Memorial Weekend Report

I had a big sewing to-do list that I was going to try and get through... but, as we all know: We make plans, and God laughs, LOL!

We had family in town, had great BBQ with Meyer's Sausage (made here in Elgin, Texas), swapped family stories, and had a fun, family weekend.  It was hard to see family go back home.  I feel very blessed to have my Mom and Dad so close by.

As far as sewing goes:
1)  I got my next set of diapers and towels prepped (run through the wash and dryer) and ready to finish.
2)  I continued work on my Pennant Banner for the Spunky Diva craft fair booth.
3)  Finished up a special order for a bath and hand towel set incorporating a flaming skull (a design picture will be posted soon).
4)  Completed a special order for a matching hand and kitchen towel set for a seaside theme make-over. 
So, I got several items off that to-do list!



I also made several fabric and elastic bracelets for both myself and family members.  These are so much fun to wear!  I will have several available at the next craft fair.  They are based on this tutorial for Fabric Bracelets, but with a "few" changes to the basic recipe, LOL!  I will be posting a tutorial on the way I made these bracelets tomorrow (Wed, 6/2/2010) so stay posted!

Pretty in Pink and Some Sparkles too!

A hat for my oldest in ballet pink (red heart yarn she picked) with some silver beads.  No pattern, and ended up running elastic thread through a couple rows to make it more secure on her head for now, until she grows into it some more. Matches a shoulder shrug knitted for her during her year of ballet lessons.

Add a ‘click-able’ signature to comments you make.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best .  Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland.  Most of them I had heard of before.  But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable.  You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work.  Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.  I added the above code to my Notepad page, edited it with my information, and saved it.  Now all I
