Handmade Polymer Clay Flower Jewelry by Beadscraftz

I just love flower jewelry. I love wearing flowers on my ears, on my fingers, around my neck, etc. Today I came across the beadscrafts Etsy shop while reading the blog Everyday Beautiful and I love all the beautiful flowers.  I’ll be saving my pennies to buy some of these.

More New Fabric

I don’t know what I’m going to do with the piles of fabric I have now, considering I’ll be birthing a baby within the next month or so.  From what I remember of late pregnancy and caring for a newborn I’m not going to have loads of free time to be sewing.  I guess I’ll [...]

Yesterday I finished the custom tote bag for the recent giveaway winner.  So here it is:

If it looks familiar, it’s because I made another bag with the same fabrics recently.  Who knew those crazy owls would be so popular?  Today I hope to start on another tote bag.  I cut the fabric for it [...]

Beautiful Things: Necklace from Blue Moss!

Recently I wrote a post about Blue Moss and the necklace I was coveting in that shop.  Well, I went ahead and ordered it for an early birthday present for me.  I got it last week and I just love it!

More Luscious New Fabric!

I’ve been fabric-shopping again.  Can’t seem to help myself.
Here are a few of my new fabrics.  These were all purchased from the Etsy shop downshadowlane:

I especially love this last one, though I’m trying to decide what to do with it and what other fabric will best complement it as a secondary fabric on a bag [...]

Vacation!

Ack! Already wrote this post and lost it — hate it when that happens.
Just a quick note that I’m leaving town tomorrow and won’t be back until August 8th, so no sewing or blogging for a week!
Be sure and check back August 9th for a giveaway!

Newest Fabrics

I got some new fabric in the mail today (not that I really need it–bad habit to buy more). I bought these from Etsy shop downshadowlane:

These are from Anna Maria Horner’s Chocolate Lollipop collection.  I have a 1/2 yard of each.  They’ve been added to my album of fabric choices.

Another Etsy Shop: Vintage Songbird

Check out the lovely items on the Vintage Songbird shop.  This stuff makes me want to learn how to quilt things.  I do think I’ll eventually take a quilting class at a nearby quilting shop, but that’s not going to happen until at least after the baby is born and old enough to leave with [...]
