thank you and a sewing machine cozy
December 31st, 2007
Thank you everyone who is visiting from Sew Mama Sew. And thank you to Sew Mama Sew for featuring me a few times (!) this week. It’s an honor to have my things on such a fantastic blog. If you’d like to know who’s writing this blog (me) you can click on the about link on the right. Thank you for all your kind comments. I try to reply to most, but I’m a little behind because of the holidays. Starting a blog was on my to do list for most of this (2007) year and I’m so glad to have finally crossed it off. I never would have believed that a few kind words from strangers could inspire me so much. Many of you are no longer strangers, but people I look to often for advice. Thank you for sharing your ideas and thoughts with me. It’s a pleasure to be a part of such a creative and supportive community. I’ll need even more of that support next year because one of my resolutions is to start an etsy shop. And sew myself some clothes that don’t suck. Do you have any crafty resolutions for the new year?
The picture is a present I made for another sister. I showed you the needlebook and pincushion already, but I made the sewing machine cover to match after seeing the sorry looking toaster cozy she was using to cover up her sewing machine. Just a simple lined piece of patchwork with ribbon ties on each end. And an embroidered sewing machine so she knows where it goes (not on the toaster).
Hope you all have a happy new year!
Ahhh I really like the present. Especially the embroidery for quick location ID.
I am not coming over from Sew Mama Sew even thought it is a great blog that I just got featured on too.
However, i am coming over as a loyal blog reader to wish you a happy new year and can’t wait to see what ’08 holds for you.
Happy New Year
Ack. What a fine idea. I have the teal( I hate the word teal, but I don’t know what other color to describe it as) and orange version of that bird fabric!!
What a great giftie set for a sewing sister.
You are in my blog feed now, so I’ll be seeing ya!
Very cool, I love the fabric. Wishing you a wonderful 2008!
Thanks for the great gift idea. I’ve been looking for something fun to make for my Mom when she gets home from her mission in Liberia. She will love it!!
I do LOVE your blog, and I’ve added you to my “daily reads”!
Thanks!

Brilliant! (Of course)
I look forward to your Etsy shop & wish you big sales for the new year.
My resolution? Just to have time to sew… anything!
Happy New Year! Xxx
I know who’s getting a toaster cosy next year!
Gorgeous choice of fabrics!! :D Wishing I had a crafty sister/relative that would sew for ME!!
