So I’m doing “a thing.” I was invited to participate in “Festive Finds” tomorrow, March 1, from 9 am to 1 pm (could run a little longer). If you happen to be in the Bay Area, I would love to see you there. I’ll be set up in front of the white gazebo with tote bags, project bags, some needle books and Lots and Lots of Snap Trays!! It was very short notice, so I’ve been sewing all week to get ready. I have also posted new things on my Etsy site (link in bio), so come by for a visit there too!

Just added to my Etsy shop! These are “hidden” paper clips and they’re perfect for adding a patriotic embellishment to a journal or planner. The sweet Victorian girls are pictured with a USA flag, along with various sayings (we will never forget, let freedom ring, etc.). They are two sided, one image on the front and another on the back. And they’re topped with a small jute twine bow. They measure 2.25” high and 1.75” wide, and they are available individually or in a set of two. Stop by the shop for more info (the link is in my bio).

Thanks to many “enablers” (, , , .lily.designs, ), I’ve jumped on the EPP bandwagon 🫣 and what does one do when one needs a way to organize an EPP project? One makes a new bag!! This is “Treasures and Trinkets” in the large size from , made with fabrics from Lori Holt . As shown, there are pockets aplenty to keep everything in its place, and the quilted fabric, sandwiched with , gives the bag body. In the lid, I added a vinyl zipper pocket in place of the vinyl mesh “earring bar” specified in the pattern. This bag also features the three fold-out pockets along the sides and front, as well as 3 “pods” that are housed in the base; the pods can be packed and carried separately, if you want to take a small part of your project on-the-go. This bag could also be used for other needlework projects, like cross stitch, embroidery, sewing, and a friend suggested it could also be used as a lunch box/bag. And of course, it would be a great travel bag as well. I’ll soon be adding a needlebook and scissor sheath to round out my kit. DM me if you’re interested in a similar kit of your own! I happily take custom orders via my Etsy shop (link in bio).

Just added to my Etsy shop: two more sets of needle book labels — this time I have a 10-piece set of milliner needle labels and a 14-piece set of chenille needle labels. I’m working on adding a few other sets, such as sharps, beading and embroidery. Let me know if there are others that might interest you!

Just Listed! I added this sweet needle book to my Etsy shop (link in bio). The outer fabric features flowers and bees, and I used lavender for the spine and lining. The wool felt pages are white and heathered purple. The closure is a satin ribbon that wraps around the needle book and ties in a bow.

I just finished this custom needle book for a client 😊. She requested the little linen tabs for her needles, as well as a custom set of needle labels and I love how it turned out 🪡. There’s something to be said for saving linen scraps after finishing a project! I was able to put them to great use 💕. I am making another one to post in my Etsy shop and it will be available soon. Feel free to contact me via DM or message in the shop (link in bio) if you would like to order your own custom needle book 👍🏻.

I did a thing! When I’m considering new items for my shop, I frequently make a tester, to figure out the possible bloopers and ways to avoid them. This one has a few things to improve upon, but I like the outcome. It’s the pouch from and I made the large size with a faux crocodile (or dinosaur?) vinyl that’s cream colored with a little bit of glitter to fancy it up. The lining and outer tabs are from the fabric line. Normally, the outer fabric and lining are both quilted to the but I only quilted the lining, to allow the outer vinyl to shine on its own. I’ve included a photo with some of my sewing supplies for size reference. It can also be used as a stitching pouch, makeup pouch, for English Paper Piecing, for kid’s toys, the possibilities are endless!

Add this to my Etsy shop? Let me know if you’d be interested!

Thank you to for creating this powerful statement! And I was inspired by to also take a stand for kindness and compassion, particularly in the times in which we find ourselves. Let’s all “Try a Little Tenderness” and be kind to each other!
