Show and Tell!!

I just wanted to share my step-mom's finished bag. She has already received it, and taken it to work with her. I was told it was a hit at the Ice Skating Rink she teaches at. She also asked me to make 25 change purses for her students for X-mas gifts....YAY!! She is my first custom order..woo-hoo!! Everybody has to start somewhere, right?



I have another fun Ice Skater print in red. I also ordered green, and yellow. These will be perfect for the change purses! I think that print is more fun for kids :0) I better get started with the print I do have.
























I also have a ton of sewing to do to prepare for my first Craft Fair. My friend Abbie asked if I wanted to participate with her, my response is "Of Course!!" I'm really excited. So I have until Dec. 6th to get a lot done. Not to mention I need to get some more inventory in my Etsy Shop. I have had a total of ONE sale over there...and it was for a charm pack I was selling to De-stash a little. My stash really is not that big, but is sufficient for me. I have had to have a lot of self control and not keep purchasing fabric.....The hubby had a bit of a fit when he realized I was acquiring package after package of fabric in the mail..Oops!! So I have agreed to not buy anymore unless I need it for a custom order, or I have sold Items I have made with what I have already. Man, husbands can be a bummer sometimes..Can't live with em', can't live without em'!

Here is a picture of some smaller scrap pieces:




Here are some vintage fabrics:



Here are my beloved Magazines:





And an explosion on my Dining table:


Ok I'm going to get my butt into gear and sew till I can't sew no more!! Have a good weekend :0)

Good job with the bag! it really turned out nice with that polka dot you added there instead of sticking with boring black!!
