Thanks again Cathy.

Skip, those "glass slippers" are way cool....and in my own personal belief, our Mizkaki is THE BOMB!! :D

Charlee,

It is so good to 'hear' your voice again. Stay around, but do take care of your self.

Cathy

Thanks Cathy! I promise to take care...I really do feel better these days, and have more energy. Not as much as I'd like to have, but it's a heck of a lot better than none at all! :)

Joe, I love that flower and the story behind it! :)

Elaine, I really like your aprons! For me? $25-$30 would be about as much as I would pay for someone else to make one for me....and I KNOW you probably have that much just in materials....so I'm not a very good judge of things like that!

Hello, all. It's been a bad couple of weeks and it took me quite awhile to read all the pages I missed. My computer got hit by lightening a week before we left the cabin and then on Friday, I tripped over a FW case and broke my upper right arm. I may have to have surgery but I won't be doing any sewing or working on machines for a few weeks, that's for sure. So, my best advice is.... don't leave your machines sitting in your walking path.

You all are finding more cool machines......a little envy going on here.

Goodness! Please heal quickly, and I hope that the discomfort is not much at all for you to deal with!

Well as for the materials, most of this has been bought at major discount when the stores were closing out or at estate sales. That sort of thing. I try to keep my costs as low as I can. So if I were to sell at that range I think I could make do. It is just weather or not I can convince the shoppers to buy them. :)

I would! I especially like the blue/yellow daisy one! :) That being said, remember that if you have to replace the fabric at today's prices, you'd need to ask more for them!

Welllll, they are for sale and it is first come first serve..LOL To anyone that wants them.
I just listed them for sale on the barter board on the homesteading forum that I belong to.
I am going to take them to my next art sale that is on the 1st of next month.

Check prices for something like them on Etsy. I figure time + materials but then you have to figure in selling costs as well.
