Wow, we just had a stretch of really hot weather especially for in the mountains. Today was glorious and I seem to be heading in all directions at once trying to get some things done while the weather is nice. Looks like we have a couple days reprieve before we are hit with 90 degrees again.

I should have a whole set of new skirts to list soon and even a listing for youth sizes as well :-)

Have a Wonderful 4th of July weekend! ((hugs)) rosie

What would make you happy on your Birthday? I am going to sew all day! And maybe do some Etsy shopping …. I think I’d like this poster for my sewing room …

Plus what made my day was hearing back from a fabric designer who usually does not agree to allow commercial use of her fabric. She is giving me permission to use it for my skirts! As soon as all the details are worked out. I’ll show you the fabric! Exciting!!! Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

Which came first the gardener or the seamstress? Since I have my very earliest memories of doing each, I have no idea. I know my Momma used to pull me in a wagon while she weeded the vegetable garden ~ and I sat at her feet while she sewed on her Singer pulling a big old darning needle through fabric in a hoop.  So the two are entwined in me now and I can’t imagine a life where I didn’t do both!
