Jonesing for Spring

Even though I live where it's relatively warm, I'm still beginning to be done with winter, and ready for SPRING!

What Mama Made Lately....

After several weeks of only sewing Swiffer pads as they sold, and having NO time to sew for ME and for fun, I got in the sewing cave the past two days! I'm in a bit of a pickle as of course I have WAY too much fabric. Yet I can't make more of certain items (beau beau bags for example) until the current ones start selling! Yet I keep buying fabric. (Ahem, see, SupplyaHolics) So I was happy to enjoy my Mardi Gras break by sewing!! One more day tomorrow, WITH the hubs home so I hope to get in there again!

Here's what I made lately:

Fabric covered bead bracelet :)

Fabric covered necklace:

My first attempts at box bags:

I totally messed up the direction of the print but now I'll know! :)

Thus ends what Mama made lately...

Artisans, Football and a Little Dare...

Earlier this week I posted a little 'taunt' on Artfire forums concerning last weeks Saints/Vikings football game. There was some friendly trash talking (as is customary in football) and MDavisDesigns took me up on a friendly wager....since she was pulling for the Vikings, if the Saint's won she'd change her avatar to a Saints avi, and if the Vikings won, I'd change mine to a Vikings pic!

Thankfully for me, the Saints won!! (BLACK AND GOLD SUPERBOWL!!!) Marian at MDavisDesigns has graciously changed her avatar to the adorable Drew Brees.

Since Marian was such a good sport about my Bayou Boys putting a hurting on ol' Favre, I thought I'd share one of her beautiful pieces!

There are some beautiful pieces in this shop and I encourage you to check them all out, maybe you'll find something beautiful to where while you watch the Saint's spank the Colts on Superbowl Sunday!
