Spring Forward.....

First I must say Thank you Thank you Thank you to my bootcamp bunkie!!  Semper Fab is now International and I have customers from Sweden and New York, New Jersey, Texas and Indiana.  Not to mention my loyal friends and customers here in the Last Frontier.

It was a gorgeous sunny morning, I let Chloe outside to go potty and she about backed into the house.  I checked the temp and it was -8 degrees outside. Brrrr hurry Chloe you're gonna freeze out there.  It's that time of year and the days are longer, the sun is shining and the snow just gets deeper..... Well two out of three is not too bad.   Keep pushing those snow piles back to make room for more snow.  On a good note: as long as it snows:

Things are Semper Fab at Semper Fab Designs.  I definitely can't complain and I am having so much fun sewing.  I must say though how many book bags does one College girl need??   It seems like every time I post a big bag my daughter says "Mom can you make one like that for me?"  She replies "I can have one for every class then.  LOL"

On another note, we went to the local gun show at the Fair Grounds this weekend.  We have quite a few of them there gun shows up here.... :-)   Gotta love it cuz I love to shoot.   Once a Marine always a Marine!!   Well, I have my own weapon (or do I call it a gun now) of choice, but lately I have been missing something.  After the gun show and looking at all the AR-15, P90's, and not to mention the FNF2000.    We've got a few choices laying around here and the glock is fun, the shotgun gives me bang for my buck and if I am feeling a little Gunpowder & Lead I pull out the old 4570.  But I do love the good ol AR-15.  Ok you ask what does this have to do with my passion of sewing.  Well it's my other favorite "S" word ....."Shooting."

Yep, I think I am going branch out.   I noticed this morning that my husband and son have added a department to my Semper Fab Designs...."FAR"  What is that....I ask.  My son says for the rifles you are building.   FAR = Fabulous Assault Rifles.   I had to laugh.  Too funny but I do LOVE IT!!!  So I guess I have my summer project.  Parts are on order and got my FFLs in line and just waiting for parts to arrive.  I am so excited about the Summer!!!  Gonna be exciting this year.   Now we definitely need to add range time to the itinerary for our visitors this summer.   For those who feel upset about this.... no worries guns aren't bad it's the person behind it you need to worry about.   We have combined over 50 years of Military Weapons Training and LEO.  I have even had one of the most challenging and rewarding job of being an Instructor for Women on Target.  "Excuse Ma'am, PLEASE don't swing that gun around, place it down on the ready bench...I know it's not loaded but treat every weapon as if it were."  Sighhhh..... But I must mention that same lady(s) who were swinging and scared were confident and in control after training.    

Hey Bunkie......have I convinced you to get up here and visit yet?  What else could you ask for a bag and a bullet.   Hey I will give you a bag of bullets when you get up here.   How does your arm feel?   Twist Twist.  

So all in all things are going well, check out the store at  http://www.etsy.com/shop/SemperFabDesigns or go to link below.

PS  I know I need to get the design going for the CC bag and I will get a kindle fire case out in the next day or so.  

Thanks everyone for supporting me.  

Semper Fab!

  1. Chica... you are so fabulous! I remember how it broke my heart when my hard-charging sister, who could do anything in our Beloved Corps, was a bit hesitant about starting this business.

    Here it is a year-ish later and you again remind me that MARINES CAN DO ANYTHING!!!

    You absolutely rock!

    Semper Fi and Semper Fab!
