Denim challenge

The last 2 days I have broken 5 needles in my sewing machine grrr arghhh why-maybe rushing –maybe denim fabric –maybe I don’t know…but soo frustrating but I kept at it as I wanted to finish a project..and I did

 

Bag front and bag back..with some appliqué hearts and a snazzy red belt….And what a funny size you may just be saying but ahuh this bag has a special purpose…This bag is to hold other bags yep you got it..like them green monsters that come shopping with me and other totes that house the groceries till they get home,

And here it is packed neatly  okay stuffed with bags…

Oh and guess what?..The reason the needles were breaking is because I had not set the machine back to straight stitch after doing the blanket stitch on the appliqué, here's betting I won’t make that mistake again..This is me done for the denim challenge thanks Jenny for inspiring me to use them jeans they will haunt me no more.

Spice Jars

Due to food allergies I have gone back too the old fashioned way  more natural way of cooking food instead of buying premix packages of wot not, I am using herbs and spices –fresh when I can.

Anyways today I was going thru my jars of spice in the spice rack and man I was straining my eyes really hard to see the use by dates, holy some of them expired in 2006 anyways I decided I would empty the contents after I could decipher the use by date as gone and rinse them out and reuse them as I had seen Jenny do awhile ago on her blog.

So there they were all lined up in the drainer when dushdang I noticed an embossed use by date on the bottom of the jar…arghh that was a heck of a lot easier to read then the printed one on the jar surface..

So that’s my interesting day…

Denim-OPAM-Foot

Once again Jenny has given me the inspiration to get something done…you see these

Well they have been hanging around in my sewing room for umm lets just say a while every now and then they would get in my way scream at me “my turn-me next” , but alas they were just relocated yet once again…
Well Miss Jenny’s challenge for June is to make item/s with denim, so yeah yipee I’m inspired to cut and sew..

Moving away from the denim for a minute

OPAM Challenge=one project a month.

Oh soo was doing the happy jig in my mind (cause the foot was a tad to tender to be jumping around)the other day when I found out I was one of the winners for May OPAM challenge run by Peg & Kris , thank you so much girls for inspiring us all to finish off projects.

Foot update-thank you a million to you all for the well wishes.

Have had the stitches removed from my foot, which is enabling me to put more pressure on the sole (which is what the Dr told me to try and do).Pain is minimal unless I over do it, and I just have like a stinging pain where the sutures were –so I guess it’s just the tissue mending itself.

Look I’m back again-but you didn’t miss me as you didn’t know I’d been gone…

Looky what I made yeah hoorah for me I sewed…

      a thread / wee scrap catcher, we will ignore hubby’s comment that a bucket would be a better size…The appliqués were pre done shapes that I received in a swap and I knew they would fit great on this project.. and all I had to do was iron them on.

I got a bit umm fussy one might say and had to line it as it just didn’t seem complete..My other denim projects are rolling around in my head and will sewn real soon I feel.

April RAK

To say that Doris was happy with her gift is an understatement.

As Doris is not a sewer I could not very well send her fabric or a pattern so i made her a bag to carry her crocheting in. Pop on over to here and read the post and see more lovely pics of the bag.
