Stick a fork in 'er

Cuz she is done!!!

AFTER

Finally, my couch is done. I know I said I wanted to have it done by the end of February, but darn it, February was a short month, and I got sort of side tracked by another project that I will share at the end of this post. Anyway, I have had my sewing machine for almost a year, and now it has finally been broken in. I am really pleased with the way the couch turned out. As long as no one inspects it too close then it's all good. I mean, how many of us go to sit on someones couch and start looking at the stitching and such? I take that back. When you know the couch has been reupholstered, then you totally start studying it! (I did when I went and sat on Heather's reupholstered couch! It looks great though!) I learned a lot from this project... including what a pain zippers can be! I was going to recruit some sewing masters help, but decided I would get much more out of it if I did it on my own. I did get lots of info from the sewing master though. Thanks Lisa!

So, now I am on a sewing spree! I love it! Primarily because of this other project that I just recently finished. (The one that distracted me from getting my couch done sooner) I made this skirt for Scotlyn!
Isn't it adorable! My friend Angie made one for her daughter, and said she would show me how to do it. We actually got a group of gals together and we all decided to make these skirts for our little girls. Everyone chose different colors. I might have to do another one in pink or something!
This was so fun to make! Especially doing it with a great group of friends. Some of whom had never sewn before, just like me! I love all the ruffles! I want to start putting ruffles on everything!
I have started working on another skirt for Ms. Scotlyn! As soon as all the other gals get their skirts done, we are going to work on some cute little dresses for the girls! I can't wait!!!

Are you a Bachelor fan?

A couple of us true die-hard Bachelor fans got together Monday night to watch the season finale! Will he pick Vienna or Tenley?

Here we are posing for the camera. Now that I think about it, we should have all come dressed in cocktail dresses! However, I did spend most of my time sitting on the floor next to all the delicious goodies, so maybe it is better we went casual.
Vienna sausages! You gotta love it!
Tenley-or dip. (ten layer dip)
Since Jake the Bachelor is a pilot, you must have airplane food! Peanuts and Pretzels!
Fantasy Sweets... delicious brownies and cupcakes! Mmmmmm!
Here is a display of the food! You can see the martini glasses on the side for "cocktail hour"!
Here I am with the Hostess with the Mostess, and three of her kiddos. Gotta give her big smooches for all her hard work! Thanks Lisa!

And thanks Amy for the pics!
