Sewing for Giveaways!

This was a labor of love.  It really was.  I have been too long away from my sewing/embroidery machine. 

Craft Swap Gifts

I just had to share what I received in a craft swap over at our Farmgirl Chit-Chat Page

My partner was Michelle of Michelle's Little Piece of Heaven Blog

Look at the beautiful fabric colors in the handmade rag rug.  She is very talented.

Isn't her homemade soap beautiful?  I love the molds.  Check it out here

Look at this gorgeous Quartz.  It is hollowed out some to insert a tea light candle.

Michelle's husband Rick made the base for the candle that holds this piece of quartz.  Talent runs rampant in that family.  She found this in Quartzsite, Arizona.  It is impossible for a photo to show the beauty of this as the light flickers through the stone.

A great big thank you to Michelle and Rick!

I can't wait until she gets the things I made for her and hope she likes them.

Oh I still have until March 20th a giveaway for a handmade purse enter here

Have a great weekend and remember create something!

Handmade Bag Giveaway!

This is Hoodie's Collection Pattern from Simplicity.

I like the simple aspect of the design, although it takes a little time to make.

This bag was to be in with the Octagon Surprise Package Giveaway.  The winner of that contest turned out to be a person that I was having a craft swap with and I'd already made one for her.  Making something different for her now so she won't have two of the same item.

This particular bag is made from premium cotton fabric made in London, England.  You can see and feel the difference in premium fabric.  It's a difference that I love!

This bag could be used as a purse it was made from a purse pattern.  It could have so many uses, clothes pins, stockings, yarn, craft supplies, beach bag, oh anything you can think of bag!

The lining is made from the very same premium fabric.

 Sewing and will post others after recipients have gotten theirs.

I will be making and selling these very useful bags soon to sell.

Now's your chance to receive one free

Only one rule:

I do request that you Follow dolly's designs in some form or another, even through email if you wish.
