Phew.
It’s all done.
It wasn’t THAT much, but you know, being that I had (and still have) like a billion things to do before the new babe gets here, it felt like my plate was extr-y full and all.
But now?
All done!
Well, the custom sewing projects are done.
And shipped!
That’s the best feeling.
And now all that’s left is for all the lovely ladies to enjoy their new items. Yeah, yeah, THAT is the best part.
So here is the work:
A ladybug hip-pack and hairband set.
Matty actually modeled it for me! (Being that in my current state, or you know, ever, do I have a 28-30 inch waist. Ahem.)
A pretty pink pinwheel purse (say it 5 times fast baby!).
And finally, a three piece set: messenger bag, laptop sleeve, and wristlet. A lot of work, but very pleasing. I loved doing the exterior embroidery design and I’m thrilled with how everything came out.
And that’s all for now! I need a break. But probably won’t take one. I have plans to actually make myself some stuff now. Finally!

Yeah, I can’t get enough of the owls.
I just ADORE them.
I still had some of this very awesome Japanese owl print cotton and decided to make a few items . My favorite part is hand sewing the wool felt appliqués on the outsides.
Eyes open!
Eyes closed!
On that second pouch, you will notice some extra cuteness in the corner there. I added a pink owl button and a removable pinback button, which I got from the very cool Kung-Fu Cowgirl over on etsy. See the whole set that I got? Darling!
Both pencilcases are in the shop, along with a few other items that I was able to whip up while waiting for some fabric to come in for the custom jobs I’m in the middle of. (Poor sentence structure!)
Check ‘em out folks!

…of the custom work I’m in the midst of.
I’m loving this black mini purse.
It was made at the request of a very lovely lady, Jeanie.
I met her at the Arlington Fair.
She was helping her friend Judy in the jewelry booth next to mine.
Both of those ladies definitely helped pass the minutes.
(And allowed me to take a loo break!)
Oh and Jeanie’s husband rocks. Did ya know?
Check it.
So this mini is for her friend Mandi.
Mandi is cool.
And she has an 80s tribute band, The Reflex.
I think she’ll dig this mini.
Who could resist a mini made exclusively for themselves?
