Tomorrow, 9/16/08, my friend, Nicole, who is amazing with all things yarn and knitting related is hosting her Anniversary Extravaganza at her online boutique: Laines Magnifiques.
Nicole invited several of us to collaborate with her on a very special knitting set that includes a Knitting Tote made by moi’! This has got to be one of [...]
A gift is a gift is a gift… right? A ha! Not so when the bag is part of the gift! I’ve been making gift bags for a year now, making them merely simple, unlined, drawstring bags. I have a stash I’ve been working on for the upcoming holidays, too, to put my kids’ gifts [...]
…but as I started working on it, I realized I could actually make it kinda classy and cute, in a preppy sort of way!
Here’s the story: My friend’s mom, Cindy, sent over some fabrics for me to add to my stash. She’s a lifer, if you know what I mean: she’s been [...]
My good friend Teri is heading out to the East Coast for a family vacation. She called me and told me about a bag she purchased for the trip, but it had some issues. It wasn’t big enough to carry her purse, personals, books and mags, and her laptop. She also didn’t like the exterior [...]
My two girlfriends, Jenn and Teri, and I are just the perfect combination of friends. Never do I laugh as hard as when the three of us are together. Last night we celebrated Teri’s birthday with a lovely night out to dinner at a restaurant that does not include a drive thru. [...]
Here’s a cute set that I made for a custom order this week. It’ll be a gift set. She was after a girlie pink fabric and chose this from my stash. What a sweet friend!

Yet another birthday…..which means another gift to give. For me, I love it when it means a gift I can make. I don’t have any daughters so whenever I can use “pink”, I jump at the chance.
Furthermore, this I-Spy bag is something I’ve been eager to try to make for a good [...]
…if I say so myself!
My parents’ birthdays are this week. My mom’s “vice” is playing Mah Jong. I mean, she’s totally hooked! (oh, to live the retiree’s life *sigh*). Last month I found a great Mah Jong print from an eBay seller, so I snatched it up. [...]
I’m hooked on this toile handbag style –> the Magazine Tote. It’s perfect for me! Not only is the toile fab.u.lous for the summertime, but the entire design is just really working for me. And it never fails to receive compliments, which is a bonus, too!
The inside…roomy and deep enough for me [...]
