May fo Me Day #3 Babies R Us

   NEED I SAY MORE...

I so kid you not Jorge finished up with May for Me at about 4pm and we had a quick dinner that was just your basic American Franks. And look - this is just too classic even for Jorge!!

So today's theme for Jorge was Bib's.. (now you get the whole picture above)!! Very easy project but still one Jorge has never done and so here is what he did...

He found the pattern out and instead of printing it out he took his ruler out and did his measurements and then drew it out. He used my Tupperware ( www.tupperware.com ) container to do the inside circle and off he went to start his Day #3 project.

Today he really didn't have a lot of room to work with because I had all of my custom orders I was packing up and getting ready to ship. So thankfully bibs don't require a whole lot of room as you can see.

We really need to get inventory in our Christmas store really bad and so Jorge decided to use up our Christmas fabric. www.etsy.com/shop/christmas101 and so now we'll have these super cute bibs to put up for sale.

I should of gotten closer but if you click the picture you can count all the pins - I think he's pin crazy but what do I know about sewing - NOT MUCH... But I do know how to sew!! I would rather knit/crochet and leave the machine for him!!

I really - really like this fabric - super cute and hope it sells... By the second bib he was just moving along a lot quicker. He says tomorrow even though it's my May for Me he's going to sew up a bunch more for our main store www.etsy.com/shop/mrscraftyrving

And here you go... Now we sure need to make an Adult size one just for Jorge!!

** TIP ** 

Get one of these if you don't already have one.

Jorge uses this every time he sews

 - this is Rotary Blade Sharpener which he bought his at www.joann.com for under $20.00

Earflap kind of Day

Little by little I am getting a little more brave with trying new things - like crocheting. Today I decided to try to learn how to do earflaps. A customer a ways back offered me a contract to crochet them for her and I turned her down because I didn't know how to make these super cute hats. I turned down money. And that was a big mistake.

But that has so changed now. And the funny thing is - I learned on the first try. Oh my friend Sue sat on my shoulder the whole time whispering "oh you got it girl - remember how hard you thought the granny square was?" And then on the other shoulder whispering was GrandMum saying "I can't believe my eyes" lol.... So crazy but it's one of two things in life I am very insecure about (crocheting/knitting and my weight  - I know some of my friends are rolling their eyes says "As If" but it is what is...). So it takes me a long time to build up courage to try anything new in the yarn world. And today was one of those days...

And I am pretty happy with the outcome. I have this deal on etsy in regards to one of my customers that whenever I come up with something new she is to see it first. And sure enough within 30 minutes of posting she bought it and emailed me asking for more. Jorge will tell you I get very emotional when blessings like that hit MY door. I will start making some more Wednesday - tomorrow I have to start the cocoon order... So here is my pics of the items I made today....

Tonight's etsy feature is something I choose because of what Jorge said about the brown hat (it's sold already sorry - but email me for details or visit http://www.etsy.com/shop/hatmasters ) that he says looks like a pilot hat and wants me to make him one - bigger of course. And some of you may not know this but Jorge is a pilot. So this feature is because of Jorge **thanks honey I love you**
