busy, busy

Sewing away for craft fairs.

First fair of the season was yesterday and I did ok considering there were flash flood warnings all weekend! I was seriously thinking of just showing up to get my deposit and going home.

But it ended up being a nice day (with a few bouts of rain sprinkled in). Total miracle! It poured rain the entire day at our house!

I did add some of the goodies I've been working on to the shop tonight:

My to-do list is pretty long this week too! But I'll be sure to check back in here soon!

Sewing Tales to Stitch and Love

I am so excited to be a part of the blog hop for Kerry's book, Sewing Tales to Stitch and Love.

This book is so sweet (just like the author) and it was so fun trying to decide which project to make first!

**I totally stole a couple pics off Kerry's website :-)

I have loved getting to know Kerry through this book hop - she is the sweetest!

And we got the BEST goodie box ever from all these amazing sponsors:

Fiskars, Dritz, Fairfield, Bosal and Free Spirit

Thanks so much to all the sponsors!

They sure came in handy too! I think I used every single item (except the fabric - which I saved to give away to one of you) while making my project.

OK so on to the project I chose.

I just HAD to choose Casco the Dolphin. I mean, I live in Hawaii...how could I not?!

Dolphin in Hawaiian is Nai'a - that sounds like such a pretty name for this mama and her baby.

And oh my goodness....they turned out so cute! I love them!!

We went down to the beach for a little photo shoot.....

Kerry did such a great job with this book - my daughter has picked out a few projects she wants me to sew  for her. I love how much imagination went in to each project and how much kids will be able to use their imagination when they play with these lovely toys too.

Now...for your chance to win 4 FQ's of Heather Bailey's new Lottie Da fabric, go check out Kerry's book on Amazon or her blog and let me know your favorite project from the book.

I'll pick a winner on Friday! Good luck! Comments are now closed!
