welcome!

I have always loved to create, design, play with color and textiles since I was a little. This is my outlet and the way I use my spare time. Granted, I like you, probably don't and won't ever have as much spare time as I'd like BUT I do try to make the most of it. Enjoy your spare time browsing my blog. Share any ideas, comments and websites.

Purses II

Round 2 on purses for me. These are a little more user friendly because the top is larger, it can fit a notebook and the lining is super stiff (2 layers of fleece interfacing and 1 layer of interfacing) so it can stand up on it's own. Again...so fun! The pattern came with an embellishment such as a fabric rose, tie, rick rack etc....which I mean to put on...we'll see if it happens. Feels like it's already done.

Amy Butler Etc

So...I've heard Amy Butler's name thrown around and finally checked her out...thanks to Amber's idea to make a purse from her website....here are a few things that I found that I need for my list of things to make.

Baby ring stacker--so cute!!!

Cool Purse

Pillows--I really need some color in my family room...perfect and somewhat inexpensive way to do it!

Girl Skirt--If only I had a girl!!!

Women's Shirt--If I made it would I actually wear it....??

Skirt--You could find some really awesome fabric...but I don't LOVE cotton skirts...

Purses

So I've had a LOT of fun lately making purses. They are pretty easy and quick and somewhat inexpensive for a craft project. Here are the latest. More coming soon (when I get pictures taken!) I made these with my sister and mom, so one for each of us! I think one of my favorite things is buying pretty fabric. For the pattern go here!




I love the opposite direction of these stripes.
