some "small project" sewing and "show and tell Tuesday"

              Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. John 14:1

I am missing sewing on my quilts! last year I started sewing more small projects to have that instant gratification of completing something in between quilts, I started getting small orders about 6 months ago and haven't worked on a quilt since them, but my focus is going to be my quilting this year after I get my craft room done but still wanted to share this apron and the zip pouch with the matching card holder. I LOOOOVE this Riley Blake Sidewalk line, I have done aprons, zip pouches, card holders and kitchen towels with this line and I still want to buy more!

 had to share my cute little labels, I bought them from MommieMadeIt on Etsy

I sew and sell so many projects with the coral chevron and especially if I add the aqua to it, love that combo together, I keep thinking I have had enough of it but then find myself reaching for it again!

back to blogging!

 geez, I think I blogged 3 times last year? well enough of that... I miss blogging, a lot! I miss looking at blogs along my sidebar, the past 6 months I have hardly looked at any blogs, and between my favorite blogs and Pinterest, I need both in my life ;)

so whats new, with you few readers of mine? I have missed you! fill me in! with me, lets see....we got another horse!!! his name is Moose, so I have 4 now! Zach is in his 2nd semester of his Sophomore year! where does time go!!! I had my little etsy shop, Blessings and Blossoms  but never got too serious with it because I started my Facebook business page, Blessings and Blossoms and because I have the BEST customers and friends, the FB page has kept me sewing like a mad woman the last 6 months! so now that it is January, I am slowing down (again!), revamping my craft room with new paint on the walls and purging/organizing! took Jane (my Bernina sewing machine) into the shop for a tune up, just in case and I have been making enough to start my ASL private lessons again! super excited and very nervous about doing it!  I learned so much about myself in  the past 6 months while sewing for others, I work well under pressure, I can do more than I think I can, I can and need to say no sometimes (very hard one for me!) and its okay to take chances and fail but I can also take chances and succeed! Hoping to scrapbook more, I miss it the most maybe? but also making my quilts, I have been doing so many small sewing projects but making my quilts are going to really be a priority in my life, I recently emailed a friend if she knew of any quilt alongs I could start and after I sent it to her I just laughed and thought "geez, why not finish at least one of the 4 quilts you have started!" I might still start a new quilt while working on another that I already started.

well I told a couple of friends that I would blog this week, well I did it! (yay me! lol) and it is just as fun as I remembered!  need to add a few new blogs I love also! hugs, everyone!
