Holding Back

i <3 fall.
i love the colors and the weather and the
festivals (wine and non ;) we had a few
fall mornings a week ago and ever since i have
been raring to cut loose with the fall decor
around the house. i am trying to hold back
until the 23rd, which is the 1st day of fall.

i also really love these s&p shakers. they were a
bday gift last year.they are for my fall table. :)
i have already broken out the pumpkin spice candles,
so it may still be in the 80's some days, but my house
smells like fall. i have also made (or at least working on it)
a new pattern with some yummy fall colors. i think i'm
actually doing this one in solids!! *gasp* i know. i think i
may even use Bella solids! *larger gasp* i buy high rent
focal prints....and tend to hit up the bargain bin with a coupon
for the filler prints/solids.....so this is a big step!
"That's a lot of money for just one color"-Sheldon from
Big Bang Theory. lol. (P.S. Season 4 Drops Tuesday, and
we pre-ordered it....and it shipped out yesterday!!!!! when
it arrives, there will be NO sewing, sketching in the house that day.)

Anyone else decorate for fall? what are your fall
traditions?

I'm back, baby!

 :) can i getta 'Woot Woot'. Sure, playing gamecube was
great, but i am glad to be back in my sewing room.
I went to a sewing class last week with a friend and
i figured since i was going to be 'teaching' this fall i should
invest in a carrying case. and you know me, i am anything
but normal, sew i had to pimp it out a little.
This is when my day job comes in handy ;)

i designed this pattern and cut it out of vinyl
(lime green of course). It doesn't really stick all
that well, sew i couldn't turn the corners. i coulda used
a different material.....but that would been $$.
It will just make me be more careful, which is good
for the life of the case, and the machine inside of it :)

and what did i sew in class you ask?

a zipper bag! the whole thing is made out of one
incredibly long zipper. now, its way too small for
me to actually carry, i mean, this thing could barely
hold my sunglasses case, lol, but it was sew much
fun to make! and to hang with my gurl, T.

here it is unzipped:

no, that's not a green snake.  its my purse!
the pattern is from the booklet Zip and carry bags.
really neat things in there!! i am gonna make a small one
for my BFF.

Hope you guys are doing well and
having a great Labor day weekend!!!

anyone working on anything this long weekend?
or just cooking out and watching football? :)
