Dear Blog

Dear Blog,

I am sorry i have neglected you. I have been really busy sewing for everyone and have not had a chance to give you the proper love you need. :(
I promise as soon as i get caught up i will show you some love.

Be back soon with pics of what has kept me so busy these last few weeks

by the way...raise your hand or comment if any of my peeps still read..LOL

My machine has a name!

So i was thinking and thinking and thinking and hit hit me...DUH!!
my machine is a husqvarna viking...umm hello.... THOR!!

Thor is his name!

HEELLLLLLP!!!

So I have 4 sewing machines….technically one I retired to sew only on paper but she is still in fine shape. Anyway….all my machines have names….

Currently I have

Lucy, Ethel and Sergio….

My poor embroidery machine is feeling left out…

Any suggestions?

Psst!! Ima tell ya a secret

Noel is taking pre orders for her halloween kit.. so far 18 have been spoken for so I suggest if you want it you might want to snag it. I doubt by release day there will be any left. So if you want just email her at noel@noelmignon.com and get it... Just saying ;)

In other news and notes…Mason broke his freaking arm last Tuesday…yep he sure did. Grrr….. so it goes something like this….

He and Melana were pillow fighting and she whacked him one good time he lost his balance and fell on my big area rug and broke his arm… luckily for us and him it is not on a growth plate and he doesn’t have to have surgery…he is however in a cast…and by all means he had to have a “casttoo”. They are really cool but geez stickers are expensive when you say it’s a sticker for a cast….
Only in the Adams house can you pillow fight and break an arm on carpet..

You can check ‘em out if you want at www.casttoos.com


Let’s see what else…ahh very busy sewing… now I understand the whole supply and demand … lol

Be back this week with new scrap stuff, sewing stuff and bow holders...

New item in the shop or soon to be in the shop

Loading up the etsy shop.



This was a custom order for a girl i work with.

This one i made for a birthday gift. That fabric is the cutest freaking fabric...i want to make melana some pants out of it for some of her solid color shirts that she has in her closet....






These are prayer door hangers ....they are made out of the Swarvoski Pearls and crystals. Great Baby Shower gifts or gifts for the new mom. Even christening and baptism.




Coming soon bracelets for kids in their birthstone colors along with a bit of other things i have planned such as cute bow holders and much more! Stay tuned

and yet another Canvas

So this past week was the week long crop at Noel's and boy did we have fun.
My challenge was making yo yo's...yeah i know simple but believe it or not alot of people don't know how to make them...so that was the challenge and this is what i did...



It was a fun crop and can't wait to have another one.

Also I wanted to let you know that the fabulous Michele Kovak is going to teach a class on stamping techniques. Now if you are not familiar with her you are definitly missing out. You can check her out here.
You see I am not very good at stamping....nor card making...so this class is definitly for me because she is one of the BEST cardmakers around and i drool everytime i see soemthing she has done. I don't think it is fair for one person to have that much stamping talent...seriously....sometimes i want to just slap her...hehehehee...so if anyone is interested you can check it out here and get all the details. Hope to see you in class.

Lifting Tara Van Morsel

The challenge this go around was to lift Tara. She is an active member on the message board and one hellavah scrapper not to mention she is funny as hell.... I adore her to pieces and everything she does. However I am late with getting my layout. i got wrapped up in the crop we had and totally forgot. So i am working on my lift now. I'll come back and add it when it is done ;)

Kindergarten..sniff sniff!!

She started Kindergarten:

Aug 5 was the first day of school and she couldn’t be more excited. She picked out 1787675 gazillion outfits and kept changing her mind…she then settled that she would wear shorts and a cute top with her new Twinkle toes. Do you know the hell I went through for those Twinkle toes? Let’s just say I was exhausted because by all means those were the shoes she HAD to have or “her life would be ruined”. Deep Sigh!

Anyway…I drove her, she walked in, and I cried like a baby….just like I am doing now typing this. Why? She is still my baby..how has this happened so quick. Where is the time going? I am sad…very sad..on the flip side no more daycare bills. Woo to the Hoo!

She enjoyed her first day and all she talked about was going back…she is still on a school high. Every night we have to pick out what she is going to wear and matching accessories (ie: hairbows or ponies that match).

I am sad but I shall get over it.

Mason is has been a good big brother showing her the ropes of school..he even walks her to her class everyday...awwwww!!

Here are some pics from the first day and a few days after that.






and you see these shoes? These shoes were almost the death of me....Melana informed me that her "life would be ruined" if she didn't get these shoes...deep sigh!

Better yet...she talked me into some boot that come up to her knees as well... i told her no she could wait until it got cooler...she tells me then they will be sold out and she won't get her boots. So i get to the register and the lady tells me that the sale right now is buy one get one 1/2 off...melana looks at me and says all serious like...i guess i get my boots now then....{eyeroll} now what the hell does one say to that other than "melana go get the boots"..ahhhh the joys of raising a clothes and shoe horse...so we get in the car with the shoes...and she is happy as can be..wanting to know if she can wear her boots the first day of school...umm NOOO it is like 215 degrees outside and you have to wait until it gets cooler...this is her response..okay well can i wear them the second day? ummm nooooo {deep sigh} she wears me out...so instead she wears them around the house with her shorts and hannah montana dress (she is channeling her inner miley cyrus)


and of course mason had to have his chucks..in low this time around...

before i forget i wanted to tell everyone that I will be starting a hairbow's of the month club. It is a 3 month subscription. You will get 2 rocking bows a month.
