And I hope my Mom is reading this post! I have been doing quite a bit of sewing lately - all on the sewing machine she gave me a few years ago. I have been buying little pretty bits of fabric and I'm having fun coming up with things to make with them. Now - I'm not a very talented sewer - but I sure do enjoy it. Here's a pillow cover that I made.

And here's a little lined tote bag. I am so proud of myself because I never made anything that was lined before!

And now I'm off to post some new creations on my Etsy site Trinkets - hand-painted button hairpins. Aren't they funky?

your tiny strawberries are too cute and look at your daughter's hair! like an old baby shampoo commercial (remember those)?

i LOVE the button hair clips!! i'd wear one:)
Yes, Laurie - your Mom IS reading this. I'm proud of you. And you know, I certainly have lots of cute buttons, trim, and small pieces of fabric that you can have. The more sewing you do - the easier it gets. I think the button clips are pretty too.
Careful...you can get addicted to sewing!...and to strawberries too!
Your sewing looks great to me !Thanks now I'm off looking for strawberries .
Hey Laurie!
I'm glad you liked my slide show. It has a personality disorder.
I love looking at your blog. The colors make me HAPPY! NIce work on the pillows and tote. Very cute.
Amazing woodpecker. I only see the small guys in my yard and I'm always hoping I'll see a big one. Lucky Duck!
Thanks for stopping by my blog Laurie, yes we have to stick together! What a great job on your pillow and tote, and love all your little trinkets! That picture of the woodpecker is fantastic!
Thanks for stopping by:) Actually I am supposed to leave 1000 comments on other blogs, so I am not sure why the button says leave me comments. But, I like them anyway:)
I love your button hairclips...so cute. I am crazy about buttons. Use them in my scrapping:) Wish I could sew...maybe someday:)
How lucky that you have wild strawberries!!
Hello I have only just found your site my friend cottonreel told me about you, she knows I am crazy about buttons and I have ordered some from your etsy shop. I will visit again soon.
Laurie, hi!!! I love your blog! Thanks so much for stopping by my place! Let's keep in touch! :)

Such super-cute stuff!!!! The colors are all so bright and cheery and they make you want to look!! Thanks as always for your uplifting comments over at my place! :)
cheers,
michele
Strawberries-yum! I have 2 pots on the deck with strawberries planted but I think a chipmunk is beating me to them! Everytime I think they're almost ready to pick-they disappear. Hmmmm. Your buttons are the cutest. I'm loving my button bracelet-now that summer is here with all of the sherbet colors, I'm wearing it a lot and getting raves!!!! Have a Happy 4th! We'll be on Long Island with our son and his wife. xoxo
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Nice to meet you.
I love your little birds! I will be back to get one for a friend. They are DARLING! As for sewing you are an inspiration. I have a vintage working singer featherweight in my garage that needs to be used I will get it out and have some fun! Thanks, Kim
I love strawberries too! Lucky you to enjoy them without all the work of planting them. Your sewing is so nice and I love the hair pins. I have to go check out your store.
