Another Coat for Holly

Hello Everyone,

I completed another coat for Holly, since its still cold up here. She is so good about wearing the coats I make her. I used See and Sew #B5275 again, it was used on this coat.

We are patiently waiting for the warmer weather. We did have a few warm days and flowers and trees are already in bloom.

I am linking up with these parties and TCB.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Vinyl Amp Cover

Hello Everyone,

Here is another another amp cover I made for E. This time he chose black vinyl. We did the design differently and I still have a little tweeking to do. It is a little bit different than the first amp cover and he loves it. I got E some Fender patches as a stocking stuffer this past Christmas and sewed them on. The good news is that when E went to band rehearsal the other night, he said all the guys loved it.

I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Liebster Award!

Katie over at Little Becky Homecky was sweet enough to award me the Liebster Blog Award!! She is an amazing blogger and has amazing blog and tutorials. Thank you so much Katie!!

Now what is the Liebster Blog Award?  Liebster is German and means 'dearest' or 'beloved', but it can also mean 'favorite'. The idea behind the Liebster Award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers.  If you are selected, you need to:

2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. List the bloggers you are giving this award to with links to their sites.
5. Best of all, have fun and share the love!

So, in accordance with the "Rules", here are my five blog choices, in no particular order:

• Karen @ Little Red House Designs

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hello Everyone,

E surprised me with a wonderful gift for Valentine's Day. Its the Singer 160 Anniversary Edition Sewing Machine. I love how it has a beautiful retro black finish with goldtone filigree. It also features the original "bird in flight" design featured on many Singer machines more than a century ago. I love all the stitches, presser feet and there is a flower stitch and fringe attachment, a beautiful and durable carrying bag and a lot more goodies.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentine's Day with their sweeties.

Have a wonderful evening!!
