DIY.. Girls Trip Swag Bags

in DIY Projects, Print On Fabric on 06/05/14

My husband gave me a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas. Until last weekend, it just sat and sat and sat in the box…

I was ignoring it on purpose. My husband would ask me “Um, what’s up..? That was an expensive present to just sit in the box… ” Truthfully, while I had yearned for this machine for EVER, I was intimated and overwhelmed by the thought of figuring it all out.

Girls Trip!! For months I had been envisioning using my Silhouette to create fun swag bags for our yearly girls trip.. This May, 13 of us were headed to Santa Barbara and I had “Hello Cali” on my brain.. With two days to go until departure, I plugged in the machine got to work making 15 bags. Lol. Nothing like a little pressure to get the job done…Right?

I bought the font and “hello” from the Silhouette online store.  Hello is from the artist Jillibean Soup and the font is from the artist Lori Whitlock. I LOVE how the bags turned out! The girls were surprised and very impressed. Here is my friend Sue goofing around for an Instagram pic by the pool. I am beyond hooked on this little machine.

We rented a house this year.  Let’s just say that we were a little giddy about the digs when we arrived.. Here are a few pictures. The 3rd pic down is the “pool room” and where I slept on bed large enough for 4 people.. It was a separate area detached from the house. Lol. Not too shabby, right?

Well, that’s it for today. Happy Sewing! Ps. You can now follow me on Instagram

    Very cool! Sometimes I procrastinate using new stuff too because it takes some brain workouts to get into them. Looks like a super cool tool now that you’ve figured it out though! And the house is gorgeous!

    I know exactly how you felt Marni. It took me 3 years to use my new Brother Innovis 80. I felt intimidated and wondering if I was going to be able to figure it out. Well, I’ve been working on it for about 2 months now, and I love it. I still feel I need some instruction (a lot of instruction) on this machine, which I will get free from the dealer. Maybe I’ll start going next week . . . we’ll see!!

      Lol.. Thanks for the email. It made my day. I want a new Janome sewing machine and am worried I will keep this super fancy machine in the box for a few months.. Have great week-end!

This photo popped up in my memories this morning. This photo popped up in my memories this morning. It was taken 3 years ago @bookhou store in Toronto. What a fun store Arounna has created.  I was so excited ( and nervous ) to visit the shop and see her designs.

Time flies and wow, how things have changed. I used to travel ALOT for work. In some ways, I miss those days of constant travel. While at the time it seemed as way too much travel and I missed my kids when I was away. Right now, what I would give to be traveling like I did then - places like Toronto, New York and Las Vegas. I always managed to get out and about and have a little fun on the side. Plus my old coworkers were fun, super goofy and so great to be around. They made the travel, trade shows and long hours easy to be with.
