Saturday Sewing/Shameless Self-Promotion

I've been working the craft show circuit recently, peddling my hand-sewn wares. As craft show season has drawn more or less to a close for the season, I'm working on adding some of my stock to my etsy shop. Today I added some really fun Ka-choo! Tissue Cozies to the shop. Here are a few of my favorites:

Cute owls!

Whimsical Birds

Take a look - they would be so sweet to put in a stocking or wrap up for that "co-worker who has everything but loves birds/owls/polka dots." Come on, we all have one of those!

Saturday Sewing

Last week at my Wednesday night knitting group, the topic of conversation migrated to the world of sewing. My fellow knitter, blogger, and dear friend April (a.k.a. Domestic Knitter Designs) always has such beautiful projects underway, and I was finally inspired to dust off my Singer and sew something myself. I went to the fabric store and picked up a few yards of cotton fabric and a few patterns, and set to work. In the span of about six hours spread over two days, I managed to make two lovely little project/notions bags. I'm looking forward to making more and featuring them in my etsy shop.

Citrus Sunday

I think I need a 12-step program to get over my citrus coaster addiction. I woke up this morning at 7:30am, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and ready to knit more coasters! Including the one that I knit while watching "The Adjustment Bureau" with TMG last night, the coaster count is now up to four.

A few days ago I found these adorable citrus coasters from the Purl Bee. They are made out of felt and hand-sewn. I immediately fell in love with them and knew that I just had to have some for myself!
This morning I headed to Wal-Mart and picked up some felt. Not the best quality stuff in the world, I know, but I didn't want to invest in better yardage unless I knew I would be successful.
This project took no time at all, and I am hooked. Good thing I have several other colors of felt; I plan to make a set of six: orange, lime, lemon, pink grapefruit, red grapefruit, and tangerine!
