It's my birthday--it's my birthday!!! Itsy Bitsy Pouch Giveaway

Actually it WAS my birthday on the 24th but I haven't had a chance to post something here. I just turned -tyfive (I am not telling) but my friends say I look younger. As a young kid I used to be teased about missing some screws up there because I was born close to the 29th ( February being an incomplete month). As usual I'm running into myself these days trying to finish up orders and being a single mom. That said, I am giving away one itsy bitsy coin pouch. If you happen to drop by just leave a comment by 12:00am EST March 2. I will announce the winner 2:00 pm that same day.

Center top-- First Love is not available it was ambushed yesterday. Take your pick. Top left--Abbey road, strawberries and cream. Top right--apples and pears oh my!, not a wink. Lower center--mocha temptation.


Starting from top left--candy blossoms, purple dreams (not available), green moca and ladybug vine. From top right--feathered friends, cocoa mint, Asian blooms (sorry not available) and strawberries and cream.

Have a fabulous day!

Fabrics from Fave Designers

I am so excited about a new line of fabrics coming in a few months by two of my favorite designers--Joel Dewberry and Amy Butler. Scrumptious prints as usual and I can't wait to get get my hands on them! My head is abuzz already planning what to make with them.

These are from Joel Dewberry's Ginseng Collection, who I recently learned is Donna Dewberry's son. She's the creator of the "One Stroke Painting". I took some classes locally but was cut short when I started my biz.

Jasmine Palette


Mulberry Palette


Spice Palette

These are from Amy Butler's Midwest Modern Line



Hmmm I have to make room for more fabrics!

More Fabric Closet Pics

When a friend of mine read my previous blog she called me and asked why am I showing just a little snippet of my fabric closet? She wanted to see the inside from all angles! So here goes:

Amazingly enough I have more space to spare at the bottom. I have kept this neat for two weeks now and I hope it stays that way.

STUDIO FRIDAY: THE HEART OF YOUR STUDIO!

I joined this group, Studio Friday a few months back but never got around to post anything. I have been lurking but not really participating.

The topic for this week is--"Where or what is the heart of your studio/creative space? Is it your desk or maybe a special piece of furniture, a window, a piece of art on the wall, your idea board, or one of your tools, a jar with ribbons on the shelf...? "

The timing of this topic is so perfect. I have been laboriously fixing my studio and this is going to be the year that I will finish decorating it!

This is a mini walk in closet where I put all my quilting cottons (decorator fabrics still to be tackled) and ribbons which I mostly use for my handbags. I had just organized it and I know where everything is. It is on this step that I sit, my studio being under the eaves and I can't really stand up straight even at 5'3" tall, and gaze and touch them lovingly planning my next creation. This is where my creative juices flow and I will have a floor cushion soon as it takes toll on my back to sit too long!
