Sewing for Jazmyn

I  thought I'd share what I've been up to lately.  I've been sewing for my granddaughter  who turned 11 on the 25th.

Her favorite color is turquoise so I went out and got this, I thought it was colorful.

I decided to make her a skirt.  It only uses 3 pattern pieces so it was pretty simple.  That's the kind of sewing I like.

I thought I would embellish this tee shirt I got at the big W.

I made 3 of these rolled flowers and added a little bling.



I picked up a bangle bracelet at a garage sale.  I covered that with the same fabric. I also made her a cute bag but I forgot to get a pic of that.

Here's the end result her skirt was so easy to make.

To my sweet Jazz,

May the Lord bless you and guide you in all that you do.  May he pour grace down upon you, as you become a girl for God. 

 Love You,

G-mom

Stay tuned for more of my life in 1000sqft.



With all my heart,

Garage Sale Finds

Hello friends,

Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday! 

It was a great weekend for sailing! Look what I got.

I love apron's so when I find a cute one I get it, this one was $1.00.

I'll add this to my collection of darners, I actually use them.

When ever I see wooden spools I pick them up.  I'm collecting them for when ever I get a proper sewing room so I can display them in one of my big jar's.

This measuring tape has a lot of wear and tear, ooh if it could only talk what story would it tell.

Another glass frog for 2 bucks!

These scraps look very vintage.

The scraps were the best deal of the day they were Free!!!

Well that's it for now stay tuned for more of my life in 1000sqft.



With all my heart,

Yolanda

Mothers Day Outing

Hi Friends!

I hope you all had a great Mothers Day!  It was a beautiful day we went to Temecula.



Color galore, I just loved it!

I want one of these, it would look so darling in the garden.

I was strolling through one of the stores and I saw this adorable child's wheelbarrow,

 I want it! so I'm on the hunt. 

I want one of these too! I think I like the one in the middle the best.

They had the most amazing chocolate covered strawberry's,  yummmmy!

Here's another wheelbarrow very rustic.

Aren't these the sweetest ballet slippers...

Buttons, Buttons and more Buttons.

How about this, 2.00 a scoop

Love the scoop!

Say cheese!

Today is Thursday, so I'm going sailing tomorrow,

 so stay tuned for more of my life in 1000 sq ft.

With all my heart,

Happy Mothers Day!

What makes a good mother anyway? Is it patience? Compassion? Broad hips? The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt, all at the same time?

Or is it heart? Is it the ache you feel when you watch your son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time?



The jolt that takes you from sleeping to dread, from bed to crib at 2 a.m. to put your hand on the back of a sleeping baby?

Is it the need to flee from wherever you are and hug your child when you hear news of a school shooting, a fire, a car accident, a baby dying?

I think so.

Lord I pray for :

Those who are grieving the loss of their mothers

Those who raise children on their own.

Those who have lost a child.

Those who care for the children of others.

Those who have a child away from home.

Those who's desire to be a mother has not been fulfilled.

Those who are blessed to stay at home, and those who yearn to.

May God bless you all, with strength, patience, courage and wisdom.
Lord, pour down your grace upon them,
all this I ask in Jesus's precious name,
Amen.

With all my heart,

Yolanda

Wedding Planning in Palm Springs

Hello Friends!  hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Palm Springs was great! 

 The weather was warm and the blue sky was beautiful.

Palm trees a plenty, It was quite a sight to look up and be covered by these large palm's.

 

I love the shadow's created by the palm's

It was so peaceful to hear the fountain's running. I love that.

The grounds were covered with splashes of color.

Here's the entrance to the resort, this pic doesn't do it justice these door's are big.

The girls were discussing, measuring and planning...

Here's Dad, I wonder what he was thinking, looks like he could use a drink.

So cool...

So refreshing...

So inviting...

I wanted to jump right in!

Brides are invited to climb up this tower, stay tuned to see if our brides takes the challenge. did I mention the only way up is by using a ladder.

I love what they did here with the bougainvillea.

Thank you girls for including little ole me.   I had a blast!

Now on to planning the wedding shower!  Stay tuned for more of my life in 1000sqft.



With all my heart.
