Tatting Press


 To all my tatting friends out there, Ann over at http://niftyneedle.blogspot.com/ has given me permission to 
barter for tatting presses.  If you know of someone who does 
not like to sew, I could sew and they could give me something 
I would like in return.  If you could pass the word around 
that would be great.  Thank You, Shannon

Purses for My Daughters

Silver Frame Purse

Sewing has become somewhat of a "new" old 
hobby for me lately.
My daughter has taken a liking to sewing herself and
I find myself making things for her continuously.
I bought the fabric to make two purses, but had 
enough leftover to piece together 5 more.  
I think they are adorable.
They turned out great and are easy to assemble.
You can find the pattern at www.quiltplus.net 
by Connie Woo.

I am interested in selling the extra ones I have made. 
Although I do not have pictures (as of yet) of the extra 
ones I made, they will all look like the ones below except 
for the ruffle and sides.
I added some blue and purple fabrics for some extra pizzazz.
The prices are $15 for just the fabric purse 
(and you find your own handles) or 
$35 for the purse with the handles.

Cross Stitch Nativity

I have been trying to get some UFO's done at my house this summer.
This is the first to completion.  I made this item for my home.
It is a Lizzy Kate Design.  I like their designs
and all of them seem so cute.
I ended up enlarging this 2X.
Hopefully, someday soon I will be able to get it framed 
so that I may enjoy it by Christmas.
Happy Crafting!!!!
