My Casa Bella

COME IN THE EVENING, OR COME IN THE MORNING;

COME WHEN YOU'RE LOOK'D FOR,

OR COME WITHOUT WARNING.

KISSES AND WELCOME YOU'LL FIND BEFORE YOU,

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME HERE

THE MORE I'LL ADORE YOU!

-Thomas Osbourne Davis



Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

Sew Wonderful!!

Today I am actually going to get to
SEW!!!
Woo Hoo!
It's been way over due. Some of you may
have read a bit of
my whining on my last post.
I had every bit to whine, the winter is
flying by and I've yet
to accomplish any sewing projects, so last night
I cut, cut, cut fabric and I have
some more to do today.
Since the weather is icky out today,
roads are slick,
and hubby took the SUV to work
which is the car I
drive everyday, then I thought today
would be a great day
to catch up
DH brought my sewing machine in
for me,
it's on the dining room table
ready to go.
So the fabric above is for two purses,
This one below is for purse one:
Love the colors, its a soft
corduroy
and I'll be using dark brown
handles for this
purse
The one below is for purse number
two:
Bright colors with a dark brown
background,
aren't the polka dots fun?
This fabric is for an apron I'm making
for new friends that we
made.
We've been staying with a family
every once in awhile during
our Hindi class,
and she loves to cook so I thought
of making her an apron with the
colors of India,
but I forgot to get coordinating
strap fabric for the ties,
And this one is for another wonderful
friend in TN, a family we stayed
with while visiting.
They are such an awesome couple,
married for many years
and she loves
cooking and entertaining as
well,
the colors go with her kitchen: 
So lots of sewing to do, and I'm
excited.
I will post the finished products.
