Order Up !!

I've been sewing away on a nice size order {15} of my

drawstring jewellery pouches

My customer chose black crushed velvet/black satin linings.

Next project will be a bag with a boxed bottom and a

small velvet shopping bag.

I'm so excited to be making some serious money again!

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy creating and giving

but it drives me crazy having to ask hubby for money.

Wish me luck on this journey.

Does anyone have an inexpensive way of making "nice looking"  tags?

OR

A suggestion for an ink that would stamp well on fabric or ribbon?



FREE FABRIC !

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth...yet! I've been busting my buns to complete an order for my Drawstring Jewellery Pouches.

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT!!

Just what is it you're offering, Carolyn, for

FEBRUARY'S GIVEAWAY?

{ scroll back to Monday, Feb. 7th }

I'm so glad you asked!

How about one of these

DRAWSTRING JEWELLERY POUCHES?!

They are so stinkin' cute at only

1 3/4" in diameter at the base and 1 3/4" high.

Even so, they still have 5 compartments for all kinds of rings & things.

A great way to keep your treasures from getting scratched and damaged.

The center one, red roses, is abit bigger at 2 1/2" in diameter at the base

and 2 1/2" in height but once again 5 compartments.

I've started to put these little pouches into my Etsy shop.

I say started because it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to download the pics on

 { gulp }

dial-up.

I strongly dislike dial-up, I hate it !

Have a great day!!

-35C with a Barbeque!

 

Yes! You read it correctly, -35C! Again! Can we say brrrrrr!!

No matter, we Canadians are a tough people!

What do we do in this kind of weather?

We drag out our bbqs and set up by the pool...

Are these fantastic or what?

I won these a couple of weeks ago  from

Creative Chicks

The moose came to me from

SEW FRESH FABRICS

They were used for a block that will be included in a quilt for the Linus Project!

This is my finished block heading back to
Peg & Becca

Can't believe I'm finished already but it takes at least 2 weeks travel time,

one way.

Speaking of travel...

This week was mine! Oh Boy!!

~

Believe it or not but this is suppose to be a travelling jewellery pouch!
Yeah, a little on the large side me thinks!!

So I turned it inside out and found a jelly bean container that is clear and fits in just perfect. Now I've got a place to put sewing supplies.

I've been trying to get the measurements figured out for the proper finished size of a jewellery pouch. Well the first attempt rendered a very mini size.
There are 5 compartments in this mini.

 All well and fine but too easy to misplace during travel I thought or if you had larger pieces to store.

~

Back to the drawing board and with some refiguring and
voila!

All in all everything turned out OK with these and I even have a few extras!
I think this could call for a...


stop back tomorrow!!


I know, I'm a tease.

On another note I was in contact with the
