Bits and Pieces

 

Aloha!

It has been quite a busy last few months. I have been sewing quite a bit, but haven't been blogging much. Here are a few things I've been up to.

  I loved sewing this beautiful white dress for my daughter. I especially like the hand crocheted shell trim and the Italian carved buttons. 

   At Christmastime we did the storybook advent calendar. I was surprised to find that we actually had 25 Christmas and winter themed storybooks around the house.

  Our little lemon tree exploded with a bountiful harvest of super yellow lemons. It yielded 3 wheelbarrows full. Amazing. We had lemons coming out of our ears. We shared with any takers and then I concluded with squeezing by hand 30 cups of fresh lemon juice. That golden juice was frozen for a later time.

  This was a quick project for a birthday gift. A felt background with felt stitched hearts and self made bias tape trim. I think it turned out cute. We filled it with coloring books and such.

I have a small craft group that comes to visit twice a month and this was our first project. It was a lot of fun! You can find this project source over at Craft Passion.

  This was a hand sewn gift that my daughter helped me with for her friends birthday. It has a green and white gingham lining. Too cute. She picked out the colors and the items to fill the wristlet pouch. She also sewed a little softie to put inside the pocket.

  I am currently working on more projects and hope to be blogging regularly again soon. 

Nice to be back.

Aloha!
