Treat Yo Self
Hi friends! How is the summer/winter going? Can you believe we're at the tail end of July already? As usual time seems to be zooming by lately. No disrespect to those of you that love summer and it's hot weather, I am not a fan.
I think about how I used to just blog away about nothing in particular, like scissors or Trader Joe tamales for lunch, of about coffee. I miss it. I have been thinking about the scissors and thought it might be fun to write about it. Its easy to post a picture on instagram and say look at my new scissors but then I couldn't tell you how much I like Minki's you tube videos and all her pretty pictures, maybe you'd like them too. In the mean time I do love seeing everyone's photos on IG, so I'm sure I'll see you there, and maybe post a picture of my scissors. But we'll both know the real story. Treat yourself friends, to a walk outside, a breath of fresh air, a cup of coffee and some sewing or some pretty scissors. You're worth it. xop

Sloan Zone
Good morning! I'm up with my first cup of coffee enjoying the cool air before it really warms up here. These hot summer temps are normal for us but I know a lot of you are in hotter than normal weather and I'm hoping you stay cool and hydrated.

Goose on the Pond
Hi there! How's the weekend?
I've heard that after a lot of delays, Fat Quarter Shop is finally able to show the Geese on the Pond projects we all started last year!!! I had an Instagram post from November 7 to show off my fabric selection! I barely remember it! I love their Classic and Vintage series and I'm always excited to be invited to participate.

What's up?
Some things are new to me. A month or so ago I started helping out over at the Quilt Show Store taking photos of incoming goods. So many pretty things, it's a little like working in a brick and mortar shop again. This was just a little corner of the table of things I took pictures of recently. It's nice to get out of the house and see people even though most of the work takes place here at home on the computer. The extra bonus is having a little more structure in my day to day, which has led to a tiny bit more productivity in the rest of my life. But just a tiny bit.

How to make a little box.
Hi there friends! So a couple of DM'd me on IG to ask me if I had a pattern for my cute little box and I don't. But trust me it's SO EASY you'll be amazed, and these not that great photos and the word salad that goes with them should be enough for you to make one too.
Ok, here we go. The box will measure about 7" x 4" x 4", I say about because your final box size is influenced by how well you sew, and you might sew a lot more accurately than I do, so your numbers could vary slightly.
You'll need your basic sewing supplies, two 12" squares of fabric, one for your outer box and one for lining. You'll need a 12" square of stabilizer, I used Shapeflex (Pellon SF101), but you probably have something laying around that will work just as well. This fabric is regular quilt weight and it's stiff enough to suit my fancy. I like how nice Shapeflex fuses to the fabric, I don't get that weird orange peel look that I sometimes get. You'll also need about 28 inches of large rick rack. It takes less, but you want enough to have a nice joining area. I pressed my fabric with a generous amount of spray starch so it's nice and crisp.
RECAP... Two 12" squares of fabric, one 12" square of stabilizer, and rick rack. Seams are 1/4 inch unless noted.

One track mind
Hi there! I'm back at it with the boxes. You probably already saw these on Instagram, but I love it so much I had to blog about it. I'm thinking of making a little blog tutorial, what do you think? I had some people contact me asking if it was a pattern. It isn't, it's just something I made. The original one that Frankie wanted was more like this. Like I said I didn't remember making the old one at all.

Welp, now it's May
So how are things with you ? Not much going on here in PamKittyVille. I haven't felt much like sewing anything big lately, just working my way through a bunch of small fun projects. All the little bags are from Jean at Little Mint Designs. Super fun to make. Perfect for some hand sanitizer and maybe a lip balm. I couldn't stop making them, this is just a few of them. (now I've done something so that this photo isn't in the center and I can't fix it and I'm not trying anymore, sorry. Sometimes it's just TOO MUCH.)

Little Camellia Pouch
Good morning friends! Sitting here having my coffee, it's sunny out, its going to be nice weather for a few days, but the mornings are still pretty chilly. It feels familiar to sit here with my morning coffee, it's my old early morning routine.
Surprise, I finished my first Little Camellia Pouch! I love it! I think the fabrics worked, the colors in that Lori Holt fabric ( I don't remember which collection but it's recent) has all the colors of the Kokka Message for You fabric. I see it's sold out at Sunny Day Supply but there are some similar Kokka prints in the line still available.
