Violet

Meet Violet. She is the latest addition to my new fabric flower creations. I am having so much fun making these. This one is attached to two ribbons so she can be worn several ways, such as a headband, choker, or even a bracelet.

I've been doing some rearranging of my creative space and boy have I collected a lot of crafty stuff. More than I will probably ever use. Once I get things more organized I'm going to have to do some destashing. I dream of the day I can have a studio and have everything in one room. Right now it's all over the house and garage. AAAHHH someday!!!!

Bubble Gum

So I don't know about everyone else, but I have the worst time thinking of cute names for my creations when I list them. I see most people give their items names on etsy rather than just pink flower for example, but it doesn't come as easily to me. Anyway I've decided to just go with whatever pops in my head when I look at the finished product. For this set of bobby pins Bubble Gum was the first thing so that is their name. The are made with several fabric layers in pink and white. They are available in my shop. Enjoy!!!

Flower brooches

I know I've been away for quite awhile, but I have made some new creations and am going to try and get back in the swing of creating and sharing. It has been really tough for me to find a balance between work and play. My schedule can change at a moments notice and it just wears me out at times. Any how on to my latest creations.

I have been playing with lots of different types of sheer fabrics and layering them into flowers for various items. I love getting out a big pile of fabric and just putting all kinds of color combos together. My first two are brooches. The first is Gypsy a blend of purples, blues, and greens. The second is Apricot a blend of mint green and peach with silver glitter accents. They are both available in my shop.

Oldies but Goodies

Well here's a few more of my faves. I just renewed them in my shop so please go take a look.
I'm getting lots of new ideas sketched out so should have some done soon.

Some favorites

As you know, I have been in a slump for awhile as far as creating goes. I finally got my sewing table cleaned off and set up. YEAH!!! I'll share some pics of the new set up soon. It's not a good pic day here today. Rainy. Anyway I thought I'd show some pics of some faves. I'm really trying to get back in the swing of blogging and creating again. It's been way too long.

Looks like a couple of my critters jumped out at me so here is todays faves. My adorable little chameleon and my sweet little parakeet. These are both brooches. They are both available in my shop.

Have a great day!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!

Just a quickie tonight. I've got to watch the season finale of The Closer! Well I got the job at Joanne's. Thank goodness!!! I am very happy there and hopefully I will be able to stay there for a long time!!!!

Apologies

Hi everyone. Wow I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. Unfortunately my online adventures have taken a back seat to life lately. As some of you have read earlier I was looking for a job for quite awhile and I found a great job that I loved, but they cut their payroll and did away with my position. I was heartbroken, but hopefully things are turning around.

I was working inside Joanne's Fabrics in the sewing machine dept. for Viking. Well I was able to get a position with Joanne's as long as everything goes thru. I am a worrier and am concerned about the credit check. I was denied employment at one place because of my credit which completely boggles my mind. How can I improve my credit if I can't get a job? I can understand if something came up in the background check, which there's nothing, but bad credit? Have any of you run across this? Well I start on Wednesday if everything is good. Please keep your fingers crossed for me. I love Joanne's and am in there all the time anyway, so this job is perfect for me.

Working for Viking has inspired me to dig out my sewing machine so hopefully I will have some new creations to show you soon. I was able to get an embellisher while I was working there so I can't wait to start playing with it. I have to clean up my sewing area before I open it or it won't get done.

Well that's it for now. Hope to have some definite good new to share later in the week.
