Snap Bags


I have made four of these snap bags now.  Love them, they are so easy.  I even found a 25 foot retractable ruler at Wal-Mart for $3.00.  I have three more cut out and ready to sew.  Just need the time..

Yard Sale Find

I usually don't go to yard sales, but my mother is visiting and this is what she likes to do.  Score - I found this rolling cart.  I have plans to paint it a soft pink.  I plan to get a board cut for the top and use it as an ironing pad.  I also find a cute little pitcher of green depression glass.

Mother - Daughter Heo Bags

My customer bags are done.  Both front and back pockets of the blue damask bag are usable also several pockets inside.  The little girl bag looks much bigger than it is. 

My mother is visiting from Las Vegas for about four weeks, so my posts may be sporadic.  She is 82 and still gets around pretty good.

Eugene Oregon

We are scouting the area and looking at some homes to see if Eugene, Oregon is the place where we want to live the rest of our lives.  So far, I love it.  It is such a clean city.  Now if we can sell our Tampa, Florida house for a decent price, it is a go.

PJ Pillow Pets


I finally got my daughter to send me some pictures of the kids with their pillow pets.  The pillows look so big, but they are really not.  I guess it's the angle.  They love them.

Customer Bags/Baskets Finished



Front and back of a little girls bag from a military ABU (Air Force) shirt.  The inside has cute little cupcake fabric.  The next one is for the mom and the two boys baskets for Halloween or Easter or just plain storage are lined with Michael Miller vintage plane fabric.  Sorry for the horrible pictures.  It was dusk, but I didn't think they would turn out this dark.  These are custom made and if you would like to order an ABU Hero Bag or any of the above, please contact me or visit here for more information.

Bucket Tote

This is from a pattern by Sweetwater called a "Bucket Tote".  My fourth thing made this weekend.  I was a little hesitant as it has a circle bottom.  It went together very easy and I don't know why I stressed.  It comes with three labels - Make Life Fresh, Make Life Simple and Make Life Fun.  I didn't want to waste a label in case this didn't turn out.

Ikea Fabric Wristlet

I bought this fabric the one and only time I've been to Ikea here in Tampa. I put it on the back of a quilt I made for my niece and had some left.  I machine quilted it and really like how it turned out.

Trick or Treat Bag

I made this Treat or Treat bag to sell on my Etsy side, but I think it needs something?? Right now it could be for boy or girl.  I have not made up my mind yet on what to do.  Leave it or embellish it??  Help!

Another Little Selvage Bag

These bags are addicting.  This is my second one a little bigger and I boxed the corners so it sits flat.  It will be for sale on my Etsy site.  This bag measures 10.5" wide x 6.5" tall.  Super little bag which can hold your camera, cosmetics, or a nice gift for quilting friend.
