Be still my beating Heart♥

What is it with me and these sunglasses/eyeglasses pouches?!  I dunno, I just love making them :)  I've added to my repertoire and voila!!

  I'm feeling the love with these pouches!  Hope you had a great weekend!!  Survived the first week on summer break, Whew!  Hope your doing the same :)

New Specs

     I've been playing around with a new pouch style.  I designed this envelope style pouch for eyeglasses or sunglasses.  A little bit more sophisticated I guess ;)  This is one of my favorite frames.  I added a little ric rac trim around the edge.

Gotta love the cute floral prints!

This is a super fun pouch!  I'm making a few and I'll see how they do.  My garden is growing like crazy, Planning to share some pics of it soon.  Hope your having a great week!!

A new frame I'm doing! I love the little details along the top of the frame. I'm having fun stitching this new style. I have a couple of other new styles too, but am not able to reveal them just yet!!

Sunglasses and eyeglass pouches Oh My!!

What I've been working on lately!  Anticipating spring things and my love for oilcloth has inspired me  to make these charming little sunglass/eyeglass pouches.  A bit of a new design for me because these pouches include a Velcro closure.

I just love the different colors and am on the hunt new oilcloth fabrics.  I like it when you can mix and match.  I have also made some wallets.  I will be adding them soon to the Etsy shop.  All I can say is that they are pretty yummy!

  Some new embroidered pouches as well.

I love the pouches with linen, they have a real classic and clean look to them.

So now I'm wanting to get started on a new project.  I really have been wanting to make a purse!  So

I'm on the hunt for a pattern.  I hope your all having a great week and finding inspiration as well :)

Cr♥ss Stitch on Wood!

I've been feverishly trying to get crafts finished up, inventoried and priced.  Very excited for my first craft fair this Friday!!!  In preparation I wanted to make a sign with my shop name.  I wanted something different, so my sweetie pie husband drilled all these darn holes for me so I could cross stitch part of the sign.  A fun project.  Note for next time, paint first then drill so holes don't swell and then have to be re-drilled....

I appliqued some letters and ironed on my little vintage tea cup head gal!  This sign is very whimsical :)

So as the date approaches I know that I will be more prepared!  I will be sure to take lots of pictures of my booth.  My little dolly is making stuff for the booth too!  Check out this super cute snowman holding the bunting.  Man he is cute. 

Have a great week!

Wall Mounted Deer and other stuff

Hello bloggy friends!  I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween.  This year my kids did not want to do as much trick or treating, they were excited to hand out the treats.  It was a great evening and lots of fun.  I was so excited this week to actually sell a couple of my embroidered hoops!  I'm still new to Etsy. I mailed my sweet stitched up babies to Canada.  I was nervous and excited.  I have more confidence now with shipping internationally.  Love learning new stuff even when it comes to mail ;)  So I have a few more new embroidered hoops in the shop.  My favorite of the three is the deer.  A vintage embroidery pattern, probably meant for a pillowcase.

Owl is trying to read so please Shhhh.

Lots of stuff I need to get done around the house this week.   Ahhhh but I just want to work on my stitching...I hope you all have a great rest of your week!



Hoop L♥ve

  What I've been working on the last couple of weeks. Lots of hoops and vintage sheets going on here.  My new obsession....vintage sheets!  I love them.  They're faded and polyester usually, but yet I still love them.  The pretty floral motifs.....and if they are embroidered....for get about it.  I'm all over it.  I have found a couple of great Etsy shops that sale fat quarters of vintage sheets. I have also been checking out my neighborhood thrift store.  I did score a really cute pillow case this week and a fitted/flat sheet combo.  I was really excited about this find never having looked for them before.  I've also got an obsession for vintage Pyrex, but who doesn't?  Plus that's a whole other story :)

I'm ready for the weekend!  Looking forward to our soccer Saturday tomorrow!  Chill time with the family:)
Have a great weekend!!
