A few pretty works in progress...

I'm not quite finished with these sweet goodies

but had to share with you my progress so far!!!

A friend wanted an iPad sleeve...another friend wanted an iPhone case

and another wanted an envelope lavender sachet!

Here are my little creations but they still need buttons, seam binding and

other sweet adornments ~

I also took photos as I created the envelope sachet

so I can share them with you!!!

I'll also share the pattern here for free as well...

Just give me a little time to edit the pics and get it ready :)

I hope to share the envelope lavender sachet tutorial with you very soon!!!

Wishing you a beautiful Thursday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Done and done.

I did it!

I finished the iPhone cases!

Here are a few pics...

The neat thing about these is that I pre-washed all the fabrics,

I even pre-shrunk the inner batting

so when they get a little dirty

they can be tossed in the washer,

dried and pressed good as new!

All are listed in my Etsy too :)

Here are a few "in progress" shots...looking through my wads of lace

to find just the right combination for each case!

Just the right snippets of gorgeous old lace...

Beautiful vintage buttons...

Even vintage nubby barkcloth!

I forgot to show you this little sweetie!!

I made a different kind of lavender sachet...

a wonderful fabric sack!

I filled it with lavender and cinched up the top, tied with seam binding

then finished it off with a gorgeous old button.

It's already sold but I still wanted to share it with you!

Wishing you a wonderful Father's day weekend dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

In the home stretch!

Well, I've been sewing like crazy over here!!!

These babies aren't quite finished....

but ALMOST!!

They just need me to add a few special touches

to the flaps....

iPhone cases!

Coming soon to an Etsy store near you!

I had a sweet email from someone that wanted to feature my artwork on her website...

she wanted a slideshow so I tried to put together one for her ~

I thought I'd share it here.

It's not everything I've made but it sure is a lot of it!!!

Thank you always for stopping by to see me.

I just LOVE your comments ~

they let me know that someone really does drop by to visit!

Wishing you a wonderful Friday dear friends,

hugs and love,

New handmade goodies!

First, a few fern images ~
I love ferns...I love MY ferns!

I have four on the front porch and LOVE it when

they are full and lush....

Can you tell what they are?

iPhone cases...in progress!

I used canvas drop cloth fabric, tan and cream ticking and

warm and natural batting sandwiched between.

All have been laundered and pre-shrunk, so that's a good thing!

The pic below is BEFORE embellishing ~

Here are the AFTER pics!

I only made two, just testing out the fabrics and style ~

Just listed in my Etsy....I think I'd like to make more of these!

They were really fun and now that I have the method

down pat, it will go faster next time, don't you think??

Today we will attend the mini graduation
of our youngest son, Noah, from middle school
to HIGH SCHOOL!!
Plus it's the last day of school for Noah for the summer
YAAAAY! For him AND me!!
Being the night owl I am,
believe me, it's a good thing :)

 

Have a wonderful Friday precious friends!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn
