a coffee pot & an iphone

Isn't my new model wicked cute? I made her myself...& the dress of course!

Who knew that the missing puzzle piece in my life was the all essential coffee pot. On a typical day Mr. Momi will stroll into my sweltering shop to iron his shirt for work & ask...did you even go to sleep? (not sweltering anymore..our ac is finally fixed & suddenly fall has set in) I have many many customers as well who question my sleep..or lack thereof. To anwser the pressing question...not much! I do put my heart, soul, & every waking moment into momi boutique so to make my life easier & make better use of my time I have indulged in some "things" to fuel my fire. Coffee pot...now replaces my 5 hour energy drinks...
iphone....not sure how I lived without this before. A terrific invention to say the least! I will know your every questions/concern/& comment anywhere, anytime of the day. I don't even have to get up from my sewing machine to check my mail..now that has be hands down the most lovely thing of all!
And to top the charts I decided it was time to crank it up a notch. I realized that even after taking the girls to daycare I do not get any more accomplished than I do with them home. My machines do not have a "the girls are at daycare" button to make them go any faster....until now! I dragged my dad with me this past wednesday to Philly (yes, I am a chicken to go driving into the city myself) & splurged on an industrial sewing machine. Why I didn't have one of these babies sooner is a question that is beyond me! Basically I am a control freak with Momi & can not bring myself to allow anyone else to sew your orders..which is actually a good thing. But, at 2000 stitches a minute...this machine is faster than a cheetah & scares me. Honestly, the machine is a power house & gives me anxiety just being within 5 yards of it. One day it & me will see eye to eye...


New designs coming to Momi boutique soon... :)

Oh my gosh does that machine come with safety goggles?! Don't sew your fingers together while you're checking your email on your iPhone! I know what it's like to have a staple in a finger .....oh and also a bunch of them in my foot. You wouldn't know anything about that though would ya, hehe ;-)
