Up, Up, and Away...

Up...
It's up! I have some dresses and a sweet vintage handbag up and I have even made my first sale! Yeah! I have a feeling that I sold the dress for less than I could have. But the buyer seems nice and I'm happy the dress is going to a good home. It has always been one of my favorites. Sadly, I was unable to go to A.Z.'s for the modeling session...A swollen mosquito bite on the toddler and a fussy baby made me rush home that night. But as chance would have it, I was talking with my cousin-in-law and she fit into the dresses perfectly!

Up...
I'm going to finish some adult hair accessories this weekend and get them up for sale, too. And maybe some baby bows just for fun ;-) I just find little girls in outrageously big pretty bows and flowers to be meltingly cute. Poor Kathryn Grace! She is in for a lifetime of dress-up! My only hope is that she is a girly girl like her mama (well, girly in that department).

And Away!
I am taking a sewing class and I am very very excited about it. I am taking at http://sewcraftyhouston.com/ . Sew Crafty Houston in the Heights is one of those stores that makes me want to be a better crafter just by how lovely it is. I had to go to the Heights today on unrelated business and I stopped to see where it was located. It reminded me of how much I like that little strip of Houston; it is lined with vintage and antique stores. Sigh. It would have been a lovely afternoon to linger there if I could have.

Do you sew? If so can anyone recommend a good machine for a novice?

  1. I sew! It is one of my favorite things to do! I have a Brother 900D Sewing/Embroidery Machine! It is an excellent sewing machine. I also have a serger. If you need any help let me know! I am just learning the embroidery part! Check out a couple of things I have embroidered on my blogspot ...
