Sneeky Peek

Things are moving along here at Mama Roux. My home line is slowly but surely coming together. I plan to do the big debut on Friday, Oct. 1. Until then, here is a peek at a few of the items that will be in the shop at the end of next week! I also will have matching window valances, table runners, quilts and pillows. I want to make it easy and affordable to redecorate your home with the seasons! Holiday accents will also make an appearance, so stay tuned!

Folksy Flannels

I received this bundle of joy last week from Above All Fabric! I ordered it knowing that I would make a nice, big, comfy quilt for our family room. Winter is approaching after all!

Well, it's day six post-op for Eliza here at Mama Roux HQ. The vicodin is still being popped every four hours and Slurpees are still being fetched. She was not able to go to school today and most likely will not go tomorrow. Our goal is Wednesday, one week post-op, fingers crossed. No sewing has been done but lots of milkshakes and mashed potatoes have been whipped up and movies watched. Thank goodness for Jack (Little Muffin). He has made sure Eliza stays comforted by his love and warmth. Such a good doggie!

Gastro Hound is at it Again!

With his wry wit and clever assessment of the season's harvest, Gastro Hound offers a peek into his quirky, culinary world. Check it out!

Tapas plate and Mama Roux dish towels, a perfect pairing!

Away for the Day...

I will be away today, sitting and waiting while Baboo (daughter, Eliza) has her tonsils removed. I leave in my place a pretty image for which to gaze upon. Please send us your positive thoughts and energy. Now I must go don my Florence Nightingale uniform for my long day of duty!

A Few New Totes

This is a new shape for me, very angled and pointy. My daughter said the Paisley Pop Tote looked like a Dr Seuss bag, a little on the funky side. I can totally see it. Well, as Dr Seuss says "You're in pretty good shape, for the shape you are in". In the shop!

Friday addendum: Take a look at all of the beautiful creations over at Amy Lou Who's Sew and Tell and Quilt Story Fabric Tuesday. Some really gorgeous stuff, I'm telling ya!
