Bag Lady..

A new use for an old product! Window mesh. It makes lovely bags.. and when we finally have to give up plastic bags, people are going to be wanting bags to put their groceries in.. hopefully they will want pretty bags and not those awfully boring green ones.. :) These are strong and sturdy. The little one is for The Princess and the bigger one is mine.. which I use and haven't had any problems with it..

A Long Time Between Posts..

One little something I have made since the last post! They are mini kimonos. The pattern is in AP&Q but I can't remember who by. It was fun to do, I just loved making those tiny Kimonos. I didn't have any Japanese print fabric so I used batik. Still looks good.

Buying and Selling

A beautiful baby quilt for a friends baby. She is only 8 months old now! I need to make a baby quilt for my new grandson, but the fabric just wont talk to me. I may have to buy some more and start over. He is 4 weeks old so I still have time before he starts school.. :)

I have started my selling adventure on Oztion and it isn't going too bad. There are a few hand-dyed things and a few embroidered things too.. it certainly isn't the flop I thought it would be.

Shirt!

This is the result of the baggies-in-the-sun and they are just beautiful! I love dyeing and the wonderful effects that can be achieved. The Princess loves them and wears them whenever she can. The flannels turned out quite well too and I have even started embroidering on them. I hope to have some up for sale on January 1st. I am going to try and start a little business and what better date to do it than the 1st of the year!!

Dodgy Business..

Are these baggies the start of something or just a lot of wishful thinking..? I wanted to dye and embroider some wash cloths, and maybe sell them on Oztion, to help pay for the software I want for the embroidery machine. I am thinking maybe the dye is too intense again and I should have toned it down a bit. It is a good learning experience anyway.. and if some of these sell, good on me, and if they don't, the family will get them as birthday presents!! I did 3 little Princess-sized shirts too.. and she loves them so much, I can't sell them!!
