You Go Girl!

A Place for Jezebel

Did you know I have a serger? I don't think I've ever mentioned it before. It is not new. In fact, I've had it for 15+ years. It has spent most of its life in a bin on a shelf in my basement. Yep. On the shelf. Sad, but true. You see, when the Bernina Bernette Fun Lock 006d and I met all those years ago, we did not have instant chemistry. In fact, we were a lot like oil and water. I thought she was impossible. She knew I was an idiot. I named her Jezebel. She held her tongue. Well, I recently dusted off Jezebel. I gently oiled her, threaded her, and adjusted her tension knobs. She was right. I am an idiot. She works like a dream. I knew immediately that she deserved a spot of her own in my teeny-tiny studio. After several considerations, some simple, some not, I decided the easiest way to put Jezzie in my studio would be to give her the spot on my supply table. That meant my supplies and all the books I stored under the table needed a new home. 

Tah-Dah...my new supply shelves.

 

I bought an inexpensive shelf at Target that I didn't really like. A little LOT of paint and some fabric did the trick. All is well. Jezzie is happy. So am I. (***sighing contentedly***)

 

Food. How I Love You...

Edit: I am rewriting and moving this post that I wrote a few days ago to see if it will show up in reader. How I wish I was a computer genius, or married to one! :-)

I haven't had the words to blog lately because all the words that flow from my grey matter to my mouth are about food. A diet will do that to you! Since this isn't a blog about food that whispers your name, tempts your palate, wafts through your olfactory system in your imagination during your waking hours, and dances through your dreams while you sleep, I've had nothing to write about. This preoccupation with food hasn't kept me from crafty endeavors, though.  I've been in the studio stitching up felt cupcakes and wistfully making purses out of candy wrappers from days gone by. Just kidding. Actually, I've been busy drafting the perfect clutch pattern, assembling and painting a shelf to contain my ever-growing collection of odds and ends in my sewing space, stitching up a few Posh Pillowcases, and making this little honey pie out of some Little Red fabric designed by Tasha at A Little Sweetness.

 

I was going to make a little polka-dottie diaper cover to go with the dress. Since autumn is knocking on the door, I opted for some snazzy jeans instead. I hope sweet little Amy Lynn likes her new clothes. Congratulations to her mom and dad, Erin and Corbin.

Well, I better go run a lap around the neighborhood, or something. Only five pounds to go. Would it be wrong to celebrate by gorging myself at the The Pearl once I reach my goal? Probably.

Technical Difficulties

Edit: This post seems to have made it to Reader. Thanks so much for letting me know, friends. The one I posted three or four days ago, but rewrote and posted yesterday, still hasn't made it. Argggg! Have a lovely weekend. ~Cassie

Is this post showing up in your reader? My last post never made an appearance on google reader. Not that I read my own posts. I just want to make sure this gig is running smoothly. Oh, technical difficulties. They give me a headache. Give me a shout out if you are getting my posts in your reader. Thanks much.
