I Won Another Giveaway!

This is what arrived in the mail this week!  I won this beautiful organizer in giveaway over at Sew-Fantastic in January.  I helped to name this new item Terri makes called the Mini-Shopper.  The prize was a Mini-Shopper in the colors of my choice.

Isn't it cute?                          

Here is the inside...a pocket for coupons and credit cards, a slot for a pen, and another pocket for holding a pad of paper for your shopping list.

Here is the back with an additional pocket for more coupons or the check book!  Love it!







I have to tell you that this is definitely going to get a workout.  Thanks Terri!

Leanna's Pillowcase

We have great neighbors where I live.  The family to the northeast of us is no exception.  They have been so kind to us and are always there for us.   They have nine children.  One way we show appreciation to this family is to remember their birthdays.  This year it will be custom pillowcases in each person's favorite color.  This will be is a challenge for me as I am a lover of printed fabric and the family is Amish.  So I must use solid fabrics.

First up is Leanna.  She is going to be 9.  The first time the family paid us a visit when we moved into the neighborhood, the children all sat quietly as the adults talked...except Leanna.  Leanna had to make several trips to our bathroom, and it was mostly so she could check out our house.  Her mother was on to her and was a bit embarrassed. 

Leanna's a bit of a free spirit and her favorite color is red.   I have also noticed when the girls in their family get to chose a fabric color for dresses, such as a soft blue, Leanna would rather have teal. 

So here's Leanna's pillowcase. 

First a close up...

And the finished pillow! Hope she likes it!  Hope her parents don't think it is too bright!
