Just Call Me June

June.  As in Cleaver.  Ok, not really...but look what I've done in the past 24 hours:

any guesses what year this sewing machine is from?
it's old.
I don't even know how old.
take notice of the patterns I found inside.
this tells you how long it's been since someone used it.
but...yesterday, my sewing life began.
i had company.
my sewing machine is in "his" room.
lost my measuring tape for awhile...
but then he got sleepy.
it was way past his little bedtime.
you might be an alpha gam if...
you subconsciously choose red, buff, & green pins (& place them in that order).
 
ta da!...almost finished product.
still want to add a ruffle to go across the top (with the flower on top of that).
broke the sewing machine needle at 1:15 am when I was working on this, so the ruffle had to wait.
 
notice how the swirly button matches the swirly flowers in the black fabric :]
 
then...at 7:15 this morning I got up to make blueberry scones!
& enjoyed one for breakfast.
fruity breakfast + good book + beautiful apron = good start to my day.

flowers galore

So I have a list of ideas I keep favorited on my computer...


...& this is after I've gone through & deleted things that I've decided I'll never take the time to do.  I always see these great ideas on blogs & rarely get around to trying them.

But today was the day.  I adapted & combined several things to make some headbands & ponytail holders...& I'm quite pleased :)

It started because I just wanted something cute to wear for the 4th...but then I got on a roll & made several...& have more fabric waiting.  So, if you see me wearing headbands everyday from now until...forever, you'll know it's just the result of crafty blog overload & avoiding cleaning.
