About Me

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 kids. I've been selling on eBay for about 7 years. It's helped me be able to stay at home with my family

When I'm not sitting in front of my sewing machine (I got a new Janome 1600p and I LOVE it!!!), I usually sitting on the couch watching t.v. with my dh. Thanks to DVR we can watch our favorite shows together. I usually have to wait until Sunday or Monday to catch up on all my favorites, but I love being able to sit and laugh with my best friend and husband of 15 years! (insert corny music here)

Favorite Crafts

I like sewing quilts, aprons and bags. Actually "like" isn't a strong enough word...I'm addicted to it. I am a hopeless fanatic! Fabric fabric fabric!!! I recently made a really cute skirt for my teenager and am hoping to learn more clothing type sewing skills.

and....

When I'm not sewing or chasing kids, I'm reading or watching a show on t.v. with a Dr. Pepper, bowl of popcorn and a package of M&M's at my side! I'm always looking for a good book to read, in fact I enlisted the help of my oldest child to borrow books from her school library because I'm too lazy to go to my local library.

wish list:

*I love apron or hand bag patterns (new or used) *Christmas fabric *Stabilizer for the bottom of my bags *Buttons buttons buttons--anything to embellish with *rick-rack (any color) *sewing thread *Janome 1600p bobbins *measuring tape (my 5 year old keeps stealing mine) *quilt magazines *fine point sharpies

If you have me as a swap partner and you can't think of anything to get me, cotton fabric is always the way to go.

Other things I like are little embellishments for the bags I make (see my flickr for some of my work).

don't need

*I really don't need any more ribbon *I don't use stickers or scrapbook type embellishments. *I don't drink tea *I sell candles, so I don't need any

Comment: Hey! I got my stuff today! I love it all, but especially the Love cards! They are very very neat! Don't worry about being late or anything, I can understand that, and I had faith you'd send, so I requested not to get an angel for it. We all have problems. Hope you had a happy day! Thank you again.
Response: I'm so glad you liked it. I have been gathering odd items I find at thrift stores in hopes that I would find "homes" for the items. When I read your profile that you collect cards I was very excited!! Thanks for understanding and being patient with me and thanks for the good rating. Happy Valentine's Day!
