Simple Small Hobo Winner and Other Things

I’m logging off the computer for the night so that means it’s time to draw the winner for the Simple Small Hobo Giveaway. The lucky comment is number 10, so that means Shalet of Peculiar Momma is our winner. I’ll send you an email now. : )

Thanks to everyone for participating! It was interesting to see which items in my shop catch people’s fancy.

Today was a busy day around here. We had a bit of an Indian Summer and my father and a friend took advantage of the weather to cook a brisket over the fire pit as well as make up a batch of apple butter. I myself enjoyed the weather by going for a short hike with the twin, hence the photos.

Also worked on a new tutorial to share with you. So stay tuned. I’m thinking it’ll be up tomorrow.

My Place & Yours : Secret Weapon

I’ve decided to play along in My Place & Yours over at Meet Me at Mikes.
The theme this week is “Secret Weapon.”

My first thought was my stash or scrap box because all I have to do is dig one out and start playing around with the fabrics and I’m dreaming up new ideas. But then I realized, maybe my real Secret Weapon is my Music. I never sew in silence. Whether the tunes are streaming out of my laptop and filling the room or pouring into my ears via headphones, drowning everything else out, they are always present and keeping me going. It’s like fuel to the fire.
I’m currently obsessed with Sarah Jaffe.
(PS: There is still time to enter the Simple Small Hobo Giveaway here on my blog. Comments close later tonight, EST and I’ll announce the winner!)
Hope your weekend is going splendidly.
