Clomid Guide

I decided to make a tutorial for making a luggage tag, have a Columbus Day sale at my shop (from Monday 10/12 to Tuesday 10/13) and finish my friend’s laptop bag. Normally, I wouldn’t consider this that much work but to top it off I’m house/pet/kid sitting for a friend. Currently I have 3 horses, 5 dogs, 2 cats, 4 bunnies, 3 birds, countless goldfish, 1.5 kids and two houses to watch. I feel like I’m living in a three ring circus. Continue reading →

A friend of mine posted this as her status a few months ago:

Pay it forward 2011: I promise to send something handmade to the first 5 people to comment on this, but to be eligible you have to repost this and offer this to someone else. The item must be handmade and sent sometime during 2011. Who’s in?! Continue reading →

Like train of thought but where pictures lead the way.

This is my first trapunto.  Trapunto is a technique used in quilting that makes one area puff out more than another area.  My little bunny has been double stuffed to give him this 3D effect. Continue reading →

I’ve finally gotten the internet at home. It’s all part of my goal to start an etsy store where I can sell items I have sewn.

I ordered a few scrap packs from The Fabric Bar, which finally arrived today. To get acquainted with them I’ve been ironing them out, refolding and imagining all that the future holds for them. I’ll be using some of these to design my friend’s computer case. She’ll be graduating from vet school soon and I am so proud. Continue reading →

So I’ve made a few more items.  This is for an avid traveler.  A passport case with pockets for money, credit cards, licence, boarding pass and that always important passport for when you have to make a fast get away.  A luggage tag for your checked bag so after the airline looses it for awhile they’ll know who to return it to.  And lastly, a grip for the handle, for added comfort, as you pull your bag to its new destination.I’ve made a few more things as well but I haven’t quite gotten the knack of making things look as cute as they are in person translate through a picture.  I plan to mainly sell online so this is kind of important.  I’m also stalling on making anything new until my name tags arrive.  I really don’t look forward to a fixing them to items I’ve already finished, so I’m just going to wait.

My labels came in today from Green Beans -n- Strings and I’ve been adding them to all my items.  It’s amazing how more professional they all look now that they have a name.

They they are! Can you spot them? Continue reading →

One of my best friends is a science teacher over in Michigan.  She has 95+ students; that is a lot of papers to be graded moving to and from class.  Wouldn’t it be great if she has someplace to put them to ensure their safety on the journeys? Continue reading →

This weekend, after a trip to the fabric store, was dedicated to making these napkins/placemats:

After much online research my favorite tutorial was from angharad.  I loved the look of hers and the instructions were so easy to follow.  Continue reading →
