purses to blush

the last week or so has also seen me being super busy making more doily purses for the lovely Jo from Blush in Corrimal NSW. Jo found me via MadeIt and bought out my store in one swoop! It's always such a good feeling when your creations are loved so dearly. She let me know that over the w/e the most popular purse was the big green sari one . So with that being said, more were ordered and are on their way.

(ok now i'll go enjoy my quiet time)

purses, purses, purses

some newbies in my madeit store

i have been busy stitching up a frenzy! in total i made 12 zippered purses today. made from recycled denim, vintage doilies, laces & silks. they are all different sizes as i was not  too concerned about them all matching in size, more of a "lets just go with the flow & see what happens" kind of thing.  And its nice to see something a little bit different in my store aswell, although i must update my hand-dyed scarves. They are still available i just have not yet taken new pics to show the new laces i am using. maybe tomorrow whilst pauly & nina are at the footy.

 (yay!  day off family duties)

doily days

oooOOO.....tis a nice surprise to pop on the MadeIt blog.

i'm loving these little doily creations they just seem to sew themselves. i made a couple of tiny coin purses this week using recycled denim jeans, doily pieces and some indian silk wedding sari Y

its a doily brooch loving kinda day

I must thank Bec from MadeIt who posted my brooches in this weeks MadeIt Shopping Guide

The last 2 days, my inbox has been flooded with sales and custom orders for these fab lil brooches & now hair clips. It's such a lovely feeling when people love what you make. So today and the next few sees me sitting excitedly at my janome stitching up a storm to get these orders out. I am also desperatley hoping that my mini moo cards are in my post box so that i can label these little beauties with their own tags.

a little note on the Holly Hobbie Puzzle - yep all the pieces were there!

doily love brooches

last night i decided i needed a brooch to wear for today, and i didnt have one that took my fancy, so i whipped one up! and another one and another one and then there were 10!

you can find them in my madeit store here for $12.50 each

100% thrifted

the recipe:

2 pair thrifted jeans, 1 thrifted jacuard table cloth, 1 vintage lace table cloth, 1 vintage sheet and a bunch of thrifted zippers. there are a couple on madeit, this lot can now be found at a sweet lil boutique named EVE in Pambula.
