Preview

I have been working diligently in the sewing room over my Xmas vacation. My Bible study group offered up one of those money challenges. You may have heard of them. They give you a certain amount of money and challenge you to make it grow. Then those "profits" are reinvested into local causes. I took the challenge. Here is a small preview of things to come.





These wristlets are my new favorite. They are a great size, interfaced for extra stability. I added a credit card slip pocket on the inside. I took it along with me to dinner last night and had a friend give me her honest opinion of it, and it somehow slipped out of view. I think in hopes I would forget about it. I used some stitching from my sewing machine and then freehand embroidered the two little yellow birds.

I am hoping to have everything loaded into my Etsy shop this weekend. I am very excited about this!

Back to the real job tomorrow. :(

    I really love the birds on the branches! You rock. I just ran over to my sewing machine and I'm so sad I don't have that kick ass stitch.

    Lee Ann - the things you make just get better and better! Those wristlets are fantastic! I'm going to check on your shop this weekend, that's for sure.

    I looooove your little robot in the previous post! He's great! I'm so happy that those wool pieces were part of something so cool.

    I hope you have a great New Year!

    : D
