Whew

Well I hope you all enjoyed that long weekend because for me personally, it was exactly what I needed! School ended on Friday, new job started on Saturday. I think I slept for 12 hours straight Saturday night.. it was wonderful.

Thanks to everyone who supported our little shop this weekend, all packages are shipping today!

We spent some time on the beach, relaxing and mentally recharging.. then I busted out the sewing.

Last week I wanted to complete my 2 runner orders and 2 of the 3 puff quilts. I'm pleased to say I was able to get there! I still have one puff in progress, and i'm definitely not enjoying the process by number 3, but the faster I get it done... the faster I can work on the fun sewing :)

This one is for a former co-workers friend

 This is part 1 of 2

My brother's good friend is having twin girls 

and he's the godfather to one of them!

Whew, those puff quilts are a ton of work and I tend to forget that when I make promises to people that ask for them... Anyway, last one this week and also my Pillow Talk Swap Pillow needs to get done! Here's my sneak peek..

Alright, back to the grind.. see ya soon!

Aloha Friday

Whew, even though its technically only Thursday night, I cant believe I made it and survived the week.. it has been a really long week, but honestly, i'm feeling good and staying positive. As a completely anxiety ridden person, I feel like not only did I survive the week, but maybe I made some personal jumps as well??

Anyway, here's a quick rundown. Wednesday, i'm driving to school, car seems louder than usual (I had a soft top convertible so its like driving in a wind tunnel all the time) - whatever, keep driving. I go home at the end of the day, now i'm thinking I may have a slow leak in my tire, but I checked them all and nothing, so okay keep going. I get off the Pali (windy highway in the cliffs for those of you that have been to Maui) and i'm in bumper to bumper so i'm driving slow and the car is wobbling. Okay, I KNOW thats not good. Pull into the gas station and check tires again.. nothing. So finally I look under the car, and see this..

Welp, that sucks.

Call AAA to come change the flat, and he can't get the spare to fit (the spare that came with the car and will definitely fit) - fine, what do I know. Tow it to Kahului 25 miles away because no one carries the tire size I need. Change tire, now the car wont reverse.. WHAT?!

Apparently front wheel drive cars cannot be towed by the back wheels, when the car is not running. You think a tow truck driver would know this? Nope. Transmission = dead. Chances of finding a Saab transmission in the middle of the Pacific = ZERO.

Car is dead in the water until we can locate one and ship it out. Such has been my week.

Last day of school tomorrow. Mentally exhausted. Sewing has taken a back burner. After lots of sleep, i'll catch up. Silver lining... That tire could have been a lot worse and caused a serious accident, so i'm thankful that wasn't the case, which makes the rest of this a nuisance, but tolerable... see why i'm proud of myself?? 

Happy Aloha Friday!

Puffs, puffs, puffs

Still working over here.. chugging along. My goal for the week was 2 runners, 2 puff quilts by Saturday.. So far, i'm 1 for 3

Runners
1. One done and shipped
2. Waiting to be quilted

Puff Quilts
1. Still waiting for borders... patiently.

2. Almost ready for borders.

In other news,

Happy Go Lucky is here!!!

Bundles are listed in the shop, here's some eye candy for you

Hopefully i'll be more fun soon and have more to show,

 I have Monday off so thats a perk! :)

Busy busy busy

Well, if the title didnt give it away... maybe the lack of posts did?

I'm entering the last week of school this week, but for the past month i've been doing double duty and shadowing/working weekends at the new job that starts... next week. Whoever said teachers get the summers off.. LIED. I've never had one off. haha oh well, such is life!

I spent most of the weekend working on custom orders that i've neglected and recently gotten from the shop. I've got one puff quilt just needing borders, one in the puffing stage, and one waiting to be puffed. Whew. Of course my machine is being fickle as well which is making the process oh so much smoother...

I've also got one runner completed and out the door tomorrow, the other sitting waiting to be completed.

The goal is to have 2 puff quilts completely done and both runners done this week. We'll see how that works..

We've also got Happy Go Lucky arriving this week!! Yayy!! I've set up some pre-order listings that are shipping as soon as the fabric arrives (should be early this week, I got the notification it shipped last week!)

I've set up PREORDER listings so if you're as excited as I am, you'll be ready to go!

If that wasn't enough excitement, Debbie has announced the Zakka Sew Along schedule and you could win a $30 gift certificate to our little shop! She also has a discount code that you can take advantage of asap! Use the code Zakka10 for 10% off your fabric purchase!

Phew, alright, i'll check back in later this week.
