Needles and bruises!!

Why is it that every time they try to take blood or put an IV in that they end up having to poke me over and over again. I am NOT a human pin cushion. I now have a HUGE black bruise around my wrist, thumb and up both my arms. I look like a drug user. 3 needles and 4 IV's is not my idea of a good time. OK I am done venting now.....Well maybe.......

Etsy store is now a go!!!

Check it out. http://www.etsy.com/
Look under seller "coffeeshawna"  I know!!! The name.... What can I say.....

Here is one of the aprons I have created. It is one of the newer ones I have made. I love the embroidery on it and the ties on the back of the apron are so pretty. I made the ties out of a Tommy Hilfiger shirt I had that shrunk in the wash, so it went into the "sewing" pile to be transformed into something new.........

Here is the kitchen towel I made to go with it. I just took some of the extra material I had leftover from the apron and made roses to go on it as well as the embroidered flower.

Sorry about the bad picture!!

  I love this apron. There is nothing better to me then eylett lace material. It makes me feel like I am in the Victorian era. Or the 40's....take your pick.

Here is the kitchen towel that goes with the set.

Another apron with a halter top.

And you have to have the matching kitchen towel right. This one is made to hang off the stove. 

Ok I am off to bed. Caleb is sick again with his allergies, like always. Poor kid. Keep praying for him....

Finally some pictures!!!

 Ok, so I have finally figured out how to get the pictures the way I want them. What a pain. Well here are some of the reusable snack and sandwich bags I have made. I love them because you just rinse or wipe them out if needed. They are very sturdy and PRETTY if I don't say so!!! I have all kinds of new oilcloth and laminated fabric so I will have new designs soon.

                                                                                       These make me so happy. I will be posting these for sale on the Etsy site  this week. Tell your friends.

Here is one of the snack bags. It has a squared off

 bottom so that it holds more, like yummy popcorn!!

Sandwich Bag.

The back of the sandwich bag is as pretty as the front. 

The inside of each bag is lined as well for easy cleaning.

Well, tell me what you think? I will do my next post on some of the aprons I have made. Mary Beth is about to clean me out of aprons. She has been giving them as teacher gifts. She is making a huge order of things for Christmas gifts as well. Fun stuff!!!

McDonalds AGAIN!!!!

Why is it that we mothers live at McDonalds with our children? I think it would be much easier if I did not LOVE McDonalds as much as they do. I even come here when not with the kids. Pathetic, I know....

So The house is going on the market today. Just be praying for us that it will be done soon so we can get Caleb out of this poisoness State and somewhere more healthy for us all.

After McDonalds it is off to to Rite Aid for more meds. I am just a walking advertisement for McDonalds and the drug companies. I should get them to sponsor the Blog sometime......

Until next time....

Sewing up a storm!!

I have been sewing up a storm today. I have 4 more apron's done and it is only 6:30pm. I can whip out a few more things before I crash. I can't wait to start showcasing the things I have made on Etsy. I sent a bunch of the things I made to my Mom for the silent auction they had today for My cousin Lea anna to help cover some of her hospital bills. She still has a long way to go but she has come so far and is doing great. God is good. I will try to post pictures later on tonight of the things I have made so far!!

My first post ever!!

Well I have done it. I have created my own blog and am getting ready to start my Etsy site. I am so excited and nervous to see how this whole blog world works. I LOVE to read blogs but to have my own is a little crazy. Wish me luck as I start this new journey.....
