My new Christmas camera needed a protective case. I wanted something not bulky, so I took some leftover padded vinyl and fabric scraps and made this in about 5 minutes.

Recent Projects: Catching Up

Since I got a new camera for Christmas (thanks Ryan!) I can now show photos again! My mother-in-law asked me to make her a Christmas present instead of buying something for her. So I made this apron, and I am quite happy with it. The only thing I think I'd change is next time make the top a little narrower, and make the bottom a little more curved. The reverse side is dark red (I forgot to photograph that). It was fun to make and easier than expected.

No Photos {frown}

In case you're wondering where all my creations have been... my camera is permanently broken I'm afraid. I hope Santa will be bringing me a new one, as he was given a fairly detailed request. But I have been sewing and making things and selling them without even a photo for my records.
I did manage to snap this one with my camera phone (pardon the poor quality). It's a navy blue herringbone with a big button flower. The inside is light yellow.

I've also made a couple of fabric paintings, a couple of clutches, and currently I am making gifts for Christmas. I just hope I can get them done in time. Pin It

BUY or DIY

These are beautiful planters. Just my style. You can find them at Obleeek Objects, or I think you could make them yourself pretty easily. I'd love to give it a try.

DIY Lamps

I've had this idea in my head for a while now, and I'm happy to see a tutorial available so I'll know I'm doing it properly.IKEA has these corded lights that just plug in, or I believe you can just get them at your local hardware store.

I do love shoes...

Yesterday I saw this lovely photo from the cherry blossom girl via (decor8). She loves her new floral tights, and I love her shoes. And then I came across these shoes from JC Penny, on sale this weekend for $19.99, and I just got a $10 off coupon in the mail from them too. Saweet! $10 shoes for me! I might just have to buy both colors! Free shipping too, on orders of $25 or more.
