Blocking out the cold!

Wayne and I worked on this project together. He cut the insulation board for the 2 trapezoid windows and I wrapped the material around them. It really looks pretty good and you can't beat the price as we only needed to buy 1 board which costs $10 and I had all of the material. The boards just sit in the window sill, so for now we will be saving the cold from coming in and in the heat of summer, the sun was blinding us.

More sewing projects!

The woman who adopted my brother's cat had this sweet angel at her house and I told her that she needed some hair and that I would fix her. So I brought her home and gave her some cute braids, a little make-up and added some ribbons and lace to her outfit. I'm sure that Charlotte will be pleased. The second photo shows the angel before her make-over!

Here is another sewing project that my friend Jennifer gave to me. I added the black fake fur onto this jacket/sweatshirt. She was very happy when she saw the finished product.

My recent sewing projects

Now that I am retired (I can hardly believe it)! I am enjoying so many new and exciting things and also spending time on things that I have always loved to do. One of my loves is to sew and I am trying to re-cycle a lot of the things that I sew, for example - I made cute yoga mat bags that I made from old denim jeans.

Here is a sewing project that I did for a friend of mine. She wanted the large collar taken off of this coat. On the left is the jacket with the collar removed and the right shows the original coat. I redesigned 2 of her coats this way.
