I updated a few items on Etsy. :D

PB&J
My PB&J love cross-stitch.

I have a few other projects in mind for Halloween. I'm also making some items for my Halloween swaps so it's hard for me not to post about them but I want to surprise those ladies I am sending them too.

PB&J Cross Stitch


Here is my PB&J cross stitch all finished! I added a lovely bow and some hearts. I'll post this soon as well on my Etsy shop. Working on a embroidery piece that has to do with caramel apples. I love the fall! That means popcorn balls and caramel apples come out to play.

Fabric Shopping

Trip 005
I think out of all the fabric shopping I did while on my trip, Jackman's Fabrics was my favorite stops. It was wall to wall of every kind of fabrics you can think of. Tons of ideas and things you could need. In the back they had tons of work tables and sewing machines for there classes. I would love to attend one!

Here are more pictures inside the store:

I got tons of fabrics from a few stores and nothing was pricey. A lot of it was on sale which made me happy. I can find nothing really around me in PA unless I hit the thrift stores. This was a nice change and I was so spoiled by it.

Big Post Coming Up!



I have so much stuff I want to post about so this one will be huge. My sister attempted to teach me how to croshay. Which I ended up failing at. I guess what didn't help was after she showed me how to do something she backed up stating she was wrong and do it this way. That happened every 5mins so I just gave up. I love my sister of course. <3

The picture above is her work. She is making blankies for my parents dogs to fluff up and sleep in.


Here is the cross-stitch my sister was working on as well. We tease one another because she likes to work from a pattern with all the colors/etc. laid out. I usually draw my designs on the material and go from there.


My sister and me are huge LUSH fans as well. Since there isn't one around where I live I was happy to go along for the shopping. My sister and I got way too much stuff but we will use it all of course. ;D I also got a few goodies for free and some samples/etc. I would so love to work at a LUSH store. I wonder if they accept weekend workers. They also have face masks that you can only buy in the stores. They only last for a month and you have to keep them in a frig. Another lovely plus is my bathroom smells like Lush thanks to all my buys. <3



Also, did a little shopping at My Paper Crane's online store. I got some of her fabric and a pin. The little house was a extra gift sent by her.
