love the little vintage hangers. I found these online a long time ago, not knowing exactly what I would do with them. Now that I came up with this idea, I am having trouble finding them. The website I got the first ones from no longer carries them. So I e-mailed the wholesaler to see if they had them and ask if I bought a dozen, would they give me a discount. Well, it turns out they only had a handful left, but they sent me what they had at only 3.00 each (I paid 4.00 for the first ones). They are trying to find a manufacturer in China to make them. They told me a scrapbook company wanted to order 6000 of them if they ever find someone to make them. I hope they work it out! I will be selling these at a craft show I am doing at Clear Fork School on November 14th. I will also have aprons and purses to sell. I'll leave the big quilts to my three "sew sisters", and I'll stick to these little ones!<br />

We started in Crestline, Oh and made it just past Upper Sandusky. I got a few of my favorite things...buttons, jadeite, scrabble games and some books. Vicki scored a really cool vintage crochet set. At our last stop here is what I found and was my best buy:<br />

Can you say SCORE? I have a pretty good collection of Jadeite, but not in this pattern. It's called Lotus Blossom. I put a set of 4 on Ebay this week and Wahoo, they went for $32.00!!! I think I may have to list another set.<br />

Me and my 3 <em>older </em>sisters tote all our sewing machines, projects, fabric to my sister Diana's house. She has a studio behind her home that can accomodate all of us and right outside the door is a swimming pool....so its all good! This year we invited my sister in law Robin to come along. We call her our "sister from another mister" ! We had a blast! Lots of sewing, a little wine, lots of laughter, and it would not be complete without a trip to Mary Jo's Cloth Store in Gastonia, NC. We also brought gifts for each other, it was just like Christmas. I'll share some of those later.<br />
We refer to the get together as TBASSS. Which stands for <u>The Broke Ass Sisters Sewing Soire. </u> There's a little background story to that name. When were in the planning stages 3 of the 4 sisters broke something. Diana - ankle, Charlotte- ankle, Janee- ribs (like 6 of them in a car accident). I must be an honorary member...I just had a broken heart cause all my sisters were in a bad way. But all is mended now.<br />

She had little work stations set up for each of us with power cords and little ironing stations right by our sewing machines with a built in pin cushion. I will be adding some of our projects later. We all pieced french braid table runners.<br />

Well the idea when I started this blog was that I would have time to devote to it since I was going to be retiring in April. Well things have changed in the household and it turns out I am not retiring. It's really a bummer, but I'm getting used to the idea. At least I can talk about it now without crying, so I'm making progress. So I will try and keep updated with my projects and thrifting, but I won't be able to devote as much time as I had hoped.

This was the consignment auction that I got my set of Jadeite dishes at 2 years ago. There was lots of sewing stuff there, so me and Hubby and my brother and sister in law made a day of it. There were 3 Featherweight machines up for bid. Hubby tried to buy me one 2 years ago at this auctions, but I made him quit bidding at $345. I got mine for $170.00 ..SCORE!! Robin got one too, its a little nicer, it had attachments and the box it sits in...I think she paid $260.00. So that was my anniversary gift from the hubby. It is so cute...took me 2 days to figure out I had the needle threaded wrong, but I finally got it sewing. There were 12 or 15 boxes of feedsack fabric there, these had maybe 10 or 12 pieces each in them and they went for $100 to $210 a box...can you believe that...and the same lady got them all! There was also a ton of vintage fabric...I was willing to go $40 for the box I wanted.....it went for $90....bummer! It had such cute fabric in it...all retro and kitcheny...we got no fabric that day....it all went high. But we are happy with our little machines and had a fun day.</div>Margi Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07812374581765787919noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407239553228220243.post-17519191433704198372011-03-15T12:29:00.000-07:002011-03-15T12:29:53.528-07:00B is for Buttons and Bingo and Believe and BlissWell I have been working on a few things. I love these little vintagey wire hangers, so I decided to create a few wall hangings. These will probably end up in my Etsy shop. I did get some of my purse organizers with matching wallets listed. These are sew fun to make and so handy to keep coupons, receipts and your shopping list right where you can find it. <br />
I can't seem to concentrate on just one project lately, I just flit from one thing to the next. Maybe I need a road trip to clear my head. There is a wonderful antique shop in Lancaster, Ohio that I love. It is called the Ole Shoe Factory. I can spend hours in there. Hint, hint.....who wants to come with? Have a good week everyone!<br />

</tbody></table> Don't you just hate it when you want to make something and everything just goes wrong? I was so looking forward to a long weekend...(I had Friday off) and I just could not get the creative juices flowing. Arggg! I cut fabric wrong..my machine was being a pain, I couldn't find a pattern I knew I had purchased. I finally just had to walk away. So, Sunday was a new day and I decided I wasn't leaving that room until I created something cute! I have had this fabric for a while and decided it would make a cute table runner. I might have to make some matching napkins or maybe a Birthday Banner. It measures 36 inches long and 12 1/2 inches wide. I channel quilted the fabric first then added the ruffle and backing.

What a concept. I still need more hanging file folders. I haven't gotten to the third drawer yet, but two are done. I may change a few things. If they are small pieces, I put 3 or 4 fabrics on one file, which made them kind of thick. Trial and error I guess, but this freed up 2 shelves in my closet for card making supplies. I rearranged the whole room, so it's a little more user friendly. When I am making cards or scrapbooking I always hated dragging out all my tools and cluttering up my work area. So, I moved my table next to the closet that most of my tools are in. I can easily reach in and get a punch or whatever, use it and place it right back in the closet without even getting out of my chair. I am lovin' that! I also finally got my "S E W" letters hanging on my bookshelf. I love the scrolly design. I got them at Hobby Lobby.....1/2 price..Yeah!<br />

</div>I am in love with this stamp set. It is sew much fun! So many ways to use it. My sister in law Robin and I had a play date on Sunday and spent hours creating with it. Here are some of the pretties. Some of them will be listed in my Etsy shop. I used a vintage library pocket to hold the button card....plus a yo-yo of course!<br />
