JULY 2013

Spending the month of July filling orders and making new items for a fall show.  Feels good to be working at the machine again.  Hope to have a Newsletter ready for late August with my Fall Class Schedule.  In the mean time, if anyone is interested in a specific class, feel free to email me at  info@stclairoriginals.com   Have a great summer....and check out my updated websites....some are still being worked on:)    www.stclairoriginals.com    www.arttowearoriginals.com     www.topstitchdesigns.com   (check out Linda's fabulous purses)   www.missrosebeary.com  (bringing my children's line back for fall)

The rest of the bins and boxes will have to wait until this old body heals before they get unpacked.  We will have to live with plastic bins decorating every room in the house until some more of the fabric is used up.

Good to be ready to sew again this week!

Well the move is over and we are EXHAUSTED!  I hurt where I did not know there was a place to hurt.  We are over run by bins and boxes....BUT I did manage to find some places on the floor for the bins that were on the bed, so at least we can sleep in the bed tonight.........

Now if I can just get the bins of fabric out of the kitchen tomorrow.  Can't wait to get back to sewing.

The good news is that the toe is healing well-there will be no surgery.  The bad news is 3 more weeks in the fracture cast.  The good news is that the fracture boot protects the break.  The bad news is that I have hit the same foot in the same place several times, but the boot saved the day!

One week left to finish the move and clean out the shop.

Hi Ya'll....well the shop is closed and I am in the process of getting rid of stuff and moving the rest to the home studio.....we won't tell the orthopedic surgeon that I am walking on this broken toe-but what else can I do.   Does anyone have an interest in my big cutting table?  It is 36 X 84" but can be cut down.  It is mounted on two saw horses that are screwed to the top.  It could be cut down and the saw horses moved inward.  I am asking $ 10.00 for it.  The only other thing not sold are the two 4-arm and one 3-arm chrome dress racks, a gold color fancy (large)  tripod for displaying a sign or picture, and a card table.  These items are FREE, but you need to call me right away or email.  There are still a few bolts of apparel fabric that are $ 1.00 per yard.

Thanks and big hugs to all my wonderful customers since 1996 to now.  Hope to hear from some of you now and then.  Also remember that if you have a question you can post it hear or e-mail me and I will be glad to offer my advice.

I will still send out my NEWSLETTERS.  The next on will be emailed in late June.

As soon as things get done with the move, I will start posting my weekly sewing and quilting tips on this  Blog.
