Hey Folks. I'm totally still here after my absence over the last few days. Not long after my last post about Halloween costumes for my dog Sally the wonder pug was stung by a bee. Sally my pug, is highly allergic to bees and went into anaphylactic shock. I gave her medication so she wouldn't die but she had to still be rushed to the vet er to save her life as the shock was now killing her.
She came home yesterday after being at the vet for three days. Our tattoo Gypsy family is so much happier now that the Sally pug is home at last. She is taking it easy this weekend as we too are now that the vet bill has left us broke. But hey I have a pretty big stash and plenty of projects to do so lets get ready for the holidays.
Today I began cleaning out the three boxes of art supplies in the closet as well as just cleaning out the closet. My in laws are staying a week around thanksgiving so getting prepared now is great especially because i would like to be heavily crafting and sewing for the holidays.
I love those Costco Bags. I was totally obsessed with buying them every time i went to costco then poof they stopped caring them. I did travel all about and I'm sure some Costco's may sell them. Anyone want to trade something cool for some new Costco bags? XOXO
I found this amazing little version of the larger storage containers they sell at walmart for .50. What a great little container I though. Thankfully it was nap time while I was searching for something rad to put the pains in.
Oh my mess!
I do have to show off my fabulous fabric stash organisation the other day. This is the top of an old steamer trunk from about 1920. I love the steamer trunks for so many things. And in the lower level I have larger pieces of fabric nestled between my precious china.
A few days later still organized.
Walla my closet is coming along!
Well I better get back to decluttering and organizing.
Love and Kisses.
XOXO

Today we raid the library!
Today I was attacked by a drove of small children at the library! I have discovered that gold teeth and tattoos will make every child want to touch and admire up close. That being said I am super proud of my little gypsy toddler who didn't seem to mind. I actually think he was stoked to be with the grown up everyone wanted to talk with.
After my gold tooth was fingered by about five children and I started to become a bit overwhelmed so we went on up to the adult area to grab a few mommy books.
My first book:

I like this one:

And this one:

Next!

Really who wouldn't grab this one!

My sister in law will love this!

I need a pot holder!

Every home needs a few of these
Next book,


Super rad sweater hats!

I'm going to do this for the little dude!
Last but not least:

This book is full of ideas! I may do almost every pattern.




Have bunches of fun today dolls!
I will post anything I sew!

Hanging Paper Flowers
In Nevada it has turned from spring into full blown winter.
So on this cold snowy day we made Paper flowers to hang from the wall!
Happy Thursday!

Baby blanket floor pillow
This is my favorite baby blanketFlannel flying pigs, Soft and warm from plenty of love. My mom made it for me while I was pregnant. I measured my blanket, which was 32"x32" and added 10 inches for pocket.
Today I used a blue pencil.
I folded my white twin sheet in half and cut 21x32. Then cut in my fold.
I thought this was ugly so I trimmed with pinking shears and used a few dabs of fray check.
-Press and pin both sides of middle fold cut. Sew each pinned side.
-Pin wrong sides together
-Overlap the two halfs so you have a pocket.
Sorry bad -active toddler- picture
Stuff with those pesky baby blankets.
Floor pillow!!!
My large pile of floor pillows.
Have a Bitchin Day!
