Done and done

I completed fifteen cloth napkins (ten made from unbleached cotton and five made from a brown floral print cotton). I also finished ten unbleached cotton utensil holders. And finally, I fulfilled my commitment with ten unbleached cotton lunch bags of which nine were lined with a primarily purple based floral print cotton and a single bag was lined in the brown floral print cotton that matches five of the napkins.

I printed 100 business cards to be included in the donation. A special offer is included on the back of each card.

All of the above was shipped in a recycled box to New York this morning.

I am thankful both for taking part in this project as well as the fact that it is now behind me. I look forward to watching the episode in the near future.

Now, I am going to do a but of sewing for the shop and a few other things on my list.

Happy Saturday y'all!!!

Happy Friday

TGIF = Thank Goodness It's Friday

Not sure if I have mentioned it here lately (or ever) but I am a member of the Eco-Etsy team on Etsy. My favorite materials had another life before I use them to make into something new.

Anyway... I mention that to get around to this... Our team is donating items to a giveaway on the Martha Stewart Show. I am making ten lunch bags, ten utensil holders, and fifteen napkins (napkins in progress shown). Very exciting. Also I am going to start promoting my team members (plus other crafty friends) and their products in my posts here.

Check out this Pale Ale soap {http://www.etsy.com/listing/69741649/pale-ale-cedarwood-beer-soap-5-oz-as} handmade by Eco-Etsy team member Erin Krug of krugsecologic.

I save all of my scraps {those that are too small to use for anything else} in an empty Blue Bell container and then use them as filler for dog beds. My sweet Bebe loves her bed. And the bed washes/dries in the machine.

I enjoy making fabric flowers. This yellow Vera fabric flower is attached to an everyday bag that I made for a friend. The flower is made from a vintage Vera napkin and the center is a vintage rhinestone button from my husband's maternal grandmother's collection.

So... On this perfect day to stay inside kind of day, what are *you* doing???

It is overcast today with a very good chance of rain showers bringing six plus inches to Central Texas.
