After learning of my friend's sewing machine collection, I was thrilled when she offered me this vintage green machine.<br />
Not wasting much time, my niece and I hauled the Singer along with a handful of my products out doors for a whimsy, vintage inspired shoot. We didn't have much time to plan, but thanks to her creative mind we had it together in less than an hour I believe. <br />
A quick table out of crates and window shutter will do.<br />

This post is only about half a year late!<br />
I meant to do a post of my sewing studio for so long but it never quite came together as quickly as I had anticipated. So, with that said, come on in and take a look around as it is at the moment. This is the result after hrs of organizing.<br />
<br />
I do welcome the natural light streaming through the windows. <br />
Because the room was white to begin with, I decided to go with some white on white. White makes me happy. :)<br />
<br />
No this is not the way my studio looks like every day. Amazing how one can function in a chaotic/creative mess with materials on every surface but it's true and happens all the time. More stuff = more inspiration. ;) I enjoy having many projects going at the same time. I should do a post of what it is really like 95% of the time! <br />
<br />
That's it for today! I will be back again soon with another post...atleast I'm pretty sure it won't be a half year wait. :)<br />

First of all, check out these dress form mannequin pin cushions! Aren't they the cutest thing ever? A really great video tutorial on these at the <a href="http://www.thediydish.com/2011/10/season-4-how-to-make-a-dress-form-mannequin-pin-cushion/">DIY Dish</a>.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4eoFF06rQ3eY4iavGgm5QD4g_7cf0hNwurlYUfMeYuuze5fCJTrrY-GmPbKVvTkmF86yGlBhIz3fyNOirr_sQ7e7RdjKr8pagGc3X4x89e_xV-SSqYugrl5y5rYN2wgOZSiI-zA-2gaE/s1600/season4_episode1_1a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4eoFF06rQ3eY4iavGgm5QD4g_7cf0hNwurlYUfMeYuuze5fCJTrrY-GmPbKVvTkmF86yGlBhIz3fyNOirr_sQ7e7RdjKr8pagGc3X4x89e_xV-SSqYugrl5y5rYN2wgOZSiI-zA-2gaE/s400/season4_episode1_1a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678006376194627426" border="0" /></a><br />Who can resist making them? I adjusted the pattern for a slightly bigger dress form. So I've made two of these already for my new sewing space which by the way I hope to reveal in a couple weeks.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_1Jzx2tHims8c3-uMcnuUJwU-wn16_fzcPg2cMBJUKutDVQBiGq47z0ZZ1QzLfJ_YhnENUF6xxBhN7058qnjjpFe9rBm1tm-SpnTWFGVRPQFgJGzT4YvFuhLQK_2ZiAauKj4Yj30R4Ks/s1600/dressform.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 304px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_1Jzx2tHims8c3-uMcnuUJwU-wn16_fzcPg2cMBJUKutDVQBiGq47z0ZZ1QzLfJ_YhnENUF6xxBhN7058qnjjpFe9rBm1tm-SpnTWFGVRPQFgJGzT4YvFuhLQK_2ZiAauKj4Yj30R4Ks/s400/dressform.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678008495765162946" /></a><br /><br /><br />Alright now we're taking a step back in time-to the "beginning" of Rosella's Lane.:)<br /><br />It all started with this little girl and an amazing mother and sisters who taught her all about sewing, from hand stitching to machine sewing. Days were spent sitting under trees with applique/embroidery projects as young as 7 years old(grew up in Belize where it's hot and no A/C, so the shade of trees seemed perfect); we even had the privilege of Sunday school needle crafts. That's right :), then came the big project of making a quilt with my brother at about age 10! That one still brings a smile to my face whenever I think of it. We would fight over who got to use the sewing machine.<br />I always was proud of my work, maybe that's why I held on to these :) :<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2hKnpqbEeTuyx0G3kLjpg9N_cRQjo5bO_BLtLtEBxfCth-_3EXblbcUKXMmCAPZcXDSvj6lzTFq9g4YBxSznG1eb6_kaa4Hx5dmrJcZ40w3SHmx21vW-9ahG683AaW9dT0EVK8FAc3zc/s1600/needlework.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2hKnpqbEeTuyx0G3kLjpg9N_cRQjo5bO_BLtLtEBxfCth-_3EXblbcUKXMmCAPZcXDSvj6lzTFq9g4YBxSznG1eb6_kaa4Hx5dmrJcZ40w3SHmx21vW-9ahG683AaW9dT0EVK8FAc3zc/s400/needlework.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677286381098607122" border="0" /></a><br />At age 15, I started my own quilt which I happen to use all the time! With a huge move away from family at the age of 21, I needed a hobby to keep myself busy, so I invested in my very first sewing machine and the result was countless baby quilts and blankets which mostly ended up as gifts to other moms with newborns as I wasn't ready to sell at the time, although the thought did cross my mind.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YKZC1vCYGLI/TsnUa1nFH4I/AAAAAAAACJI/_-6M1FG_dJ4/s1600/baby%2Bquilts.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YKZC1vCYGLI/TsnUa1nFH4I/AAAAAAAACJI/_-6M1FG_dJ4/s400/baby%2Bquilts.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677302362809900930" border="0" /></a><br />Now I feel so blessed to be a mother and able to stay at home with our two little boys. I want to be open to the Lord's leading and as long as He allows me and our boys are happy, I enjoy creating things to add to my Etsy shop. I have my husband's full support and thoroughly enjoy the evenings when he sits next to me and helps with creating the shabby rosettes designed by me for the beautiful strap covers and CD packaging. :) <br />After all these years, I am once again privileged to have my mom help me with my projects. Only this time I tell her what to do;)she delights in helping me with my orders. So very blessed to have her. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKYjOeVBM5VGaid49NRd1PZyG_PTOyzLz-QtjHqk5hXCqivPNgVEBOiLA5EapSurhMcMREQDWO66qty03avQSzZZvfbeyaMMCMyzsPJvgTCTSXxEHGEtsJzwm9l6Y1iUDlPHsUfZg4G_8/s1600/Untitled-3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKYjOeVBM5VGaid49NRd1PZyG_PTOyzLz-QtjHqk5hXCqivPNgVEBOiLA5EapSurhMcMREQDWO66qty03avQSzZZvfbeyaMMCMyzsPJvgTCTSXxEHGEtsJzwm9l6Y1iUDlPHsUfZg4G_8/s400/Untitled-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677309207479050914" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />As I mentioned earlier on, we're working on a sewing space.

I've been wanting to make a baby<br />quilt/photo prop for a while but was simply waiting for some inspiration<br />to get me started! I fell in love with the diamond shape and wanted to<br />try them on a little quilt.<br /><br />I made the mint green quilt, and then felt the need to make another one<br />to perfect the pattern. The idea is so simple, but it does take some time<br />to work with those ruffles. ;)<br /><br />I enjoyed using the Fall morning sun for some of these shots.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ivDICbQSQTEek01m4lG3hxQV-VCfA1SEzNnPYULNfLHvt7ekgg_lfknulqwvVZI2pKPJhBBL049hWvQgWe3IUp-3c8hrGrzspJW-X1c_G5mA1DOESuLYRFQ4YP6v24t0vH4HimVAc4A/s1600/Untitled-1.1jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ivDICbQSQTEek01m4lG3hxQV-VCfA1SEzNnPYULNfLHvt7ekgg_lfknulqwvVZI2pKPJhBBL049hWvQgWe3IUp-3c8hrGrzspJW-X1c_G5mA1DOESuLYRFQ4YP6v24t0vH4HimVAc4A/s400/Untitled-1.1jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670092315763245330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ln2BGW1jryOd705UsZk8rRPqL25cF70nqSd88gq6TVDOBP6LpMCEaaPGrOcRVtWtIQjlThQKl6x-m7_0if_krCGFq5bI7t3JK1C0jdeu2QXSMfzNfspgypLbFVy1FcwgeIUNGbWaLJY/s1600/pink+diamond+copy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ln2BGW1jryOd705UsZk8rRPqL25cF70nqSd88gq6TVDOBP6LpMCEaaPGrOcRVtWtIQjlThQKl6x-m7_0if_krCGFq5bI7t3JK1C0jdeu2QXSMfzNfspgypLbFVy1FcwgeIUNGbWaLJY/s400/pink+diamond+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670092310932937074" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYJh8NJcAN6NrFjP-59PngriE3Ax3pRq8qii_RhsoaDwDTu-Vgzt4otXxkhWn6kjrTgixo-zuvGxk15Ww-10GtsIPmBhGUyFIIofbj2NV5l0XNeOkZPa8yZ2B5oMgicSkohoGFgkARcm4/s1600/070+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYJh8NJcAN6NrFjP-59PngriE3Ax3pRq8qii_RhsoaDwDTu-Vgzt4otXxkhWn6kjrTgixo-zuvGxk15Ww-10GtsIPmBhGUyFIIofbj2NV5l0XNeOkZPa8yZ2B5oMgicSkohoGFgkARcm4/s400/070+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670092315067024658" border="0" /></a>Rosellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09459095079020999822noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922380699885130340.post-3525742229006641082011-09-30T18:45:00.000-07:002011-09-30T19:40:10.686-07:00Sew a skirtThere's something about Fall and the urge to create! <br />My latest is a really fun, easy skirt.

<br />Our boys... they are such a blessing.
<br />
<br />I have these images in my head from when I was a child at my grand-
<br />parents farm, of tables with crisscross legs. First I whipped up a little bench,
<br />and then the table.

<br />Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the legs
<br />before they were nailed to the table.

<br />The boards underneath the table for added support.
<br />I was going to paint the legs black, add a different color and
<br /> then go about distressing the legs, but decided
<br />to stop after the black coat. It's different from what I would
<br />normally do but I like it!

I'm back from a fun-filled vacation. First off, we went to the Mexican Reviera with my husband's family for a long weekend,then from there continued south to Belize to visit more family. Having family in Central America gives us the opportunity to enjoy a vacation to the tropics once in awhile. We also realized how traveling is very educational for children and how it broadens their minds. We're looking forward to more traveling in the future! <br /><br />Simple comfy blouses=love. I was inspired by a dress I spotted <br />on <a href="http://www.shopruche.com/">Ruche</a>, and the idea <br />of making something similar ran through my mind for quite some <br />time. I went with the pillowcase dress idea but because I didn't<br /> use a pattern, you can find simple instructions <a href="http://www.clipwithpurpose.com/diy-pillowcase-dress/">here</a>. <br />For the DIY twisted rosette tutorial go <a href="http://www.ohhellofriendblog.com/2011/04/diy-friday_15.html">here</a>. My rosettes are usually<br />hand-stitched so that they're washable. :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf0DKsxhelPM30e5DW0zLPBX6r7KqcxV57Qgf-9V_-ywbmYueS7KYh4hJg4A0ZKq9ISAyCb786NGQ_Zb4w3jJNgDE8TaRvt9jRCPXv9tD8ltIR4e0LR-vmLIkoQ7NQbAZCTPgEfn3x0Wo/s1600/salmon+blouse.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf0DKsxhelPM30e5DW0zLPBX6r7KqcxV57Qgf-9V_-ywbmYueS7KYh4hJg4A0ZKq9ISAyCb786NGQ_Zb4w3jJNgDE8TaRvt9jRCPXv9tD8ltIR4e0LR-vmLIkoQ7NQbAZCTPgEfn3x0Wo/s400/salmon+blouse.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598441204869256674" /></a><br />Picture was taken on a tiny small island off the<br /> coast of Belize, called Caye Caulker.Rosellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09459095079020999822noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922380699885130340.post-87853782168596725532011-03-05T11:42:00.000-08:002011-03-05T12:21:05.189-08:00ruffle scarfI thought I would share this simple scarf idea.<br /> A friend of mine asked a while ago if I could <br />make her a ruffle scarf, and this is what I came up with!<br />After ripping 3 long strips of fabric(3 different widths),<br /> I ruffled them up individually with a zig-zag stitch. <br />Start with the widest layer at the bottom, then place the <br />next 2 ruffle strips on top of that and stitch them all<br /> together and you're done!

I hope to do another post soon but for now, head on over to <a href="http://networkedblogs.com/e66qA">Simply Rosie</a> where she's doing a give-away! She is an amazing photographer and a very dear friend of mine.

At the end I ran out of time to find good deals and ended<br />up buying a new curtain rod, as well as the material to make the bed spread,<br />bed skirt and a few of the pillows. I've been all over blogland collecting ideas,<br />so I'll be including links to the sites that I can.<br /><br />Here is the BEFORE.. we never bothered to invest in a bedroom suite but I'm<br />happy we didn't because we had an opportunity to get creative!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0kJwqhvimM/TTpTyE9Z-ZI/AAAAAAAAB9o/btnURKVZ8jY/s1600/misc%2Bnov%2B016.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0kJwqhvimM/TTpTyE9Z-ZI/AAAAAAAAB9o/btnURKVZ8jY/s400/misc%2Bnov%2B016.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564852409359530386" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUlqe1SVgTtyHtapUOrT1YtKloYl7GVlh-6OZGS7nibPRvxPprAC2tXJ7TZElU5ASotY5ZZHJI-VAX8B6xYJZbvmqC-h7R1NbCeLqcoloEPwTEvm7NgcN2DrtOKo2RgG_0PIFW7XUQ9M/s1600/misc+nov+013.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUlqe1SVgTtyHtapUOrT1YtKloYl7GVlh-6OZGS7nibPRvxPprAC2tXJ7TZElU5ASotY5ZZHJI-VAX8B6xYJZbvmqC-h7R1NbCeLqcoloEPwTEvm7NgcN2DrtOKo2RgG_0PIFW7XUQ9M/s400/misc+nov+013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564852418541014370" border="0" /></a><br /><br />AFTER<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUfI8kp06WnCAl9I30YqX4bjS5XROQLQ88bR5V76i1zONQKXh2D_31mKvwKNJcTZGBzneiQHnWx2j3Nn_F1PqE16IVXlGagjCl0y6dlaIn9qunCg4yM2CpilKj1Eu_aRjgD_5wZdYH2w/s1600/014+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUfI8kp06WnCAl9I30YqX4bjS5XROQLQ88bR5V76i1zONQKXh2D_31mKvwKNJcTZGBzneiQHnWx2j3Nn_F1PqE16IVXlGagjCl0y6dlaIn9qunCg4yM2CpilKj1Eu_aRjgD_5wZdYH2w/s400/014+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560596288172523426" border="0" /></a><br />Door to headboard idea I see everywhere I go, so might as<br />well join in. <a href="http://funkyjunkinteriors.blogspot.com/2009/11/bedroom-makeover-part-3-reveal.html">Funky Junk Interior</a><a href="http://funkyjunkinteriors.blogspot.com/2009/11/bedroom-makeover-part-3-reveal.html">s</a> has a very unique headboard.<br />She shows that anything goes!

This fall necklace/scarf/lariat arrived today! Awhile back I showed my sister-in-law a picture of a scarf that I adored, and in no time she whipped one up for me.
