Flip Flops Keep you smiling

Just couldn't resist this canvas fabric when I was shopping. What to do with it came to me when going past a fun store for teaching kids to cook. What fun to wear this while helping mom or dad with supper. And besides flip flops are just plain fun no matter what!!!
These are on http://www.roomthreads.etsy.com/ for $13.99 "What a Deal"!!!!

Montour Trail - Pittsburgh Pa

I love biking but only on trail. Here in Pittsburgh we are blessed with the very extensive Rails-To-Trails system. Below are some pics from the stretch from Hendersonville to Venice in Washington, Pa.

To see me sometimes will make you smile, because I have a 5# Maltese dog that rides in my basket. He loves it most of the time. And without exception, anyone passing by flashes a smile. So I figure, that's good Karma.

SEWING TIP #2

After a few years, I decided to actually paint and organize my sewing room. Which lead to the project shown in the picture. Most sewers have the plastic storage containers to organize their goods just like I do. But since I was creating a room that clients would be seeing, I didn't want those plastic containers visible. So I created a cover for them.....see the photo below. Now I have the best of both worlds. Let me know what you think of it.

Sewing Room Tip #1

My sewing room is carpeted and always had a bit of trouble with cleaning up fallen scraps of fabric and pieces of thread. Used to use the suction end of my sweeper attachment but found something else very high tech....a little rake. Makes clean up quick and easy and you don't clog your sweeper

Extreme Makeover Home Edition

Extreme Makeover Home Edition May 2008

RoomThreads was honored this year by being invited to participate in a third edition of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. This year's season finale episode was the story of the Usea Family. Our embroidered sheets were used in Abigail's (Abby) and Audrey's (Sissy) bedrooms. We hope our linens added to their delight when they snuggled into bed that evening. At only 2 and 4 years old these two little princesses had experienced something more than their share at such an early age. Their home had been destroyed first in hurricane Katrina and then in a tornado.

Here are the sheets that were used....
