Status Update

There are projects that need to be completed. There are also projects that need to be began. The trick for me is to find the balance. Unfortunately the time will not be now. I have 2 totes to complete and 3 cosmetic cases to start. I am only being paid $20.00 a piece for the 3 of them.

I started a new project without finishing the last 2 I started. I kinda like this one. I don't think I will do a lot of embellishing on this one though.

I'm so tired. I feel like a child who needs guidance. I made a Bechamel sauce today. I have a friend at work from India who has never had Mac & Cheese. I wish I would cook more, create more, be more. But, I just don't feel like it.

I went to the farmer's market on saturday and forgot my camera.

Wassup With Your Home Girl

I have had some visitor's lately and it has given me much Joy. So I would like to give a shout out to Jude, mart bright, and clevelandgirlie. Thanks for showing me some luv.

I made this cosmetic pouch using the Indian applique technique from Jude's "What If Blog". But you may already know that. It's What If #91: Indian Style Patchwork. There is a photo diary over at Flickr.

I really like Jude a lot. She has given me a lot of inspiration.


So tonight I spent a good amount of time uploading images. I take pictures with my camera on the largest file setting that way I can use these images in any way I like. I then save them in a folder unchanged and I save smaller photos in a different account for posting on the internet. This is very time consuming but worth it in the end. Unfortunately I have a cat who thinks that I'm petting the computer so he sits right in front of the key board. Right now Olmo(that's his name) is listening to someone clean the bathroom. So he is sitting on the floor facing the door. He doesn't like the brushing sound yet he is still curious. I don't like making the brushing sound so I hardly ever clean.

Here's a pic of my creature:

I have some more pictures to share of the farmer's market that I will write about later but you can go to flickr now if you want. I won't get mad.

A New Day....

The post below reflected a low point for me. I have them from time to time. However, I do feel better now. Anywho...... here's a pretty pic for all you visual creatures.

What I'm Dealing With.....

There were some dark thoughts here but I have since deleted them. No one was reading this blog and then boom 3 people are and for me that's alot.

Here are some pics of what I have been doing over the last five days.

Indian Applique

Metropolitan Museum Of Art with my niece

I Got Loot Baby!

Behold, free fabric. This is fabric that was no longer needed. So it made it's way to me. I really like it a lot.

In the Works

I thought it would be nice to post some pics of what I've been working on.

Two tote bags. The turquoise one is going to be large. Both sides will be embroidered but, I've only posted one side. The top image is a detail shot.




This black and pink one is the first one I started. It has appliqued flowers in addition to the embroidery. I'm thinking of doing a tutorial because I think this is a cool thing to do. It also adds more body to a bag made with quilt weight fabric.


I filled in one of the flowers completely with embroidery stitches. It's my favorite little detail.

Tag...MTV Cribs Style

Well I've been tagged by neo sew mama. I hope I do this right

1. Post the rules before the pictures/descriptions.
2. Take a few shots of what's hiding in your fridge..freezer...pantry...cupboards. The more the better.
3. You can either simply just include the pictures or even better give some description of what's in there...your favorites...where you shop..how (or how not) it's organized...and/or whatever else you want to include. The more info the better...yes...I like details!
4. NO tidying up! If you want to turn around things so you can see the labels thats fine...but no re-arranging or cleaning things up. The whole point is to see things the way they actually are...naturally. If there is nothing in your fridge show that... Just keep it real!
5. Keep the tag going. Pick 7 other bloggers to join in on the fun and tag them by including their names after your post and by leaving a comment on their blog letting them know they have been tagged. I think it would also be great if you would let the person who tagged you know once you have posted your pictures.

Well there isn't much.

This is all I've got in the pantry.

In the fridge you will find bell peppers, cucumbers, and eggs. I had some broccoli but, I was cooking it as I took these pictures. I love food. I mostly eat out which is bad for my health, and my body. I'm really over weight right now by about 40 lbs. I eat the junk I buy right away.


This is what I have in the way of tea. Earl Grey, and Chai. Right now I have Cocoa Spice on hand. I like the Yogi brand. My other favorites are Red Bush, and Sweet Thai Delight.

I usually shop at Whole Foods. I love Pirates Booty cheese puffs. I also love I think the brand is Kettle Chips barbecue and Spicy Thai.

I'm going to tagging my home girl Lisa.
