My daughter that sews!

Ashley wasn't able to come home for Mother's Day. She had a floor reset at work and whoever scheduled that must not be a mother or have one! Anyway, she came home the week-end before and we spent two days sewing. Yes, I have a daughter that sews! I also have a daughter-in- law that sews. I am sure it is just a matter of time  before the other two girls jump on board the sewing wagon.

Ashley designs clothes. Right now her big girl job is dressing mannequins. Lucky girl. We may have talked more than we sewed, I love catching up with whats going on with her. She is crazy   funny and has good

taste in music.

I can't show you yet what she was working on but I will very soon. Check back. I worked  on a cute tote. I can't decide if I should keep  it or put it on Etsy.

That's me, rockin' it old school! I am pretty sure this will be the tote I use on the Lincoln Highway Yard Sale this year. Happy Hunting! ~Robin~

Ohio Button Show

Mr. Wonderful took me to the Ohio Spring Button Show. What a man! I  found  some treasures and saw many exquisite buttons. Here are a few of my treasures;

Fanny  Lily Gipsy Davenport was an English-born American stage actress debuting in 1862. I found 3 different size buttons depicting her.

Beautiful modern glass buttons

I was very excited to find Millicent Safro of Tender Buttons at the Ohio show. Tender Buttons is one of my bucket list destinations. Hopefully this is the year! You can visit here; .http://www.tenderbuttons-nyc.com/

Our dear Winnefred at her very first button show! I hope you have something that you are as passion about as Winnefred and I are about buttons. Happy hunting! ~Robin~

Hanky tablecloth

I did it! The hanky tablecloth is finished!

If nothing else this blog has made me finish what I start in a timely manner. I have been known to start a sewing project, and when the going gets tough I tuck it away. This tablecloth could have been one of those projects. I had a hard time deciding how to finish it. I am glad I stuck with it.
I also would like to thank each of you that has visited me here in blog land. Your comments, emails and phone calls have cheered me on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Happy hunting! Robin
