Waiting

Well I finished my granddaughters birthday present this morning,

So cute!
I had to wait all day to share because she was slow in doing her school work.

But she will be done with this year in just a couple of weeks and then we move on. Yeah!

I am trying to make electronic devise cases for my shop, but it is taking me some time. I don't know all the different sizes.

What have you finished today and looking forward to?

This was what came together.

If I get enough response I may just have to have a give away.

Spring Colors for April

I was recently invited to be a part of a Block of the Month Mystery quilt by my lovely friend, Angie.
I jumped at the chance and am realizing I really miss the piecing of quilts.
I have been sewing wallets and apron and little bags for some time now. I miss quilting.
Now, I am part of the BOM and wanted to show you what I have so far.
If you want to see the other blocks just go here.
I will share more as the time goes on.
My ten year old grand daughter helped decide what fabrics to use and well, I am going with it.
We will see in the end how beautiful it is.

New Design

I was asked if I could put the zippered coin pocket on the outside of the original  Fletcher Ross Design's Quilter's Wallet.

 I did some tweaking and came up with this.
What design are you tweaking to create your own pattern of creativity?

Little Gifts for My Friends

Good evening Bloggers,
I have been trying to get here for a week or more and this evening I have a few moments to share with you.
I have been sharing with you how I have been selling wallets on ETSY  and last week or two, I was crazily busy.

But in the meantime I attend a weekly women's bile study. We have been studying about the redeeming Savior, Jesus Christ. He has given so much for all to receive eternal salvation.  The giving He has done is nothing I can come even remotely come close to, but, I want to be a giver.

So a few weeks ago I told you I was making something for each member of my little group. I have finally completed the task and this is what I have come up with.

I had asked the group leader to find out what the ladies favorite colors are.
They do not know who has asked this question. They only know it is not the leader.
After two weeks the colors trickled in and now they will get a gift in their favorite color.
This has helped me in many ways.
1, To be able to give and not receive.
2, To serve with out expectations.
3, To understand the differences in people, and their desires.
AND….
4,  What are peoples choice in colors, so I can make those in my shop. :)
I had not thought of that until I was more than half way through the project, but I think it is a very good lesson.

I am not quite sure how to offer these little treasure gifts in my shop . I may offer as a what color choice for a price, or just make them for a price , or groups of how many, etc. Do you have any ideas?
Can you give me some of your thought? A little bit of input could go a long way.
Thank you for visiting again as always, until next time, happy bloggin'.

Outside the Box

I have had many times , the challenge of stepping outside the box, but haven't gone far.
This last week, I have been taken outside, because someone  wanted something special.
That something was three custom wallets made to order from their stash.
I could not even fathom the idea. So outside, I was blinded.
I created just what the customer wanted and to my surprise, and delight, I like them.
Modren Meadows
Amy and Denim
Os So Amy Butler
They will be received with great joy, and Love.

How are you when you are taken outside your box, and how do you handle the end result?

Looking at it Another Way

lettuce variety 

The weather out side has been beautiful this week. I just wish I had the time to go play in it. I have wanted to get out to my vegetable garden for weeks now. I have my lettuce bed growing wonderfully, but I need to get the other things  in the ground for them to grow. Don't you agree. haha.

But with all this, I have been non stop answering questions for my etsy shop.

ways to share stash

I am amazed at the traffic, but the questions, have stunned me. Like really? I really wish you could hear me saying this, cause I am not complaining, really. :)
I have had questions about what I charge. Did you not see the price next to the item?
Would I be willing to send a free sample to someone, so they can post it to their blog for people to see,? Can I send picture of the fabrics I have for choices to choose from? Uh, Sure do you have all day, I don't.

what # do you like

If you want to share my items, copy and paste a photo with the web site. Look at the prices on the item page. What colors and themes do you desire, then we can narrow down the search of fabric choices.
No, I am not amazed at the questions being asked. I am glad I am not asking them and have had the opportunity to see the real world in its reality. (?) Really.

Is it Pink?
It is Cute!
And available on etsy

This is one that got me. The item is sold as pink. Take a good look at it. Is it Salmon/ Red, /PINK? I still cannot say for sure.
But the out come is not bad, just not what the customer really wanted.  So, back to the drawing board and wait for the right item to arrive, again.
At this point, I am happy to say, business has picked up and I am working at making people happy. Glad I can be of service, as well as an instructor.
Now off to go build another gift item for my bible study group. I am making gifts for all the gals as a end of the season surprise. I will come back later and show you what I gave them. Until next time, have a great adventure and thank you for stopping by for a quick visit.

What kind of stunning questions have you been asked this week? 

Judith

Thank you for your comments, they mean a lot to me.  :)

Gift in the Mail

With all the chaos in buying fabric, I received a great gift that the mailman brought to me today.
I won a $25.00 gift certificate from Merrilee over at stitching it up . Today, it came and I am so pleased to say, I LOVE IT!
Thank you Merrilee.
Check out her blog and shop she seems to have something going a lot of the times.
Have a great time visiting, and do stop by here again, I really do love your visits.

Raining In SoCal

Hello Bloggers,
It is really raining here in SoCal. It Is a really treat and very much needed.
As always, life here this week has been busy and all I have done is teach, babysit and sew a few wallets, but today with the help of the weather I had a small break.
With the weather and reading history , it has a way of curing insomnia.

Angie's beautiful work of art, that I lOVE.

Also, today there is an anniversary to be had. Angie over at http://quiltingreadersgarden.blogspot.com/ is celebrating her fifth year in blog land, You Go Angie. And she is having a give away. Check it out, and let her know I sent you, lol.


I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your weather. It could change at any moment here, or maybe in the next ten minutes. :)
