A crafty summer...

So I haven't been really updating this summer. It's been crazy, so I'm hoping to bring you up to date on what I've been up to.

Yup, that's it. That's all I can show you for now. All the other stuff has been items I'm working on for my girly spazms etsy shop, which is due to open in a couple weeks. It's been slightly delayed because as I prepared items to sew one late night, and cut out all the patterns. I sat down at my sewing machine ready to go, and then bleh! Nothing. I fiddled with it forever, and finally decided it was actually time to take it in for that long put off servicing. Keep in mind, my machine is over 10 years old, and I only started really using it the passed 2-3 years.  Yeah.. yeah.. I asked for it.
So as it sits in the  repair shop, I've been looking seriously into getting a serger. I mean, I've looked into it before, and had an idea of what I've wanted but the passed week, and Labor Day weekend I've been hunting one down to a point where I had a migraine, and was completely fed up with looking for one. 
I flip-flopped on getting a decent "starter" serger/overlock VS getting a higher end version.
And finally, as I looked on ebay, I came across one that I think will be just fine. 
I'll blog again when I get it, and have it set up. I may even broadcast in my craft studio, something that I've been meaning to do, but haven't gotten around to doing.

Hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend... As for me, it wasn't as eventful as I had hoped. I basically worked all weekend. Housework, or worked on crafting projects. 
So my Labor weekend, was full of Labor. Go fig! 
Now, it's time to get into the full swing of the school year, and work mode. Bye-gye summer. Oh how I'll miss you. Til next year...

 Goodnight for now!
