Yes I'm alive! I've been so busy with the kiddos school year end parties and summer vacation to blog. And between outings and feedings I've been playing with a new toy.
Have you seen this absolutely wonderful product?
I found mine on amazon, and it sat in its plastic case for a few months UNTIL I finally gave in and let me just say its been lovely. This foot attaches to your sewing machine and makes gathers for you.
It's heaven sent.... I love it.

Remember my ruffled curtain I made for my downstairs bathroom? It' took over a week to make. Granted I took breaks BUT... I seriously thought it was never going to be done. And when I did finish it, I vowed to never make anything ruffled again. It burned me out!...
Then I stumbled upon a few beautiful blogs filled with ruffles... and I gave in...
here's what I made...
Ruffled towels...
Ruffled slipcovers... for my freshly painted chairs
Ruffled lampshades...
found this lamp for $10.00 (score of the summer, so far)
and Ruffled stool covers...
I recently made curtains for my familyroom also...
I'm thinking about adding ruffles on the bottom like these from the Full Bloom Cottage... whats your opinion?
Thank you so much for stopping by!
XOXO,
Michelle
