A few cards


Pin ItI made a few cards today for the first time in a long time!!  I miss stamping-once all my sewing is done, I really need to get back at it.  These cards took me far to long to come up with-and I had help from Pinterest!!!  Anyhow, all stamps are by Stampin Up!  I especially love the coffee cups.

Crayon Wallets

Pin ItSo, my first fair starts this Friday at Christmas at the Forum.  I have a selection of infinity scarves, a few bibs and baby minky blankets available.  Now, I'm starting prep for the next fair on Nov 23-24.  It is the Holiday Fair with the East Coast Momma Collective and will have 3 event times (includes a Saturday night market).  I figure I will need a large amount of product, and so I just finished up 15 more crayon wallets today-it took me 3 days from start to finish!!!  There is a lot involved in making these, but they are just so cute.


That, is a good feeling!!

Back to my roots

 This is how it all started....making a chenille blanket for a friend's new baby.  And then I decided to start making them to sell-and these will be on display at Christmas at the Forum.

 Love these giraffes with the grey polka dots.

Pin ItAnd look at this lovely pile, just need to tag them and they are ready to go!

For the list makers in all of us..

 Finished up some list takers today-I used mine this summer for passport/boarding pass storage while travelling.  Keeping track of documents for the 4 of us is not always a simple task, and so it was nice to have everything tucked in one place.

Pin ItAnd a photo of the inside-it comes with a notepad and pen.
Linking up to The Needle and Thread Network today!

Cozy blankie...

 I'm on a roll these days!  Finished up another custom order for a large chenille blanket.  Mostly from the Aviary line by Joel Dewberry, which I love.
 I'm using a warm white chenille for the backing.  This is a pretty large blanket, I think around 56x56 when it's all finished.
Pin ItSo, that's 2 blankets down, 3 to go.  Well, possibly 5 more to go if my 2 daughters get their way and I make them each one for Christmas!

Time is ticking away...

Pin ItI finished up an order for some drawstring bags today and also decided to close for custom orders until January.  I'm finding it hard to balance orders, prep for upcoming fairs, and still have a life!!  Anyhow, I'm loving these owls-I bought the pattern from Jeni at In Color Order ages ago and I still enjoy making these bags.

Somebody stop me.....



Pin ItI just can't seem to stop myself from making these scarves-I mean I seriously have at least 50 in a bin in my craft room just waiting for the November fairs to start! Well, if they don't sell, I'm going to have some awesome accessories to wear this winter!!

Happy Friday!

Fall Plaids


Pin ItOn the advice of my fashionista sister, I've made a few plaid infinity scarves.  The response on my Facebook page has been very positive, so I guess another trip to the fabric shop is in order!  These are very cozy, and warm considering that it has gotten chilly here in the last few days!

Cozy tv watching blankie...

 I've had a custom order for 4 large blankets with chenille blankets for Christmas gifts-today I finished up the first one.  It has a warm white chenille backing, and lots of Joel Dewberry fabrics for the patchwork.
Pin ItI love how this turned out- I hope my client does as well!

Sharing this with Randi on her blog i have to say for Show and Tell Tuesday.

Working away...


 Chalkboard wallet that I made yesterday-needs to be adjusted slightly.  I think next time I will make the fabric wallet larger so I have room to topstitch instead of slipstitching the opening closed.
Pin ItSome fluffy, warm thrum mitts for the upcoming winter!  These were pre-ordered; so 2 pairs down, 3 to go!!

Birthday cards for Men!

Pin ItI had two birthdays to make cards for this month-one for my father and one for my brother-in-law.  It's not always easy coming up with masculine birthday cards to make, but in the end, I'm happy with these.  All stamps are Stampin Up!
 This card is for my Dad.
And this one for my brother-in-law who will turn 40 this month!  Hope everyone is staying dry on this rainy day!!
