Pocket Purse Organizer - Medium

Thanks to a very nice Etsy customer, buttonbistro7, I am able to offer another new item to my shop. I have been making the large pocket purse organizers for about a year, but it was not until buttonbistro7 asked about resizing it smaller, did I try this pattern. It came out so cute. I will be mailing it out to her tomorrow. I hope she likes it. She said she will promote it for me on her blog...maybe I can sell a few.

My scrap stash

I can't believe I actually did this. I started Monday, before work, and then working until midnight the last 2 nights, and finishing tonight, I went through my entire stash of scraps. (2) large bins!! I made 1/2 lb bundles, and hope to sell them in my Etsy shop. I started selling the extra lace I have accumulated, and actually have had (1) sale. I have way too much stuff. Will never get a chance to do all I want to do. So I am really going to try to be good and stay out of the fabric stores. May last until next weekend. I will be away from home that weekend, for work, and bored, and I have a feeling I know where I will end up!!

A dress for Adalee

My oldest granddaughter spent the night with us last night. So while I had her with me I figured that it would be a good time to sew the dress I promised my daughter I would make for a birthday party Adalee is invited to. Cowboy theme for a set of twin boys turning 3. Plus I figured this was a good time, since the party is next weekend. Now I just have to figure out what I am going to make for Wyatt.

My Stash

I have to admit, as much as I hate to, that my husband is right. I have a problem!! I can not walk into a fabric store without buying more fabric, thread, patterns, or other items. So today, I started cleaning my sewing room, and came across a ton of lace and eyelet that I think I can part with. Going to try. I added some listings to my Etsy shop, so I will see if I can decrease my stash that way. If that works out, I think I may try doing that with some fabric I have been holding onto for a while. Even looking at my (2) scrap bins. Just a year ago, my scraps fit in a large gift bag I kept in the corner of my room. Yes, now, 2 large bins. I just need to stay away from the fabric stores!!!
