...my head is spinning...

so many new ideas my head is spinning. let's just say i sat at the machine so much today that i broke my last needle. so spent the rest of my time cutting and preparing for when i have that new package of needles! :)

"reuseable snack baggies" - fashioned like the 'flap top' baggies. perfect for dry snacks ... nuts, dried fruit, cookies, cherrios, candy treats ... also great for organize your bag or anywhere for that matter! i think (and hope) they will be a hit at this weekends des moines market day!!!

then, owls...who doesn't love owls???

big owls, little owls...they're all so adorable!

then our afternoon was finished with hay baling! usually done on the hottest day of the summer. not today! it was a beautiful afternoon. now we have lots of good winter feed for the 3 calves that reside in our barn!

...fabric scraps...

***new item***

i have all these fabric scraps...what to do with them? so i sat in my work studio & came up with these super adorable fabric rosettes. attached 3 together and added a large pinback and 'voila'! darling added to a scraf, fall sweater or jacket or the front of a pillow! these will be available at the next des moines market day on august 28th! moral of the story...never, never throw anything away! it has the opportunity to be something beautiful!
