Tinkerbell Tote

So last week was an absolute bust for anything creative coming out of my sewing room,
 I was in a major bummer of a state- of- mind.
I spent part of a morning tearing apart a stacked coin quilt top I'd made a couple of years ago.
It was one of those "What was I thinking" kinda quilt tops,
if you know what I mean?
{I hope I'm not the only one who has one or two of those projects!}
 Maybe it's the snow,
 or the cold { -42 this AM },
 or it could be the inability to get to a fabric shop for over 6 weeks.
 I don't know exactly

 but I think I could be coming out of my mood!

VOILA!!




  I've had this Tinkerbell fabric for sometime now,
I just couldn't come up with right idea for it until yesterday.

It's 7" high, fully lined with a heavy interfacing for stability.

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER

What's that?

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!!

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


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...

BOO!! trick or TREAT?!

                                         
                                                                                
                            Once again my kiddos were the inspiration for another project. 

 
The room they have is seriously lacking storage space of any kind.
Storage for little things, their collectibles and such.


I won this fiendishly fun fabric last year from Quilt Taffy !

I was abit stumped as to what to do with it until now...


TADA!!
{ sorry for the crappy pic }

These are fantastic storage posckets to hang on the wall.
I was too anxious to get a pic posted so I'll get a better shot later today.

ALSO

The TREAT!!
FEBRUARY'S GIVEAWAY!!

Check yesterday's post  for a cute giveaway that any traveller could use!
