I love making fun little gifts and these quilted coasters are no exception. Another tried and true, I've blogged about them before<a href="http://sewsupersweet.blogspot.com/2010/11/pretty-cool-coasters-from-pretty-cool.html" target="_blank"> here</a>. They make a great housewarming or hostess gift. I made these just recently as a housewarming gift for a friend moving to Tulsa: <br />

At Christmas time, I slipped a few sets like the ones above into some bags of baked holiday treats I delivery to friends and they were a hit! So fun for a play room, a sun room or even a craft room! <br /><br />

And because everyone I know seems to be having babies, I have started to run low on my stash of baby blankets, my go to gift for the newborns in my life! So I whipped up a few recently, and here they are: <br />

As I start to sew again, I have challenged myself to only use the stash of fabric that I have on hand....surely three large storage bins are enough to get me started again. :) So no buying fabric for me for a while....but that hasn't stopped me from drooling over it online! Stop back by tomorrow for Tuesday Treasury #23 to see my most recent favorite fabrics finds on Etsy! </div>

(a new finish)Boy does it feel good to finally have another finish...and what a super fun one it is! This weekend I was able to steal away for a few hours to finish some projects that had been cut and laying in my "needs finishing" basket for oh....I don't know....a year maybe? Okay, for well over a year.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731802849417377042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjccziFaIaN47TmWa_382dO-LxNwrvLGh1IoyyDl9kXVOOp67jTc10zBKSGVsi76dcMPojPEJpry4mC_ZHH_Yn8OF1e5k-MjHq6wNbZ7Zzz9gdKGPtiFaVnZ55a6-2MxkBWdRZ-la7f1cQO/s320/apron+001.jpg" /><br />And this poor little apron was one of those projects. While it is not a new project for me (I've made them <a href="http://sewsupersweet.blogspot.com/2011/02/fun-etsy-feature.html">here</a> and <a href="http://sewsupersweet.blogspot.com/2011/02/sew-super-sweet-apron-party-favors.html">here</a>), they are a great project to get back in the groove on becaues they are relativly straight forward and simple. For this one, my mother asked me probably 18 months ago to make a cute little apron for a close family friend's sweet little girl and all I can say is thank goodness she only nearly a year old at the time because fortunately I've made it just in time for her to be able to actually wear it!<br /><br />I have a few more projects I am putting the finishes touches on this week and I can't wait to share them as soon as they are wrapped up.

I ended up purchasing an inexpensive food steamer and chose to use my hand held emulsion blender, which seemed to cut both the time and the clean up in half. </p><br /><br /><p align="left">And now that I at least have an idea as to what I am doing, I found myself enjoying making it. I enjoyed being in the kitchen late on a Sunday afternoon, listening to my music, sipping on a diet coke, stopping to play with Z in between batches that were in the steamer. Time, most definitely, well spent. </p><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/53/0CE1093B8B6778B284B4CFD7E032568B.png" /></a></p>emilyc @ Sew Super Sweethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15596796466851350186noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666352568415523307.post-34696854587910001522012-04-11T03:45:00.000-05:002012-04-11T03:45:00.207-05:00Words on Wednesday #13<div align="center">This is speaking to me this week....</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRKJSD62FF1-ccniwG2eHQ9gNlJFXFGPTDzKLlVe5SA8N4g6n5_0DZRJDqKC2a1Pi3K2vbvqJQ5Q0RRUm8A5I1B_b7HkZFLfw1U3xzxBbKGYbpMf7auO8bxgI4_dZTq73CbnkOAUhj-8sq/s1600/want.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 209px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727649790223385698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRKJSD62FF1-ccniwG2eHQ9gNlJFXFGPTDzKLlVe5SA8N4g6n5_0DZRJDqKC2a1Pi3K2vbvqJQ5Q0RRUm8A5I1B_b7HkZFLfw1U3xzxBbKGYbpMf7auO8bxgI4_dZTq73CbnkOAUhj-8sq/s320/want.jpg" /></a> Though my struggle is not doing something I have never done...<br />I am more than willing to do something different if that is what it takes to achieve what I want. <br />But rather, do I really want something different in the first place? <br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/53/0CE1093B8B6778B284B4CFD7E032568B.png" /></a></p></div>emilyc @ Sew Super Sweethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15596796466851350186noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666352568415523307.post-32531056710121179652012-04-09T09:14:00.017-05:002012-04-09T10:16:14.600-05:00Hello Monday #1<div align="center"><br />I've been having so much fun editing my pictures with Instagram, so<br />I am trying something new today by<br />linking up with <a href="http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/blog/">Lisa Leonard's Hello Monday Series</a>!<br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729418178361625026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXKu3dZ0JTsmsK6LptacdDb3C7XDJM1B1Iz73V0oR2n1196i5foNyShO93U5eoNiDbfoe-vizAu7uUeMXGyM897je7e_ctEx8nYaOli4Y8hK2yJEykAuzUrQuVZc2SasRKWYzqqThH1h0Q/s320/loves.jpg" /> <br /><div align="center">Hello, my loves. </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729418375891608690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiob2F_ikoRHdWKWbxlUiYOTfd6MNkpddhTaVMvIUTPEm0YCTH54jbfGvljCOlY5oJ_kNuAlNswlt98oNezrvlUXf9PCBzToNJAqiJOS4D6bBRiLwgVTDgU3r2S2Vy4ihwHjAwH1k0ToNn6/s320/egg.jpg" /></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Hello, 1st Easter and his 1st Egg!

Maybe it was because I was worried that I wouldn't make it correctly, along with everything else I worried about that first year, or maybe it was because I had no idea what babies even ate. So when E was born this past Fall, I was a little surprised when I found myself starting to pick up various baby food making tools at my local Buy Buy Baby. After stopping to read the backs of all of these various tools, I started to realize that most of these things...the food grinder, the steamer basket, the blender, the cute little storage containers....I already had in my kitchen. How hard could it be? </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">But then the doubt crept back in....maybe I needed all these fancy baby food making tools? So I did the only normal thing I could think....I posted about it on Facebook to get the opinions of all of my mommy friends. Did I need all of these fancy baby food making tools? Or could I just use what was in my kitchen? The response was unanimous....use what you've already got in the kitchen. So I did. </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">I will tell you though that one of my faults is that I am terrible at reading directions all the way through, so even though I read up on some basics about steaming times, etc, I really just winged it and it all turned out in the end. </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">On the menu: sweet potatoes, butternut squash, green beans, carrots, apples, pears, and peaches. I know I show bananas in the picture, but I wasn't sure if those would freeze or not, so I decided to just smash them as we pick them up in the grocery store. The same goes for avacados. </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Zj5DjQ8teer6Ne8ST7fw1RDhXUns2S6C-FrvyffvWGneLd2Ajz9bTifmp2u1vUkbQ0nfWcczR5A0dIeUD5sYnzhZ7_r9EUZdm5NYIKdU4EG27owr0wO79q8WcfTOF0ok3Y9HRar_ztip/s1600/Picture+159.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

So, in the end, a pretty good deal. Some may argue that the 2-3 hours of time it took in the kitchen evened out the cost in the end, but for me, I was able to spend time in the kitchen while my kiddos played and making healthy food for my baby was definitely worth it. And now that I know what I am doing, I will definitely be doing it again. </div><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/53/0CE1093B8B6778B284B4CFD7E032568B.png" /></a></p></div></div></div><br /></div>emilyc @ Sew Super Sweethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15596796466851350186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666352568415523307.post-26248259427026535142012-03-28T05:54:00.000-05:002012-03-28T05:54:00.202-05:00Words on Wednesday #11<div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">It sure does. </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBwh2WO-sfqM07N9fktzDIo8lve2EOBepUGZy3ns8DOd_WTejMeyVSwvFTv4PTatCnTAId6g4xhN0D-ORxrwnITm-rTCsnw6yj9W-XZRxr7t6Um9XxSRwCN605w5vTpYY8o-xGC0MvhPct/s1600/goeson.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 236px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724760658441083794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBwh2WO-sfqM07N9fktzDIo8lve2EOBepUGZy3ns8DOd_WTejMeyVSwvFTv4PTatCnTAId6g4xhN0D-ORxrwnITm-rTCsnw6yj9W-XZRxr7t6Um9XxSRwCN605w5vTpYY8o-xGC0MvhPct/s320/goeson.jpg" /></a> <br /><p align="center"></p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/75550411/art-print-typography-everything-ive?ref=hp_tt_yt">source<br /></a><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/53/0CE1093B8B6778B284B4CFD7E032568B.png" /></a></p></div>emilyc @ Sew Super Sweethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15596796466851350186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666352568415523307.post-89886322704813634962012-03-27T20:42:00.004-05:002012-03-27T20:49:34.653-05:00Tuesday Treasury #20<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTAwMDkxOTd8MjU4MDk2Mzg1MQ/tuesday-treasury-20">Tuesday Treasury #20</a></span></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="left">I am in the market for a new wreath for Spring and I found these lovely ones on Etsy.

I have had some really intense highs...being at home in Kansas with my extended family and girlfriends who have known me virtually all of my life, followed by returning back to Dallas and feeling.....well.....lonely. There it is. I almost can't believe I have said it out loud. </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">I am having so many internal battles at the moment.....many of which my husband, bless his heart, just doesn't understand. When I am at home with my family and my childhood girlfriends, I am <em>myself. </em>When I am in TX, without all of them, I feel like I am only partly being myself. Now please, please, this isn't about marital issues at all. I love my husband, I want to be with my husband, things are fine between me and my husband. But I miss home. Terribly. And what I have there, I do not have here from both an emotional, and physcial, support system. Having two kids is hard, having two without any family or friends around, is even harder for me. I want my kids to know my family, and not just for a week or two at a time a few times a year. </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyLByxqGIJ_uGByhkp3t7R5DY1ZUIhnqDXujbF1DV8__Yi6DoU2LhGPCQn2Thgt4IIro7ZelLNH8GnLC_O1Nlx65oHRkjxCu54kNMBSVlPacpNTazGZQx2VLvs6e0njAZxKaua9cx-XRL6/s1600/delay.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722361053598158562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyLByxqGIJ_uGByhkp3t7R5DY1ZUIhnqDXujbF1DV8__Yi6DoU2LhGPCQn2Thgt4IIro7ZelLNH8GnLC_O1Nlx65oHRkjxCu54kNMBSVlPacpNTazGZQx2VLvs6e0njAZxKaua9cx-XRL6/s320/delay.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/176062666652480927/">Source<br /></a><br /></div><br /><div align="left">Being grateful is my husband's whole point, he thinks that instead of focusing on what I don't have, I should be focusing on what I do have....and I agree.

I am so grateful for him and my boys, but what I feel he doesn't understand is that I need <em>more</em>. I need family. I need friends.
