I am obsessed with vintage Pyrex. The above picture is my dream – I love all the colors and patterns! There is even a website devoted to Pyrex called Pyrex love.com
I bought my first 3 pieces at our Antique Mall last week. They were 40% off even! I will have to keep looking while I am garage sailing & thrift shopping!! They are not easy to find!

The paint cans are put away! I am done painting! Hooray!!!! It took me some getting used to – but I really like it – it feels way more open. It is hard to take photos of the kitchen because I am always cooking or cleaning up – so this is as good as it gets for now!
This is how it used to look – everything was red! Wow – it looks different!!

I spray painted some hand-me-down chairs and switched them out for my regular kitchen chairs. I love how bright & happy they look.

I cannot count my day complete
‘Til needle, thread and fabric meet.
‘Til needle, thread and fabric meet.
It has been true especially this week! Monday I sewed this quilted tote bag for a church Relief Society Service Auction. I love how it turned out – I need to make one for myself! The basic pattern is here. I changed a few things and quilted it.
The next day I sewed this little owl. I got the pattern from one of my favorite blogs, Just Another Hangup. He is filled with rice. You pop him in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds and he is perfect for cramps, sore muscles, cold feet, etc. He was a gift for a friend.
Wednesday I spent the day pouring over a McCall’s skirt pattern. I psyched myself up and went for it. I am a quilter at heart but I am trying to be a better seamstress. The skirt turned out so cute. It is for my daughter. I will next attempt to sew one for me!

Marshmallow Crunch Brownie Bars
I found this recipe from Brown Eyed Baker and they are the best bars I have ever had! The recipe was easy to follow and they come out looking beautiful. It is my new favorite recipe!
Sewing Organization

I have these two items sitting on my sewing table in need of help:
This item – a pencil organizer – I bought at Target and it spins around. I keep scissors and pencils in it. The only problem is that everything falls out the sides because they are open. After a year of putting up with it – I decided to oput it in the “donation” pile. Then an idea came to me and I fished it out of the donation pile. I got 3 cans and covered them with scrapbook paper. The cans fit perfectly inside each of the 3 compartments and now nothing falls out – and it is super cute!
This other drawer thing I bought at a garage sale for 50 cents. I keep my sewing machine feet, different pins, and quilting gloves in each of the drawers. I have been meaning to decorate it and today was the perfect day to do so!
Now everything looks color coordinated and happy!
