Okay, I think I'm done. I made 24 bibs last night, a few more blankets and this morning ironed everything again. I may make a few more snack bags, but other than that I'm finished. Now, just to finish cutting paper for my 2 card classes on Friday and boy, that basement floor needs to be vacuumed! I think I should book a massage for next week or I'm going to look like the hunchback of Notre Dame......
I just received the Stampin Up! Stitched stockings and matching punch set and wanted to give it a try for my upcoming class next Friday. I have 5 other cards that we will do as well, but I'll keep those a secret until everyone has come and made their cards. Paper is espresso, teal and vanilla.
Today, I made a few chenille blankets for the upcoming craft show in Musquodoboit. I love this vibrant blue color of chenille, much more my style than pastel colors!! I'm linking this to WIP at Freshly Pieced today, especially since my sewing room floor is full of fabric cut and waiting to be sewed!!
I know I haven't posted in a week, but I really still have been sewing! I registered for another craft show, this time in Middle Musquodoboit, Dec 3rd and 4th. I decided to make some crayon wallets to sell for the first time and see what the response is. I know any child that I've given one to loves them. I had purchased the pdf pattern last year from JCasa handmade, the only thing I changed is the velcro closure instead of the elastic and button.
We were doing some reorganizing at my parents' house on the weekend, and she was getting rid of this little wooden box. I thought it may be good for a display item.
So, I painted it a grayish-blue color and discovered it holds crayon wallets perfectly!
I was in the mood to make one more card this morning, and I just love this image by Stamping Bella. There really is something special about enjoying a really good cup of coffee. Anyhow, I think there will be more cards featured on this blog from here until Christmas, I must get going on making my Christmas cards. I can't believe it's the 2nd week of November already!
It seems like it's been a long time since I've made any amount of cards, so today I decided to spend my afternoon stamping. The top card I will post in this week's Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella (Emily's theme is holiday cards this week, and I've always loved the minty coffee stamp).
I made this card following the latest sketch on the Sweetest Thing blog. I love this little stamp, so cute. (SSSC 142)
I decided late on Saturday to make one more girly blanket for the show. There is a lot of gender neutral/boy blankets but I needed some pink. So here it is, pretty simple just cut 6x9 rectangles and pieced them together. The backing is really soft flannel. Most of the fabric is My Mind's Eye by Riley Blake. I quilted the top to the batting, then just sewed the backing on. This way I eliminated having to do a binding so it made the blanket quick to complete. 
Burp cloths, flannel backing.
I bought this awesome handmade box at a store in Halifax called Rusty Hinges. I love this and look forward to adding to my collection of reclaimed wood products.
I made a few more eyeglass cases today, I'm hoping to have a good variety of colors/fabrics for people to choose from.
I'm still gearing up for the craft show I'm in on the Remembrance Day weekend in PEI. Today I made some eyeglass cases with some of my favorite fabrics and ric rac. I especially like the pink pompoms, I must find some more fabrics to match! There is ample room in the pouch, could be used for larger sunglasses as well. That's it for today!
