Crafts, crafts, & more crafts!!

Okay, brace yourselves - there's been a lot of crafting around here these days so that means there's a lot of pictures.
A pincushion I made off a tutorial somewhere on the web.
These are the wide leg pants out of Amy Butler's InStitches book. They are definitely wide legs. I really like them. They are very comfortable. Fabric is Heather Bailey (she has one of my favorite websites!) and came straight from the sister-in-law in S.Korea!


These are Amy Butler's Stash & Dash bags. I absolutely love these! I did give these away. When I told Matt that I was going to make one for myself he gave me a eye roll! : ) He thinks I have too many bags. I just giggle, smile and say "Umm, sure thing!"



Okay, these birds are my own pattern and I think I'm going to put them in my Etsy shop in a few days.




Do you see this cat?!? This is during my photo shoot of the birds.

Here's my little owl hiding in my thread. I don't know what got me to make this little guy. He is my own pattern too. I don't know why I keep making bird things either. It's just a phase.
Back to patterns & Amy Butler. Here's her Frenchy bag pattern. I did change it up and added the ruffle to the top. This is going to be given away too. See, I don't keep all my bags! : )


Whew! All done! Hope you enjoyed my goodies. I sure did enjoy making all of them. Don't worry, Syd is well fed, bathed & dressed. I usually do all my crafting while she sleeps. And yes, she does sleep a lot. She's an excellent sleeper. No complaints here.
Have a good day.

As always, your crafting expertise amazes me! By the way, is that Martha pawing at one of your crafts?! Oh how I miss that cat :-)

Becky, I can't believe what talent you have. All of your things are really great, and that Frenchy bag looks like a million bucks. I would gladly pay big bucks for that one!! Sure enjoyed seeing you guys and Sydney is a real cutie. Hope to see you again soon.

Love the Heather Bailey fabric! And yeh, those purses look great. The little ones are super cute and that frency bag is great with the ruffle. I think Matt might have purse envy!!! He just needs the "European Carry-all" or "Lifestyle Bag" as they are now called. Well, I dont call them that, I call them a man-purse!!! Hee hee. Great work.

Oh my goodness you have been busy!!! I may need to outsource some of my wanna be craftiness to you!!! I wish Amy Butler would come out with a baby book...I think I am going to decorate with Heather Bailey fabric, but I am getting indecisive!!

Someone should tell Martha those aren't real birds.

I especially like the last purse! But everything is very cute!

That last bag is really cute. I would buy one from you if you made it in pink.

Becky, I totally want one of those bags you need to make some nad put them on ETSY. I claim one...that would make a great diaper bag/purse. As I have only carried for 2 years now. I don't think I know what a purse is...also you need to put those cute hair bands on there too!!! My bald baby needs some of those so she won't keep being called a boy. Whitney
Seriously you have got mad talent. Rusty, even thought that your birds were "cool", so you have the men seeing your talent now.

I love how you modified the frenchy handbag!! The rufles do give it a nice twist, great idea! I think I might try that!
