Peek a boo

Here is a work in progress...cutie hooties for the show this week end. I always like to see others
WIP so thought I'd share these cuties with you. Did you know a group of owls are called a "stare of owls"? Now you know! Anyone else hearing that Geico commercial song in their head right now?

More Hoots!

The final two hoots have been completed before the show. Again sorry for the glare in the picture, but I think you can still see.
I am working on the free standing hoot as well...see? Not where I want to be right now but getting closer :)

Don't forget I'll be at McGavock High School here in Nashville tomorrow from 9-4!
Handbags, aprons, kids art books, tweets, peeps and hoots will all be there too!

Boo boo Bag

I wanted to show the Boo-boo bag I made for my daughters friend. The bag is inspired from Sew Mama Sew rice heat therapy bag tutorial. The Boo-boo bag includes a vanilla scented rice bag for heat, a mint scented buckwheat bag for the freezer, a lavender scented eye pillow and a cool bag to store it all in. The rice and buckwheat has a removable cover so you may remove for the microwave or freezer. I made several for Christmas gifts and they are wonderful! Just the ticket to get you feeling better and looking stylish at the same time.

I am still working on the Babushka messenger bag and it is going to be soooo cute. I hope by posting this I will get into gear to finish it. I really want to keep it but alas it will be posted in the shop.

Spring inspiration

We had our first CRAFT:a creative community meeting yesterday and it was a blast. It was so nice to see old friends and meet some new soon to be friends. Well the first spring show is scheduled the first Sunday in March and I really need to get my butt in gear. I purchased some cute Russian nesting dolls fabric (remember the $40 spool of thread?) and made a new bag. But the fabric has inspired me to do something else. Go take a look at the "New" picture album and let me know what you think. Real art is not my forte, so please be kind. Not that I think this is real art but you know what I mean, I prefer fabric and thread. I think she will be on a messenger bag of some sort . I am also working on a full apron, not the half apron I usually do. I have found a great pattern (I know, I'm breaking down and will "try" to use one), and will see how it works. The pattern may be found at www.montessoribyhand.blogspot.com if you care to peek. I contacted her and have permission to sell goods using her patterns. I don't know if you realize how nice that is most goods made from patterns may not be sold. But as long as she gets the kudos she is cool with it. And by now you know about the Boo boo bags that will be available for spring. Of course I will have the usual suspects...handbags, wristlets, aprons, comp book covers, kid art books, water bottle holders.

Mama's got a new bag

I wanted to share this new bag I created last week. I really do like the size as I am more of a bigger bag kind of girl. I wish I could do a one strap on this bag instead of the two. I have tried one strap with this design but the center will fold in and it messes up the shape. My favorite part is the center panel with the Russian nesting dolls, too cute! I do have more of this fabric and am listening very closely to what it wants to be turned into??? I'm so sure it will be a bag, but not sure of what kind?? I have been wanting to try a messenger bag, this very well may be the inspiration.
