Little Bits of Happy

This weekend found me back in the sewing room making cute little things just for the FUN of it!! I've wanted to make one of these mason jar pincushions forever and finally did.  During a little retail therapy I scored some adorable packages of trim (40% off) to go on some spools that have been sitting in a drawer. I decorated them with some cute scrapbook paper and they are now sitting happily on a shelf in my sewing room.
Just in case you think my sewing space is neat and tidy, here is evidence to the contrary. Still makes me pretty happy. It's a CUTE mess ♥♥♥
I also finished my attempt at the Happy Hexagon Trivet in Patchwork Please. I am sure my childhood report cards read "does not follow directions" because I didn't read the part about enlarging the pattern. But it's a cute mug rug, don't ya think????
Another little bit of happy......it's time to break out the Halloween jewelery!!! The cute bracelet was made for me a few years ago by sweet Trish at Notes of Sincerity and the necklace is a birthday gift from my daughter Becky.  I love black and orange, which also happen to be the school colors of our local high school! :)

  11. Love your hexi mug rug. I tried to make one last night (different style) but when I put lines of machine quilting to it - the whole thing became misshapen. Do you have any idea why this happened? I tried changing the tension, etc. on my very 1980s Singer but nothing helped. Thanks, Mary

    1. So sorry that happened....the only thing I can think of is do you have a walking foot? I've had that happen a few times before I bought one for my sewing machine. Hope this helps!!
