It's a SALE!

I'm in the mood for a sale and I hope you are too!  Especially since the holidays are coming up...

I've added lots of new items to the shop and will continue to do so during the next month. I've got a whole stack of things you haven't seen in the shop previously, plus I'm adding lots of fabrics too!

If you see something you want, make sure you use the coupon code Holidays2015 and a 20% discount will be applied to your purchase(s). The coupon expires 12/31/15.

Hope you have fun!!

Take care,

It's been a productive day...

Hubby and I have gotten quite a bit done today and it feels so good. It doesn't happen quite as often as I would like so I'm really enjoying it. We had to take his car in for new brakes and tires and although that's one expense I could do without, it's so nice to have new tires with lots of tread.

We also had a couple of big items listed on craigslist that sold today. One, a slipper chair that I just listed Wednesday, was purchased to be used in an upcoming movie. Kind of exciting, I thought!

I worked a couple hours on the channel quilting for the front and back of the cargo duffel I'm making, but I got to the point where I needed to do the bottom and zipper gussets and without a zipper, it was impossible to continue. I got the zipper ordered, after searching for awhile to find exactly what I wanted, and hope it will be here early next week.

And, lastly, I just got these four zipper pouches listed in my etsy shop. I have more made... I just have to get photos of them and get them listed. :)

I love these kinds of days!!

Fulfilling orders...

That's what I've been doing for the last week and a half... fulfilling orders. That doesn't make it sound nearly as much fun as it is. Making these zipper pouches is instant gratification and what could be better than that?

Christmas zipper pouches, can you believe it? I can hardly believe it's already the first of November and Christmas will be here before we know it. I might not be ready, but my customer is certainly going to be prepared, right?

In addition to these pouches, I've made a couple of Two-Zip Hipsters and will get them posted tomorrow. Right now I'm off to work on a Zip & Go!

Take care,

It was a good day!

Yesterday was a pretty productive day for me and it felt wonderful! Of course, it's easy to sew a Zip & Go and two zipper pouches when all the cutting/interfacing has been done beforehand. 

This was a special request and is the second Zip & Go that I've made using this fabric combination. I really like it.

The pouches are fun to make and quick. I see lots of great ones on blogs and pinterest, but I think my fabric choices are quite different than most of those I see. That's not a good or a bad thing, it just is. I guess I would say that mine are not quite as trendy as the majority of those that I see, but I love these fabrics and combinations of fabrics.

The bright wavy-lined pouch I made a couple of weeks ago and just never got around to showing here so I included in the photo with Tuesday's pouches. I'm struggling lately to get good shots and I'm not exactly sure why. I know the lighting in my home is usually dismal, but come on... :))

I find myself wanting to keep these although I made them for my etsy shop. My husband just laughs at me when I say this. He knows I'll sell them and he thinks it's funny how we women love our bags/totes/pouches.

Take care,

Zipit!!!

It always feels like Christmas when I receive my zipper order from Zipit. Even though I already know what's inside, it's still a thrill to open the package and examine all that glorious color!

I tried something new this time... see those orange metal zippers? I'm going to see what they look like on a couple of zippered pouches. How fun!

Take care,
