I just found some scrapbooking/paper kits, which I had neatly packaged, tucked away and forgotten about! Three have just been added to the handmade shop.

Since I have not done a FRIDAY FREEBIE for the past few weeks, how about a WEDNESDAY FREEBIE? Please leave a comment of any sort on this post and tomorrow morning I will randomly choose one person to win the kit shown below.

Just added to the handmade shop!



I LOVED making this bag, and am super excited to finally decide on a good use for a lot of my thirfted/salvaged/vintage fabrics. Almost everything used here was thrifted. The only materials purchased new were the wool felt, wool roving, and metal rings (which I actually bought for another project). I have a stack cut out and ready to go (with lots of different, fun patches for the fronts). I will try to get them finished in the next day or two, but we will see... Time is flying by these days!
XOXO

Two new little collages in the handmade shop!

This bag is now in the handmade shop.


More tote bags (as well as some smaller "stash" bags) will be coming soon!

Some suggestions from the 1975 version of The Vogue Sewing Book on setting up the ideal home sewing studio.



Yes, please.

One of the first things I did with the Gocco printer Josh gave me a few years ago, and still one of my favorites (mainly because I loved that little car). Two screens on plywood (birch, I think...) in a pine frame.

And--yep! That would be wallpaper behind it. :)

Dream on, sister...

Honestly, I cannot remember the last time I saw something and thought, "I want THAT!" Usually it's "That's cute, but I don't need it," or more often, "That's cute, but I want to make one." Until this morning when I saw this bag by
Petunia Pickle Bottom.

It is not even my style (whatever that is), and the $300 plus pricetag is not in the budget, but for some reason I love it!
P.S. Just realized it's actually a diaper bag. NO THANKS!!!!!

Do you remember this from a few weeks ago?

Now it looks like this:



The pretty fabric is from Anna Maria Horner.
