Nothing gets a crafter more excited than going to a supply store and seeing miles of material…full of color, prints and patterns and finding all kinds of things to decorate your project with from buttons, thread, appliques, zippers, feathers, sequins, ribbon or rhinestones to jazz up your project. Friends and family get all excited when they see projects coming out of your creativity…this inspires them to say…sew me something. That is what we do at Its Sew Made. Click the link and take a peek. You might have to click through the display pictures for a few rotations before you can see all of the completed projects…as for some reason it repeats the beginning pictures three or four times.

Having started making fun crafts for an upcoming craft show in June, we started posting pictures of our projects on Facebook to see what people really responded to and wow…people have been really “liking” our page. We’ve made baby burp rags and crayon roll ups; but what people are really excited about are our hand-sewn purses, tote bags and diaper bags. We’ve done theme bags from autism awareness bags, to sock monkeys, to hero firemen purses, breast cancer awareness purses and childhood cancer awareness. These bags are custom made bow tuck and tote bags…there are so many possibilities to express the owners interests or passions when picking out fabric and colors. We also make zippered pouches. These are themes that have meaning to people and they are not only using them for educating others to a cause that is dear to them but also to add a touch of style and personality in what they carry on their shoulder everyday.

Today there will be news reports on the outcome of Senator Ted Kennedy’s brain surgery. He was scheduled to undergo brain surgery this morning at 9 am. Then he will be in the hospital for approximately 1 week. After the surgery he will be undergoing radiation and chemotherapy soon to treat the cancer. We wish him and his family well.
Also, it was announced that actress Tatum O’Neal was allegedly arrested in a drug bust over the weekend. She had been a competitor on an earlier season of Dancing with the Stars. She has admitted a past drug usage that played a part in her divorce from tennis star John McEnroe and custody of her children. This last couple of weeks has seemed volatile in the news.
Today, a music icon, Bo Diddley passed away at his home in florida from heart failure. He contributed much to the music scene in the early years of the rock and roll beat.
Fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent died…he had been ill for some time. He was 71 years old and is credited with making it fashionable for women to wear pant suits.
History was made in the allotment of delagates for Michigan and Florida. There was much brouhaha about who would get the opportunity to cast their votes. All of the delagates will get to vote however, their votes will each only count for half. No one is satisfied with this agreement…however, the only other obvious solution was being touted was to throw out their votes…that too, was unacceptable. So, the democratic convention is penalizing Michigan and Florida for having their primaries earlier than the democratic party condoned.
This week proves to be no less traumatic than last week. Stay tuned!

For those of you considering piercing your body parts…it would be wise to heed the words of a young man who is now hospitalized with a MRSA infection. A Missouri teen pierced his lip with an un-sterilized needle that he found in a medicine cabinet.
A few days later he found sores on his body and was achy all over. He has been diagnosed with an MRSA infection that is resistant to antibiotics. The doctors have said that the infection has spread thoughout his whole body. He wants to get the message out to others not to do what he did because of the consequences.
Fitting in with your peers by piercing your body parts without proper medical guidance can cause more than one problem. Unsterilized utensils can cause hepatitis, aids, or antibiotic resistent infections that can jepardize your life and your health. Be informed and make smart decisions…if you still desire to be pierced talk to your doctor first.
