Slow Progress on Cosmetic Bags

Asian Silk, Tapestry & Upholstery Cosmetic Bags





You can see from the photo that I have six different Asian Silks and four tapestry fabrics ready to be sewn into my signature line cosmetic bags. I've been so busy with real life responsibilities, (helping with my husband's business) that I haven't made much progress on finishing them. Another problem that delayed the project were the zippers. They finally arrived yesterday.

On Tuesday, I took a break from sewing and attended a hearing in the Phil Spector civil suit against his former attorney, Robert Shapiro. I hope to get my notes up on that hearing either later today or tomorrow on Trials & Tribulations.

On top of that, I've been trying to get some personal sewing finished so my own Christmas gifts will go out on time. I still don't know if I will get every one's present in the mail and delivered yet.

I'll take photos through the construction of the cosmetic bags and put those up in an entry when they're completed.

2010 Kitty & Doggie Mat Beds Sale!

Shop my Etsy Store for Kitty Mat Beds!

The introduction of my Kitty Mat Beds was a big success last year, so I've put them on sale again this year. The Mat Beds are made from three layers of fleece and one layer of flannel print. Your pet (as well as your furniture) will appreciate these machine washable mat beds. You can choose a flannel mat bed print from most of the prints in my Flannel Collection. Flannel prints with the designation "BO" are for throw blankets only.

Regularly, my (16" x 19") kitty mat beds sell for $14.00 each. Today, they are now on sale for only $10.50! That's 25% off the regular price, and shipping is free! The medium-size mat bed (19" x 24") regularly sells for $19.00. Today, they are on sale for only $14.50 with free shipping!

PRINT FLEECE

In my last entry on new fabrics, I mentioned picking up this cute gray and orange kitty fleece print. I made a throw blanket, matching neck scarf and the two kitty mat beds below. These beds are three layers of fleece, no flannel and are a little larger than the standard size Kitty Mat Bed. These beds would be big enough for two medium sized kitties who like to nap together.

New Fabrics & Miscellaneous Items

Shop all available items at my Etsy Store!

On "Black Friday" I hit three different Jo Ann Fabric stores and scored some prints for my cotton, flannel and fleece collections.

FLANNEL

Here are two prints for the flannel collection. I had been looking for this particular pink ribbon print ever since I ran out of it last year. I found enough to make a single blanket. There is enough of the snowman print to make a blanket and several Christmas stockings. The Fleece & Flannel Blanket and Christmas Stocking Sale ends December 15th.

669BO Pink Ribbon 2



689B1S Snowmen on Red




COTTON

Here is another Debbie Mumm print that can be used in just about any direction for Market Line Bags or Hot/Cold Packs. The Hot/Cold Pack Sale ends December 31st, 2010.

427 Kitty Treats & Toys

FLEECE

This is one of my favorite prints from Debbie Mumm. I couldn't find the fleece last year but found a small piece of the fleece this year, enough for one blanket. I still have several yards of the matching cotton print but I sold out of the matching flannel last year. The Fleece & Panne Blanket Sale is on through January 31st, 2011.

704 Kitties Chasing Mice
(1 available: $29.00)




FINISHED FLEECE & PANNE BLANKETS

This is another print that I picked up during my marathon shopping days. I saw a woman in the cutting line with this fleece print but she had purchased the last of it at that store. I found the print at another store and bought enough to make a blanket, neck scarf and several kitty mat beds. The blanket and neck scarf are finished with Gun Metal panne. Kitty & Doggie Mat Beds go on sale later today.

Gray & Orange Kitties
(1 available: 45" x 59" $29.00 + S&H)



Gray & Orange Kitties Neck Scarf
(1 Available: 9" x 50" $9.50 + S&H)

These two panne prints are the last ones available. I was clearing out my scrap panne box and found I had just enough of these prints to make throw blankets. The Fleece & Panne Throw Blanket Sale will end January 31st, 2011.

Custom Orders

Send me an Email, or open a special order request at my Etsy Store!

Yes, I do custom orders. It all depends on what you are looking for and if I can make it. Some of the special orders I've received are for custom pillow slip covers, wheelchair bags, licensed print blankets and a few months ago, a "kitty cape."

I just finished a special order for extra large Christmas Stockings made with panne instead of flannel. Below is a sampling of the stockings.

Extra Large Panne Christmas Stockings

These stockings are 10 inches wide at the top opening and 28 inches long from top to toe. Here is a comparison of the size to the flannel stockings.


If you are interested in Christmas Stockings in panne colors, or if there is something else you are looking for, drop me an E-mail.

There are many things I make that you can order at any time on my PRODUCTS PRICE LIST such as table linens, embroidered handkerchiefs, kitty mat beds, etc., at very reasonable prices.

Tomorrow I will be working on making several blankets to kick off the fleece and panne blanket sale so look for that sale on the blog in the next few days.

Filling Blanket, Ornament & Stocking Orders

It may not look like much, but these are some of the items I've been working on the past week; blankets, stockings and lots of Ornament/Package Toppers and the Miniature Christmas Stocking Sachets.

In the photo you can see a custom blanket I made out of a licensed Disney print ("Hanna Montana" along with a matching neck scarf) for a sweet little girl you might have heard about in the news, Kathleen Edward. If you are interested in a licensed print blanket, E-mail me for details and cost.

I received an order for 50 of the miniature stockings and I'm half way through making them as well as another large Ornament/Package Topper order. I wanted to let you know about a couple sales I hope to get up in the next few weeks. Fleece & Panne Throw Blankets and Asian Silk Cosmetic Bags. I haven't made a new batch of silk cosmetic bags in several years. This season, I'm introducing a few new prints that have been patiently waiting in my attic storage to be turned into little zippered bags. So keep your eyes open for these new sales in the next couple of weeks.

2010 Hot/Cold Pack Sale

THIS SALE HAS ENDED.
All items are available at regular prices.

I've been up late every night this week working on holiday sewing orders and making Hot/Cold Packs to photograph for this sale. If you're not familiar with my cotton Hot/Cold Packs, let me tell you about them. My special blend is made with rice, flax seed, lavender flowers, and peppermint leaves—and they smell wonderful! (If you are fragrance-sensitive, they can be ordered scent-free.) You can put them in the microwave for instant heat, or place them in the freezer for cooling relief. Use them again and again—they will last for many years! Long-time customers have said they are the best packs they've found anywhere. The other unique feature of my packs is the wide selection of cotton prints to choose from. The photos below are just a small selection of the 160 different prints in my cotton collection.

Regularly, my standard Hot/Cold pack (8"x24") sells for $27.00. They are now on sale at a reduced price of only $18.00 plus shipping and handling. That's a 33% savings off the regular price. The Mini Hot/Cold Pack (4"x12") is only $8.00!

New Items

Besides my standard size Hot/Cold Pack and Mini Hot/Cold Pack, I'm introducing two new items. For a limited time this holiday season, I'm presenting the Jumbo Body Pack and the Mini Wrist Wrap.

The Jumbo Body Pack is 12 inches wide by 24 inches long. It's perfect to cover your back, abdomen or a sore leg or arm. Below is a photo of the Jumbo Body Pack and a Mini Hot/Cold Pack. The Jumbo Body Pack is on sale for only $27.00!!

2010 Christmas Stockings and Fleece & Flannel Blanket Sale

Stockings now at my Etsy Store in the CLEARANCE SECTION.
Fleece & Panne Blankets in the BLANKET SECTION.

THIS SALE HAS ENDED.

Update! Five new Christmas-y stocking prints have been added to the collection. You can find them right after the finished stockings.

The Christmas Stocking Sale and Fleece & Flannel Throw Blanket Sale has finally arrived!

It seems like I've been cutting out stocking pieces for weeks. I decided it would be easier to combine the two sales because they are both made from the same materials and I wouldn't have to repeat uploading many of the flannel images.

Christmas Stockings

There are quite a few flannel prints that are only available as Christmas Stockings. These are prints where the stocking pattern had been cut out and tucked away since my last craft show over five years ago. This is the first time they have been offered for sale since.

There are some prints in the flannel collection where there is enough fabric for one throw blanket and several stockings. On the flannel page, those prints are designated with a B1S (one blanket; several stockings) after the fabric number. There are also some prints where there is only enough fabric for a single blanket. Those are identified on the flannel page with a BO (blanket only) after the fabric number. If there are no letters after the fabric number then there is enough fabric for several blankets and stockings.

The Christmas Stockings are approximately 7-8 inches wide and 24 inches tall. They are made from ivory or white polar fleece with either a one sided or double sided overlay of a flannel print. There is a braided cord loop at the top back side of the stocking for hanging. The Christmas Stockings are machine washable too.

When I did craft shows, my Christmas Stockings sold for $18.00 each. This year the single sided Christmas Stockings are now only $9.00, a 50% savings! Double sided Christmas Stockings regularly sold for $24.00 and are now on sale for only $12.00, plus shipping and handling.

Fleece & Flannel Throw Blankets

I've had customers say time and time again they love my throw blankets. They are perfect to snuggle under while watching TV or for taking a nap. Both the fleece and flannel are soft and cozy, keeping you nice and warm. They are also machine washable. Depending on the width of the flannel, they range from 39" t0 42" wide by 59" long. Normally priced at $49.00, they are on sale now for$24.50 each plus shipping and handling. For the After-Christmas Sale, that's 50% off the regular price.

Custom Fleece & Flannel Additions

For only $12.00, you can add fleece borders to the flannel print to make the flannel blanket 43" to 45" wide. The fleece adds two inches to each side of the blanket. You can also make your blanket super warm by adding a second layer of fleece for only $10.00.
