Happy second day of Autumn:

Happy second day of Autumn:
It is once again the time of the year we dig into the back of our closet and drag out our winter clothes . If you like me and you have not been dieting, then it is not a big surprise that some of our winter outfits are one size to small.
After my emotional breakdown of shock, denial, and then finally anger, I was left with two choices to ponder upon. I can try dieting for the next two months and limit what I eat during the thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays, or I can buy new clothes and promise myself that my 2015 new year’s resolution is to lose 30 pounds. I pick limiting my eating habit and workout.
With a heavy heart, I gather all my one size to small winter wears and took inventory on each item. Once I finished taking inventory I head over to the good will store and hand over my winter clothes and they hand me a receipt for my one size to small winter wears . I know you are asking yourself why did I record all the items I am giving away? The reason I took inventory is to claim itemized charitable donation on my next year income tax. So all is not lost.
For my son winter wear, I have started sewing his flannel pants. His pants are so super easy to make, It took me about one hour to complete his first pair of pants. I have two more pants to complete however, I am also working on building my Christmas inventory for black Friday sale and Christmas sale. As a result, it might take me a bit longer to start sewing his second and third pants. Here are some pictures of his pants and a picture of one of Christmas pillow in my Etsy store https://www.etsy.com/shop/Cgmcdesigns.

Let me know what you think?

Thanksgiving Wishes Learn, Live and Plan

    Thanksgiving is almost here and many of us will be spending thanksgiving with our family or friends. Let us take the time to reflect back in our lives and give thanks to many wonderful or not so wonderful things that happen to us during the year. For without those leaning experiences we will not have grown to become who we are today.  For some of us, our leaning experiences have strengthen our spiritual faith,  while for other it  helped us to become  wiser and knowledgeable .  Always remember to love your neighbor as yourself. As a wise person once said, lean from the past, live for the present and plan for the future.    

From  www.zibbet/cgmcdesigns  to everyone   Happy Thanksgiving. 

It is raining snowflakes

It is raining snowflakes is my newest Christmas cushion I created today.  I was intrigue by the color and the snowflakes designs of the material that I had to write about it.  The material bring back memory of me  sitting next to a warm fire place with a mug of hot coco in my hand and the  pillow nested comfortable  behind my head. I listening to Christmas carols and watching the snowflakes fall outside my windows. To capture that image and portrayed it in my cushion cover,  I added ruffle to give the cushion an old fashion but trendy look. With much ado, please enjoy my newest creation of Christmas cushion cover, it is raining snowflakes.
