Yeeps! September is speeding by, and we have been busy, busy, busy in my part of the world! After two full days of travel back and forth to Idaho, I'm certain that Poking People with Needles should definitely be allowed. Sheesh! I admit to being a bit grumpy with fellow travelers, especially when I WAS RUNNING! (think Forest Gump here) from one concourse to another to catch flights. Hmph. I felt like I could have run all the way to Idaho faster than I was able to get through the crowds of people! Ha! Anyway, Poking People (which sounded really good last week 🤣) is on sale now, and you can find it here!

We've got some new sales for you this week! Little Bits includes fabric bins labeled Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White, Yellow, Fabric, Trim, and Thread. Phew! They look so pretty in my sewing room holding all my bits of stuff. They are on sale here.

My Mom and Stepdad are still here in South Carolina, and Mom and I enjoyed some Sew Girly time in Columbia with a side trip to Ulta. Is it bad that I haven't bought new foundation since before I moved here? I feel like a new woman, and now I'm all set for another 5 years! Ha ha...

Anyway, I'm using my Sew Girly case to hold all my new war paint - I mean makeup, and if you'd like to make this pretty, zippered case, it's on sale here.

I felt so pretty with my new makeup covering my sun kisses (aka age spots), until I realized that I didn't have my cheaters on, so it's not that they're covered - I just can't see them!! 🤣🤣🤣 Good thing I keep my readers in my Sew Old eyeglass cases, else I probably wouldn't remember where they are!

Sue Powell won the Sew Old set last week, and she said this case will come in handy for her, too! Congratulations, Sue! If you didn't win it, it's on sale here.

While I was searching through my bins of goodies for my makeup case, I was sew delighted to find this pretty placemat! I had completely forgotten all about it. I know you're making an age related joke in your mind right now. It's OK - so am I!

The Sew Sweet Placemat, which comes in three large hoop sizes, is finished in the hoop, and it comes with two tasty coasters, too! It's on sale here, and it will look so pretty under your Thanksgiving deserts!

While you're in a Thanksgiving mood, whip up a pretty tea towel to go with the Sew Thankful design! It's on sale here, and congratulations to Donna Theobald, who won this design last week!

Kim Alston won the $10 Gift Certificate, and the Pumpkin Placemat Kit went to Jan Krontz! This fall placemat is on sale this week, too. Click here to find it.
