Read my guest post, My soul was telling me to sew, by clicking here.

Last night was such a productive evening for Gussy! Yeow :)
My friend that helped me get my job here in Minneapolis, Nikki, came over after work {we work at the same company}. She sewed on my machine while I cut fabric. And Tweeted. And checked my email. And then cut more fabric, hah!
I am so proud of myself. I have outside fabric cut for 27 pieces! Yeowwwwww. I think that is my largest batch ever sewn. Now I know I’m not anywhere near done: I still have to cut the inside fabric, the interfacing, the ruffle. Then everything needs to be ironed and pressed. Then I can start sewing.
BUT I’M SEW EXCITED! I’ve been waiting for over a month to work with my new Heather Bailey fabric. The time has finally come :)
My shop is so low in stock. Ick. Hoping to have that taken care of very soon. Like by this weekend, soon.
I’ve got fabric cut for larger zipped pouches, medium zipped pouches, and small zipped pouches. I suppose I should cut out some wallets, yes? OK, now I am talking to myself. As if I don’t talk enough, I have to talk to myself?!
Whatever…
Gorgeous! I can’t wait to see these with a signature Gussy ruffle:
Also, last night I kept on my Gussy tags. Funny how if I let them sit for a long time they still don’t make themselves… Oh well. They are cute, and fun to make:
Looks like I caught myself {and my pajamas!} in this photo:
My MIL made this for me for Christmas. An official Sweat Shop sign, made from an old family quilt that was falling apart {Zack’s great grandma’s, I believe}.
I need a little shelf on the wall so I can set this babeh proudly up on it:

Nephews! Oh how I miss thee. Target made this bib just for me {!!!}.
I know it :)
These little boys are the cutest little boys I know. Here, Collin is wearing a super hero cape from Grandma & Grandpa. Jack has a red one. OMW, precious! Jack’s cape is a little long and almost touches the floor. He needs to grow into it still :)
Collin is so interested in camping, hiking, and all things adventurous! Ask him to tell you a story and he will light up. He loves to share his imagination with you. One night while at my parents, Collin had his new sleeping back out on the floor. He was laying in it and I told him, I bet Aunt Maggie can fit in that.
No you can’t, you’re an adult!
Yes, I am. But I’m also small. I bet I can fit in there… Get up and let me try?
…Turns out Aunt Maggie can fit in Collin’s sleeping bag. It must have been exactly 5’4″ though, because my toes were snug against the bottom seam :)
See Collin, Aunt Maggie may be an adult, but she’s a tiny adult. Hah!
