60s design

I've been working on a new design. I am using a Keyka Lou pattern and modifying it to a picture I have of a 1960s purse. I have my first one finished. I think I love it... Any feedback is appreciated.... I am wearing my slouch around the house cleaning clothes but am so lazy I wouldn't change for the pic....So, I am hoping the purse is so beautiful that the surroundings are not even noticable:)

1972 on its way

OOOOH... A 1972 Spencers catalog coming my way. I love these old catalogs. I already have a 1969 Sears one that I think I have memorized by now..So, I was in need of a new one:) Look at that bed spread....I wish I could really order items out this catalog...I would take the pants in the upper right corner ... I always have been soooo stylish....Ha Ha

Lima Bean Diarrhea

My daughter and I love lima beans. I have been wanting to make this lime bean loaf recipe for awhile now. I thought it would look great, like a meatloaf but limaloaf. ....but it turned out more like lima mush...It tastes great but try and get a 3 year old to eat something that looks like diarrhea....Not going to happen...

I have loved having a few days off of sewing. Infact, I have been wanting to sew a little but am holding myself back...until after xmas.

I hope all of you have better food than we do today:)

Wowzers

I can't believe it's been this long since I last posted. I have been so busy with holiday sales...I sometimes wonder if it's worth it. I closed my shop for a few weeks to get caught up and do some of my fun projects.... I really want everything made in my shop out of love not necessity.. I also have been wanting to make some resin jewelry for friends for xmas...

Half Tote Purse

A new design for me. A half tote purse. More sturdy and elegant but with the same concept of a tote bag. It closes with a magnetic snap. I really like them. What do you think?

Girl Robin

Halloween costume #2 done. Yaaaaa. I made her shirt (peasant style) out of cotton and the rest out of felt like her brother. All I can think from looking at these pics is poor girl got her mamas hair...Thin, fine and unmanageable....:(

Sweet Holland

This really sweet girl from Holland did a post about my mini's. She has a really cute blog. Check it out.

1 Down, 1 To Go

Batman and Robin. I have Batman done. I went with felt this year for 2 reasons. Cheap and Easy. I made the mask out of thin foam. Not too shabby for a few dollars spent:)

50 design/modern flair

A new purse design. The pattern is from the 50s....I love them.

Bride of Frankenstein

I can't believe it has been a month since my last post. I have made some wallets out of the vintage fabric. I am working on one of the prints from the 80s. I found some cute 80s charms to hang from the zipper. I have also been working on this zipper pouch key chain. I have been trying to get some feedback on them.

Vintage Fabric Find

I went to this thrift store and noticed these huge trash bins of fabric. I think I spent a total of $1.75. I found some totally 80's fabric. One reminds me of the movie TRON. And for the best, I found this big bag at the bottom...it was full of sample fabrics...I am thinking from the 60's. It is the perfect size for 1 mini wallet. I must have about 75 different pieces, and some have the names still on them....What a find...It was probably sitting there for months...:)

My BAG

I was getting tired of PINK...So, I was excited to start a bag for myself....I love it. Again the pattern required hand sewing the inside...BLAH..There has to be a better way? I did put a huge obnoxious sequence letter on my friends diaper bag pocket but forgot to take a pic.. It looked great.

The Bag to Match....But Pocket Unfinished.

I bought a new Simplicity Pattern on Sale w the cutest bags on it. My friend picked this one out to match her Diaper Clutch. The outside looks so great but the pattern required a lot of handsewing inside the bag which I can't stand. So, it has a few issues...I think it is still usable...but would redo the directions of the pattern if I remade the bag. Who makes these directions...? Anyway, the pocket does not looked finished to me...I was thinking of ironing on a Big Monogram embroidered letter...What do you think...too cheesy?

Third ones a charm :)

Finished the 3rd and last diaper clutch. They were fun but I am glad to be moving on. I am definetely not in baby mode anymore....I think this one is my fav...definetely my style. Hopefully, the new mommy will like it too.

Diaper Clutch #2- Spiderman

I love this spiderman print....I have been waiting for a boy so I can make something out of it.

Cupcake Diaper Holder and Wipe Case

I have been wanting to desing a diaper holder. I have 3 very pregnant friends in need of one. I prettied the wipe case too just for fun. It was a fun project. I was going to line it with somethink leak proof but was having a hard time finding some liner I liked.:)

NO sewing - cutting and ironing.

My son wanted skateboard curtains. I looked online and could not find anything I liked or could afford...But by chance we found some old potterybarn sheets at GoodWill with skateboarer boys on it...Sooooo, I cut them out and fused them to his curtains...Not bad for $1.99 :)

Summer Time

I decided to slightly change my design inside the mini's. So, I have been busy remaking 55 wallets and slowly uploading new pics. I only have 12 left to do. I feel like I am not getting much done. I have so much new fabric that will have to wait. It's summer time and my son is home, which is so fun. I have to change priorities to playing lego batman and no sewing. I am also helping my hubby do his homework at night (which is usually my sew time). So, sewing will be slow for awhile. :( I will have to live on seeing what all my friends make.

Taking a pic 101

I am finally figuring out how to take a pic....thanks for your help sis....

Again, with the fabric

I have so many projects in a pile waiting for me and what do I do? Buy more fabric. I went to this fabric wharehouse hole in the wall, where the customer service is horrible but if you dig around enough you can find some fun fabric. As you see above. I think I will hide it away for now, as not to get overwhelmed. ......:) I think I might have some kind of fabric obsession :)

Rings, Rings, Rings

I have been working on these fabric rings it seems like forever. Will I ever get them listed? :) I just don't have enough time ")

Display in a shop..:)

This is my first time displaying my goods in a shop. I tried to make something cute with no money :).....Hopefully no one notices....:)

Ms. Nesbitt

Okay...I took my name from this clip, just spelled differently...It is so funny everytime I watch. Don't we all have a few freak outs in our life..:)

rhinestone initials

I've been messing around w/ the rhinestones on mini wallets....:)

I cant find any nice looking letter initials, so I have been making my own. So much work but worth it...

My Boo Boos for today

I was loving this iron on guitar..button mini wallet......until I screwed up. Its functional but has a blemish on the inside fabric...Don't even ask,,,,Me, the wallet and super glued fingers only know :) The good news is that I get to keep the messed up ones...:) I get to keep a lot of them...

This one I thought was going to be so great. I found this purple glitter fabric and fell for it. The rockstar look. WELL...when I took a picture of the fabric it looks blue...but is not. It really is a great purple color. I don't know if the glitter is messing w/ the color...Yes, also it is hard to see the glitter in the fabric from the picture. I tried indoor and outdoor w no success....:( Any suggestions?

Fabric button rings

I am playing around w/ these fabric button rings. ...It's been fun

Adding rhinestones to wallets?? Hmmm...Also check out this great cowgirl fabric below. It is hard to see but has glitter on it...
