More Fabric

Hi again! Just dropping in to share that the "official" Sew Lux site - Sewluxfabric.com - is now up and running. All our fabrics have been added and I am so excited! If you know anyone looking for fabric, please send them our way. :) We'll be adding more collections in the next few weeks :-)This fabric is from the Fandango line. It's pretty stuff and "fandango" is just fun to say :-)

Hope you are all having a great week :-)

Got Fabric?

Hi everyone! Been busy here takin' care of business. Literally! We just got our first bolts of fabric in today, so I've been adding them to our Etsy store. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will also have our stand alone site up and running. If you're looking for some beautiful fabric, check us out. We'll be adding more lines to our product offering over the next several weeks. :-)

Have a great week! :-)

Still Around and Updates

Hi everyone! I am still around! I've been pretty busy finishing orders for my business, getting ready to open my new venture with my mom and just all the rest of life ... work, laundry, etc. I have several crafty things that I need to share here and will start working on some posts for you ... so stop by again soon! :-)

In the meantime, I wanted to share a fun wall hanging that my mom made for the Sew Lux Etsy store.
I also wanted to share my new favorite website - Ebates. Let me tell you, I have saved a lot of money using this site ... they give you all the coupon codes and you get a portion of your purchase credited back to you. Yesterday, I used it to help me find slipcovers for our new-to-us couches and I got them nearly 50% off with free shipping plus 4% back! Check it out and give it a go - its super easy!

Baby Shower Decorating

Hi and happy Sunday! The weather has cooled down to the low 80s here - thank goodness! I am so over 90+ degree heat. :-)

I wanted to share one of my favorite projects from the baby shower I hosted a few weekends ago. I have been stitching letters on shirts for a long time now ... and I thought it would be fun to make a garland with a set of onesies. Here's how it turned out ...
I drew some letters and cut them out of brown polka dot fabric. I had an extra one and cut out a heart shape around an owl since we had an owl theme. I strung some grosgrain ribbon up and pinned them along. It was really cute. Unfortunately, it was rainy that day and I didn't have great light for the photos!

I also added these to the Sew Lux shop. :-)

That's all for now ... off to our favorite little Mexican restaurant. Yum!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friday & Another Quilt

Happy Friday, friends! :-) I am so glad its Friday ... been a long week. It is homecoming this week, so all the kids have been dressing crazy for spirit week and we had a pep rally at the end of the day today. All fun, but it made for an extra exhausting week. :-) I plan to stay holed up in my craft room for most of the weekend with some college football in the background. :-)

The quilt I shared yesterday sold today! Woo hoo! So, I thought I'd share another one that I made and we have listed in the shop. This one has got some lovely red, pink, brown and a little yellow in some girly prints - including some lady bugs and butterflies from the Flutterby collection by Tula Pink. A little bit of a modern twist on the pattern I used for this one.

I hope you are all having a great end of the week / start to the weekend! :-) I will share some baby shower decorating and projects for you this weekend. See ya soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Been awhile ...

Hiya! Been a little bit since my last post ... hosted a baby shower, graded a bagillion papers, been working on the last of the tshirts and finished a few quilts for the shop. Here's one of them ...
Those of you that love paper will recognize the fabric - its from Basic Grey's Sultry line. Love that BG and Moda have teamed up! :-) This quilt is for sale in the Sew Lux Etsy shop along with a few others that I got posted tonight! :-)

Back soon with more of all the projects I've been messing with! Thanks for stopping by!

Many Thanks

Hey y'all! Thanks for all the comments and encouragement on the new Sew Lux venture. I really appreciate it! :-)

Today, I've got another scrappy thank you card to share with you. I really like the colors in this one ... seems kind of beachy-like as far as the colors go. And I am having a good time making the 4-1/4" square cards again. I love this size because it still fits in a regular envelope. :-)I cut a square of the background paper and then added some scrap strips. I stamped the sentiment and added some rhinestones underneath to give it a little somethin' somethin'. Of course, some grosgrain ... my favorite type of ribbon. :-)

Hope you are all having a great week! I'll check in again with you soon ... Thanks for stopping by. :-)
