Tri- Fold Large Wallets

I have been making large tri-fold wallets for nearly 10 years. I just love that you can organize your whole life in one. I finally retired the one I made for myself 6 years ago. I feel rather bad for my old wallet. It had become like an old friend or that favorite pair of old jeans. BUT IT WAS TIME. I decided on a blue,gray, cream and green print by Amy Butler. In fact I liked it so much that I made another one just like it and put it on Etsy this morning. I love to embellish with special buttons. Either handmade ceramic, fabric covered or vintage.

Santa climbing a Candy Cane

Hi,
Several days ago I finished a 7" candy cane with a 4" Santa. It was truely a labor of love because the Santa has tiny little legs and srms. Just turning and stuffing them was a chore. But I do love a challenge. The pictures don't do this ornament any justice. I have put him on ebay for auction. The starting bid was $1.00.

Busy Aug.

Wow where has this month gone to? My daughter and her 3 little ones were here for week. The twins are 3 and the little one is 2. They are busy...very BUSY! It took this Gran a week to recover. Gosh they are so cute though and say the darnest things.
Anyway I am getting back on track. I plan on sewing a bag or 2 today. Love going into my fabric stash.
Have a great weekend.

Making Miniatures

Goodmorning,
It looks like a nice sunny day in Vt.
I have always enjoyed making miniatures. Why I am really not sure because it is more difficult and tedious. The parts are small and difficult to turn and even the stuffing is a chore. Once I get through that part the rest is fun to me. I used to make miniature quilts too. It is a challenge to get the points to match,but I love the challenge. It is the same way with miniature folk art.
This week I made a pumpkin witch riding a crow. It was well over 8 hours of work to make this piece. He is listed on Ebay this week. A true Halloween collectable.
Have a great day!

8 Ft. Sunflowers

This summer has been incredible. I have self sewn 8 ft. sunflowers in front of my shop. They just kinds over took the front of the shop. They were blooming before the end of June. I have enjoyed them so much I just had to share.
