I have a Christmas card and FQ exchange in one of my FB sewing groups.
The name I was given was someone I hadn't "met" via FB (yet) and it was a little difficult to 'stalk' her.
She likes purple, crochet and she's a reverend. Not much to go by.
Yesterday, at my mid-day work break, I went to my voodoo-hippie doc and got my christmas acupuncture and then zoomed over to Fabric Depot to take advantage of their 40% off fabric sale.
I found this vivid turquoise and purple "Tree Of Life" by Timeless Treasures for my swap partner and some purple grosgrain ribbon to trim it.
I fell in love with the scissor print and put this on the inside to easily see what's stored.
Just love this combo and might make another this afternoon after I meet a friend for lunch and bazaar. Although, I have to sew up two pillowcases for my niece for her Christmas gift. I have a care package going out tomorrow and if I could throw those inside, it would be another item checked off my list.
This was a tiny gift for my friend who loves tiny flower vases like I do. I found these at an estate sale Friday! and knew they were perfect for her. Bonus - I was meeting up with her today. I think they call this Just In Time Inventory. lol
The pieces were made in England, marked DENMARK. There was an entire set that was very tempting, but we are both older and better able to resist tchotchkes.
She's a pocket tissue user so a little Tula Pink Rabbit made her a happy friend.
I've posted before about pocket tissue holders - they are less than five minutes to whip up - including the slow fabric selection. You can find tutorials all over.
A customer to my Etsy shop contacted me to make a custom CD holder for her car.
She's got a serious addiction to polka dots going on.
She sent me the following photos to get an idea of what she wanted.
{I was seriously tempted to add rick rack somehow
but didn't have any of the giant white. . .}
While I still had fabrics out, I made her a pocket tissue holder too.
I might make another CD organizer - ha! you believed me when I said the fabrics were put away? using just the giant polka dot and the white with mini-black dots and a black gingham I have. Give her a choice.
I can always put the other one in my etsy shop.CD organizer tute is here.
