Shadow Boxing

I have never done scrapbooking before, but always love to look at the little accessories in the craft store. A couple of years ago I was given a shodowbox & scrapbook kit from Pottery Barn. It is a square wooden box with a sliding clear plastic cover, sticky foam, tags and tacks. I finally have a chance to play with it. My girlfriend is getting married and I am a bridesmaid, I wanted to give them a special engagement gift that was personal. I think it turned out really cute. I just printed out some cute pics, used lots of bits that I had in the sewing box and bought a wedding card at the drug store that had a cute saying. This was so fun to do, I am so excited to give it to them!

But ...they're all so cute!

I love estate sales! I love fabric! I just can't control myself and now I can't decide which to keep and which to sell. I hit the mother-load at the last estate sale, it was literally a house full of fabric. It was a good thing I had my sweetheart with me, he is great for the lifting and carrying of boxes of fabric! I will be putting a lot of this cuteness up into my ebay store soon, if I can part with it!

Happy Easter Bunny!

Sew Fun

Now this is a great idea! This site sell profesional photocopies of vintage patterns, they have some great dolls and toys. I wish I had some little teddy bear bag making time!  I might just have to make some!  www.sewfunpatterns.com

At last...

I have finally made a new bag for myself!

I have been carrying the same little bag for the past year and it is really time to retire it. Black, brown and red seem to go with everything. The fabric came from a charity shop in North Seattle and I recycled a funky black leather belt for the handle. I think when I make this bag again, I will be putting a zipper in. I like having the magnetic snap and the red lining to show, but the opening of this bag is a bit wide. It's bigger than my last bag, so I will inevitably be hauling around more stuff!
