A early bday gift to myself :-)

For the longest time now i've been wanting a die cut and embossing machine, So yesterday I decided to buy myself a early birthday gift. After browsing in a few stores I decided to look online to see if I could find a better deal. Within a few minutes I found a pretty good deal on HSN.com for a cuddlebug embossing and die cut machine.  After watching a handful of you tube videos and seeing the many cuddlebug creations I really can't wait for it to get here! Once it gets here i'll post pictures and show a few creations of my very own. :}

where to start

I'm sitting here filled with inspiration yet have no idea where to start! I have almost every tool I could possibly need and and I'm drawing a blank. should I sketch a design? Should I just pull out the sewing machine and just start sewing? should i try to work on a scrapbook page? what to do!!!! what to do!!!!!

My first post ever! =)

                                             This was my first sewing project


These are two pillows I made for my boyfriend as his valentines day gift. Since he is very much into music I decided to make him two throw pillows for his bed. I used some velvet fabric which I got from his lovely grandmother Connie and I hand stitched the two music symbols using embroidery thread and a embroidery needle. I also used some kind of thick fabric, which lined the inside of the pillow so it would keep its form. I wasn't sure what i was doing at first and there was alot of trial and error but I think they came out ok.
