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...:)
