Porch Sale in the Barn – October 14 and 15

Only two more weeks until the second annual Porch Sale in the Barn!  It will be at the Little Herb House on Holland Church Rd in Raleigh, NC on Oct 14th and 15th.  Doors are open from 8am – 5pm on both days.

Porch Sale In the Barn

I participated in this sale last year and it was a lot of fun.  It will be much larger this year since we have more space and more vendors will be participating.   I am in the midst of getting my stuff together for this year’s sale and I hope to put some teasers on the blog in the coming weeks.  Just to whet your appetite, here are some pictures from last year’s sale.

National Sewing Month!!

In case you missed the press release, September is National Sewing Month!  I guess this is a good time to celebrate sewing since summer is over, the kids are back in school, and you have more time to sew (plus you have to start working on your Christmas gifts).

To celebrate national sewing month, I am going to finish a few projects that have been sitting around for awhile.  I have a list of UFOs that keeps getting longer and longer and it’s time to take them more seriously! So in addition to the pattern design I am supposed to be doing, I am also trying to find some time for “fun” sewing.

What are your plans for National Sewing Month?  This is the perfect time to introduce a friend or relative to sewing – we need more converts!  This is also a great time to splurge on that fancy new machine you need (notice I said “need” not “want”).

Also, check out the Moda Country Fair blog hop.  It started yesterday and features projects from some of my favorite designers.  It’s a lot of fun to visit all these blogs and get some new project to eventually put into your UFO pile.
