Kidecals--Personalized Labels for Both Kids and Adults

When I was going to kidecals.com to place my order, I was wondering, just which of my 11 grandchildren I would get labels for.  
When I arrived on the website I found out that kidecals offers so much more than just labels for your children's items!    Oh, there are plenty of those to choose from, whether you want to mark their belongings for school, camp, sports, or anything else.   About any design you want that fits your child can be found.  The choices seem to be endless.   I had so much fun looking through the site to decide just what I wanted.
I could have gotten a name sticker for each of the 11 grandchildren.  A sticker for their bedroom door, for example.

The site name is kidecals, but don't let that fool you!  There are stickers and decals and labels for everyone--from newborn to parents.
There are labels for every occasion even including canning and organizing.   Elder labels, camp labels, luggage tags, fun stickers and so much more.

 You can order keyboard stickers in so many cool designs (Created for Mac (Apple) keyboards only. Printed on premium quality removable vinyl with a non-residue acrylic adhesive that's ideal for delicate surfaces. Easily removable and won't harm keys).   Unfortunately I don't own a Mac as I would have ordered a set for sure (once I finally made a choice of the many designs available).  Here is just one of the many choices:

I went to the mommy section for my choices.  It was so much fun getting these stickers for my daughters.
My youngest daughter needed this one--fits her perfectly.  It's on her bedroom door, and you better not wake up little Amelia once she gets to sleep!

I bought the hush.....sleeping baby one for my oldest daughter who will give birth to her 6th child in September.  The Property of Mom Hands Off and Property of Scary Mommy I will let each of my 3 daughters have one of each.....and I plan on keeping one for myself.

This sign is just for me and right on too  LOL  (Me and wine is a big joke between myself and my children.)  It's now on my front door.

When you first get to the kidecals website you can sign up for their newletter and will receive 10% off your order.  Special for my readers is a 15% discount for using the code: kidecalslabel.

I also want to mention that the stickers are waterproof, laundry safe, BPA free, and cute!

I hope you check out kidecals and let me know what you think---and what you order for yourself.

WIP Wednesday-- Almost a Finish

I finished my challenge quilt for quilt guild, but I can't mark it as finished yet.  There are so many mistakes and I need to rectify those.....especially before it would hang in a quilt show!  The plan is to have a section at the Wichita quilt show next year to display our guild's challenges.
Here is mine, still counting as a WIP since I'm going to work on it more.

Sadly, the only other thing that I managed to work on at all last week (while trying to finish the challenge) was to get one step further on my red string quilt blocks.  Obviously I'm not going to be doing this months color at the soscrappy blog (which isn't really a color, but instead to use up the fabrics that have so many colors you don't know what color they really are)

The good news is that I will be at a quilt retreat Friday and Saturday.  My trunk is packed with my machine, projects, and supplies.  I can't wait for those hours of dedicated sewing time!!

WIP Wednesday -- At Least Something

I didn't end up putting up a post last Wednesday and I just really hadn't gotten anything done.
I sure haven't done much this past week either.
I am way behind on making my yo-yo's now....so much for that 365.  I didn't even think to take a picture of what I do have made.

I did finish one thing this week....not in my 17 UFO's in 2017 challenge.  A lady at the bowling alley requested that I make her bags for her bowling shoes.  Working on the fly with no pattern, they came out pretty well and she loved them.

Last week was sewing day at church and I got just a few more polyester 9 patches done on the top I am hand sewing.

Friday evening was sit n' sew at the quilt shop.  I got out the Arkansas Crossroads quilt top that I've not worked on for months now.  I had to reorganize, but did get 7 more blocks made for it

I have over half of the hand quilting done on my challenge for quilt guild.  This is a must to finish by the end of this weekend as it's due on Monday!  Wish my luck.

WIP Wednesday -- Too Many Projects to Work On!

Oh my...I feel so overwhelmed by how many projects that I really need to finish.  I have yet to finish even one of my 17 UFO's in 2017 challenge!

I did work on the penny rug, but ended up putting it away before taking a picture.  What I found is that I need far more felt circles than what I had cut out.  I need to get to finding my felt in my mess of a craft/sewing room.  Hopefully by next week I will at least have a few of the circles that I do have pinned on sewn down.  I make myself no promises though.

I did get one step further on the red string blocks, red being March's color with the soscrappy blog challenge.  I've not even looked yet to see what the color is for April.

I have my guild challenge sandwiched and pinned, but am at a loss on how I am going to quilt it.  This has to be done by the 24th so I need to get that figured out, and quickly too!

Of course I'm still going with my yo'yo's.  I'm looking forward to the upcoming quilt retreat this month where I plan to start sewing them together.

I'm heading out now to the post office to see how much it will cost to ship a quilt to Ireland.  If it's not too much over what I have for the shipping in my etsy shop for it then it's sold.  Wish me luck!

Frugal Friday with Marsha -- Rug Making

As I have been working to attempt to make a penny rug, rugs, and making them is on my mind.

Some say that just  like quilting, rug making is a "lost art".  They are probably right, but I have a great time making them.

I started out years ago by crocheting them with that huge crochet hook.  I made them out of t-shirts that I cut in big rounds of strips.  We still use these around the house all these years later.  I even still have on of them listed in My Zibbet Shop.

I'm long done making rugs this way.  Some years back now a lady in our church taught us how to make toothbrush rugs.  One of the men of the church took our toothbrushes and fashioned them into the needles for us.

Here are a few that I have made.  Some of these have sold and some of them you will find in my Zibbet and in My Etsy Shop.

I still love making the toothbrush rugs and have bags of materials ready to make more in my craft room.

I took a class at the quilt shop on how to make a lockerhook rug.  So much fun!!  I have made 2 now.  One has sold and the other one is still in my Etsy shop.   I have one more to make this size, but I have bought more canvas and intend to make a runner rug!

I got an idea that I could make a latchhook rug with little strips of t-shirt.  This one is still a work in progress....and one that I need to get out to work on!

The only picture I have of the penny rug is the one I shared in my WIP Wednesday blog with my progress on cutting out the felt circles.   I do have those cut out now and in hopes that as soon as I am done with this post I will be pinning the circles to the blanket that I am using for the backing of the rug.  I will give a report on how it's coming along both here and in next Wednesday's post.

Other than buying the canvas for the lockerhook rugs and the string for making those, most all of my materials are "handed down" to me as others clean out their sewing rooms.....edges of fabrics that I've used for other projects, bought at yard sales and such.    In the "olden days", as I call them, all rugs and other things were made with scraps of worn clothing, blankets and such.  Sometimes I think I would have made a good pioneer woman......LOL
