Rain rain go away...

Stuck inside today...only left to get veggies and coffee at market. The coffee must have worked its magic though, I was hard at work all day.

New dress (I love this fabric)
New summer blouse...

Then I decided to make coasters out of old cd cases I found in my desk drawer...

But by opening them up, I decided to consider it artwork!

The images are from very old greeting cards that you can find at pretty much any flea market....this project was so simple, c'mon give it a try!

Pretty Little French Girl

My dear friend Gabby is celebrating her birthday today! I made her a dress that is just perfect for her...she told me she'll be wearing it in France during her upcoming trip - SewNasty goes to France? Sounds good to me haha.

Workin' Girl

Got to work today and have done some of my best sewing. It's about time, since I just got my car inspected and it turns out my car that ran just fine in my opinion had almost $700 worth of work to be done. I decided that I wish it were like the dentist and if you didn't want a filling for your cavity (work done to your car) then you could say no thanks dentist (mr. inspector). It's just too bad it doesn't work that way...

So in that case - cool stuff going up in my shop to pay for my brake drums (did you know brakes had drums?)

New Items!

New items in my shop now!


and more....check it out!

Just Dandy

Things have been good "down on the farm". We've successfully moved in and have begun making it our home. This house brings out a new kind of happiness...it's amazing.

I've been practicing my sharpshooting...
Having lots of friends over for food and drinks and nights on the porch....And spending lots of time decorating and organizing and cleaning (all of which is enjoyable somehow). Dalanna put candles in mason jars on our porch last night and we drank mojitos with fresh mint from her garden and it was lovely.

Now as for the craft related portion of this post....
Here's my sewing nook! I'll return soon with some new items I've been working on, but it's too beautiful out to spend another second updating my blog.

We've Been Moving...

Farmhouse here we come...

Some time off

I finally had a day off to catch up on Gossip Girl episodes and lay in bed reading blogs. Luckily, my friend Monica just created two of her own that are definitely worth checking out. Later on today I will probably be going home to learn an old family cooking tradition. We'll be making capaletti's (which I have no idea how to spell or make) but maybe after tonight I'll know one of the two.

I should be finishing up two projects as well today, but like I said - I'm relaxing. I deserve it! I've been working like crazy at my "real" jobs and have had almost zero time to myself lately. But there is some good news in the mix of all this....I'm moving! Into a historically preserved farmhouse that is enormous and full of little alice in wonderland doorwarys and oh my gosh it's beautiful.

As for now...I'm going to look at carpets online.
