My Big Christmas Wish and Sale!

Hello! It’s been a while since I last posted, very busy this fall. I just completed making 10 containers for sewing kits for a customer; she will give them as Christmas gifts! Yay!

Velvet and Lace Jar Sewing Kit

 

 

Two New Creations!

I’m enjoying a rainy Saturday on the 2nd of September, doing laundy, bringing a few cool weather garments in from garage storage and taking a few warm weather garments out. A nice day to relax and putter! I’ve been hired to sew two tunics for a customer to wear at work, so I may do a bit of sewing on the first one later on.

Here is a lovely little shoulder bag I made recently; the outside is a soft, moss green velvet remnant from a friend who makes drapes and pillows and the lining is another remnant I had in my stash.

Also upcycled an ice cream container with this pretty linen scrap with yellow flowers. EnJoy!

 

Custom Order Completed

One of my first sewing customers this summer hired me to transform an old doll into a fairyfor his magic show.  He loves her new outfit and is delighted with my work! Here are before and after photos. EnJoy!

A Lovely Treasure Box

Today I finished embellishing this treasure box, made from a recycled cardboard tube. I created the bottom and the lid from circles of mat board scraps, and added a rim to the lid made from paper adhered to cardstock. I learned that paper does not like curling, at least not without a few creases! Perhaps next time I’ll try steam ironing the paper before curling to see if that helps.

EnJoy the treasure box!

A Pretty Tag and a Dream

Yesterday I made this lovely tag, using a sheet of paper that I downloaded from Gi Kerr’s Happiness in Crafting group, of which I’m a member. Thank you Gi! I love these beautiful blues and images!

This one is double-sided, as are most of my tags. EnJoy!

Many of you know that I’m longing to have a Dream Box to organize all my art supplies in. On the 15th I’m driving about an hour away to visit a friend who owns one so I can get a feel for it in person and take measurements with doors open. I’m also running a fundraiser to manifest the money so I can purchase my own Dream Box. I love donations! Please go to this link to donate whatever you can. You’re also welcome to purchase some of my art for the cause. Thanks!
