Here in the Basement, there can never be too much fabric & ribbon or too many cute embroidery/applique' designs. There are so many talented digitizers out there. Many of them are SAHM/WAHMs (I want to be one of those!) and it feels great to support their businesses. What a win/win!...sales for them, adorable designs for me & my customers. The soccer ball and snail came from
Applique' Cafe. More cuteness using their designs coming soon!
My vacation week has been good. Made a quick trip to SC to see Mom. Nice visit. Of course, that always means a stop at Mary Jo's Fabric store...it's like fabric heaven! Wish I could have one yard of everything! I did an excellent job of containing myself and came out with just one
small big ass bag of fabric.
Durham Daughter is passing through this way tonight...we're off for a 'Mexican Date' and then we are 'dog sitting' for the rest of the weekend. She is visiting a high school buddy that is in Vet school in AL. I'm sure I don't want to know how much fun they will have!
Only one more day to get your name on the Giveaway list...don't forget to enter!
...different ways can you decorate a plain black tote? My guess is that the possibilities are endless, but here are four fabulous ones that I made today. And talk about affordable! just $22.00 for all that cuteness!!! This is a great gift for teachers, Moms, graduates, bridesmaids...YOU! We have several colors and lots of ribbon options. Get yours here. I also embroidered the blanket & child's tote...love the design & colors.
The Basement 'to do list' is very long. Here's what I made today...it hardly makes a dent in the list! Busy is good, right?!?! The Travel Set is for Leslie, winner of the Springtime Giveaway....I think she will love it. 
I want this. It's a clamp for the embroidery machine. I have the small one. Now I want the big one. I really want one, but I really do not want to pay for it. I know I will get it...just have to wrestle with myself first (that will include talking about it endlessly to my wonderful husband..poor Danny!) Why can't I be like other women and just want shoes or jewelry?
. He replied that Mama told him that we were coming this weekend and that he'd have to watch her/get her to write things down because she was beginning to get things confused. Low & behold! it's not Mama who's confused it's ME! I completely mixed up the dates...just like two weeks ago when I forgot about the promise to 'dog sit'...bless my heart, my brain is shot! At least the remembering part of it. So anyway, we flew down yesterday and enjoyed a short visit. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. I'll be playing catch up with orders the rest of the week, so hang tight if you are expecting a package...it's coming soon, pinkie swear!
