Like my new blog design?!!!

Friday, November 28th, 2008

I love it!  Cicily, my web designer (August Afternoon Design), is just the very best!  Honestly, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m just certain there’s nothing she can’t do!!! This week, she’s been working on my new blog design.  It’s her latest brainchild:  blog designs.

I can’t speak for Cicily, but [...]

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Last night the tea party began over at Artiste! With over 100 items for sale and lots of guests stocking their handmade goods, you’ll want to take a moment to hop over there and check it out!

I’ve stocked some reusable gift bags, and my guest for the event is Etsy’s It’s Sew Sweet.  You’ll love [...]

Holiday reusable gift bags…are being stocked!

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

I’m busily working on (what I think are) some clever holiday gift bags. The reusable kind.   Find a variety of sizes and themes over at my shop.  My favorite one so far is the Cardinal Set.  These just beg to be gifted to a friend filled with a yummy loaf of pumpkin bread!  It’s the [...]

Saturday’s bag….for holiday gifts

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Ok, I’ve skipped Wednesday through Friday’s bags.  Those need finishing touches still and, well, Friday’s bag never happened.  I was too busy finishing a book, I confess, and being generally lazy.
Today, my theme is Gift bags.  I’m so “into” these; they’re reusable, and oftentimes much cuter than their paper counterpart.  I discovered fabric gift bags [...]

Truth Designs…so gorgeous!

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

My web design princess (tee hee), Cicily, has a new line of Inspirational sportwear (tees and hoodies, etc..) that she has designed and offers over at Cafepress called Truth Designs.  She was sharing them with me last evening, and they are too fab for me not to pass along to you!

I think these are the [...]

Winter Hat Sew-Along…join me!

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

I received, in my Inbox this morning, a free downloadable pattern for a cute (and EASY) winter hat from Simplicity.  This is probably our first chilly weekend here in Arizona, and I think this pattern could be dolled up in many cute ways to wear this season!  I’m imagining all the baseball tournaments I’ll be [...]

Tuesday’s Bag

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Tuesday’s bag was a smaller item.  The election got me sidetracked since I was caught up with watching the results come in.  Anyway, I made a cell phone (or iPod) pouch with an additional interior slot for a credit card, driver’s license or a few dollars.  This was inspired by a recent client who suggested [...]

Monday’s bag…Noah’s Ark

The Noah’s Ark Baby Bag.

Ugh! I see way too many moms out there carrying ginormous diaper bags around (you know what I’m saying ~ the ones that look like they’ve packed for a long weekend trip!), even for short trips out and about.  What I love about these tote-along friendly baby bags is their nice [...]

Sunday’s bag…I’m calling it the Carnival Bag.

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

The Carnival Bag.  This messenger bag is a custom project for a client  (sorry gang, not for sale!) who had some specific dimensions she needed for her bag.  She selected these yummy  Sandi Henderson prints and they are so bright and cheerful, they remind me of a day at the Carnival!  I also made her [...]
