Shame, Shame, on me!

Since its been almost a year since I've posted anything I figured it was about time. A lot has happened since my last post but I'll spare you the details. Most importantly I'm Mrs. Bartunek! Yes I know, I wanted to keep my own last night or hi fin it but Mr. Bartunek was having that. After over 7 years hes still the one for me:)

We had a lovely honeymoon in Chippewa Falls, WI. We rented a very cute cabin on lake Wissota. Such a beautiful place hope to get back there again.

I have been very good about making small projects! Mostly all of my Christmas gifts for my friends this year were homemade and I hope to keep up with that this year as well.

I've discovered quality felt! Made the yo-yo candle mat above to sell at the store; http://www.littleredhenofmitchell.com/, I also made the felt rose. I had a request for covered button hair pins so I made up several sets of those.

Quilting is something I did a lot of when I was younger. Trying to have the patience and re-learn the tricks has been challenging but I've enjoined every project I've work on so far.

Alex hooked me up with a net book which makes snooping on blogs so much easier and a whole lot less stressful (the old laptop always needed to be plugged in), So mom helped me make a laptop bag.

Well that's all I have for now, I'll try to be a better blogger but I'm not making any promises!

ahh New Bag!

Well first of all, I've so proud of myself! I'm sewing and working on new things almost every day, and I made a new bag from a pattern I followed all by myself! I'm sure my mother is proud too:)

I finally took this...

and turned some of it into this...

I love love this bag! I made it using a free bag pattern from, Made By Rae. It came together so fast! I have several gift ideas floating around in my head...

Sew Busy!

So I kept myself busy this weekend sewing! It was such a beautiful day. Alex and I got on the bikes for a little while but since my tags were expired we stayed close to home. Here's some stuff I made... most of it is for sale at the store (The Little Red Hen), some of it I'm keeping for gifts.

Here's a scarf I made from some left over minkie. It's so soft and snugly, super easy to make too!

I love making yo-yos! Here's another garland I made... The light colors remind me of Easter and it's gonna look great on the white feather tree at the store.

I've sold several of my purse organizers at the store so I used up some fat quarters and made these three.

Remember the sweet treat bag? Well it's super easy pattern to follow, I've adjusted the size several times. This one turned out more like a clutch..

...two small make up bags.
That's all I got for now! See you next time!
