It's in the bag

I have officially fallen in love with all things Amy Butler . She has beautiful fabrics ( including home deco weight), patterns and ideas.

Goodbye Aprons, hello TOTES!

I just ordered her "Birdie Sling" Pattern from Amazon.com and am really hoping it is as "easy" as the pattern states it is. No zippers...so it won't be too hard...I hope! Although I mastered the zipper on my Quiet Book, they still scare me. I will always select a pattern that has no zippers over one that requires them..Guess my early zippering experiences scarred me for life. I must have PTZD ( post traumatic zipper disorder). I am sure there are classes that could get me over my fear of sewing in zippers, but I'm not at that point in my sewing career yet. I can still avoid them..MOST of the time.

So, hopefully in a week or two, I'll be blogging photos of my Amy Butler tote!

Sewing rocks!

Oh and before I forget..Thank you to Nolan's mommy, Ashley for nominating my blog for an award. The award is for blogs that make you happy. I know mine isn't full of sunshine and puppies and rainbows, but I am very appreciative that my blog makes someone smile from time to time. Here are blogs that make me happy that I would like to nominate for the continuation of this award:
