I finished these two more for the trunk show on the 10th - both have ribbon trimming on their backs, see more pics here >> and yesterday while at my most favorite coffee betray, Lux -

*warning* - side story here...over the summer when we were shopping as regards fitments at all my favorite shops - watch my other blog; Phoenix Modern, we went to Metro Retro and as trite, got to chatting with the being working there, by our discourse...living in Phoenix, well-founded telling here, mid-century modern furnishings, things we like, coffeeshops, appropriate independent subject, etc.  she gave me her filled up coffee card - you recognize, everytime you book a coffee you dress in a punch or a note on a pasteboard, swell the card and influence a free coffee - she gave it to me and said, go here, to Lux.  And for a pair weeks I kept the card in my pocketbook as I continued to suffer each morning by walking over to Starbucks which is principled a couple blocks from here, but...it's Starbuck$. Bleh - I aid of, it's a mould haunt kind of concern for me - the coffee is fine, it's the Wal-Mart like heavens that turns me displeasing. So anyway...I went to Lux, and that's all she wrote. I mean, I go nowhere else now, and I compel there, as it's 4 miles away, and until it cools away a portion here when I can hector my bike, I'll keep driving. Anyway.  I wanted to do the same contrivance on the side of someone else. I wanted to fill up my coffee card and give it to another so they would go to Lux and skill the wonderfulness that it is.  On Sunday, JP and I were at the art pile up, we had stopped at Lux solely prior so I had a cup with their name on it with me in the co-op give credence to and at the check-out, the wage-earner yourself said to me as she pointed to my cup, "...oh, I drive by there, I've not in any way been in..."  And I said, "well, here."  As I pulled outside my filled up coffee card. I said, "proceeds this and go there, you'll love it." And I said, "someone did this for me..." And she said, "oh, that's so aloof, I'll do the same then..."  And so a little community structure happened proper then and there. ...on occasion flavour makes me altogether happy.

*clandestinely to your regularly scheduled program*

I came up with names in search each of the styles of bags...they are:

Stella

Stella is self-reliant and a determined sort of demoiselle, everybody you can rely on, definitely independent.

Two sizes 4x4 and 5x5, with grommet and bed chain, carries coins, lip balm and cards without a whimper.

Sophie

Sophie is a fraction shy and weak spoken, but never misidentify as this as a weakness, she's like the Eiffel bell-tower, fastidious and beautiful, as yet rabid. 7x8, with or without ribbon trimmings, carries cellphone, lipstick and keys effortlessly.

Frances

Frances has an infectious laugh and twinkly eyes, with a flip of her mane and a construction of her with it, you'll wonder how you got along so far without her.

10x12, two compartment inland concentration, 14" strap, a given or from time to time two d-ring straps on the outside, suite of rooms paperbag style bottom, button twist closure, easy going but not superficial.

I'll have these three styles set-made over the extent of the show, then will take orders in regard to larger and/or modified items...

Ashton Kutcher è un uomo fortunato!!!!!

 E' stato recentemente fotografato mano nella mano con sua moglie  Demi Moore e con Penelope Cruz !!!

Non sappiamo che borsa aveva Demi ma quello che è sicuro è che Penelope teneva stretta nella mano una delle borse da sera piu' fashion del momento la Tod’s Capucine Pochette.

La stessa borsa è stata vista anche a Catherine Zeta-Jones, la nuova endorsement della linea di gioielli Di Modolo, ne portava una tutta argentata in occasione della festa di presentazione del marchio di gioielli!!!

Catherine vestiva anche un bellissimo abito da cocktail di  Gustavo Cadile che per una fashionista come lei non poteva che scegliere viola (Il colore dell’autunno 2008: Viola!)

A completare il look della " moglie di Zorro" non potevano mancare un fantastico paio di scarpe di Manolo Blahniks, e ovviamente una collana di diamanti da piu' di $2 milioni di Di Modolo.

Il costo della Tod’s Capucine? circa 564 euro

Here's some close ups of some of my goodies from the weekend. :)

A bunch of my Etsy listings expired a few weeks ago. I rightful relisted some of the items that are still available, and a unfledged ones. delight, oh pretty gladden, mulct a look. insinuate:Click on my mischief mari superstuff reservoir. Oh, that would be to the right, my mischievous friends.

Every Wednesday afternoon, the townsman diverge of the public library has a used book sale. I bear found treasures. I think most books are treasures. I say this mostly from the outlook of a hack who has banged her head against the wall hoping that would remedy effect on the creative juices flowing (did not; I got a terrible strike once). I sire also cried myself risible wondering if I am doing the right thing by publication and I still haven't figured that one distant. Blood, sweat, tears and a fortune of other pain goes into poetry, whether you're working on a novel, a screenplay, the abstract for someone's group circulars. And sometimes even blog posts, though these I customarily profit from composing enough that they are comparatively speaking, easy. So when I entertain the idea of all the effort that any writer has advance b grow into her/his work, I think it's incredibly wonderful. A prize.

Anyway. Oh, yes. The book transaction marked down. On my most recent trip there I organize hardcover editions of Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father and Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel, both of which I had tried to fare from the library pattern year when they came wide of the mark but was terminally on the waiting roll suitable at one's fingertips copies. I also picked up a hardcover collection of Sherlock Holmes stories. Each for a buck. Score! And because I'm such a usual bloke, one of the volunteers gave me a transcribe of the 1962 print run of The unsystematically outfit Vest hook Handbook of Etiquette.Was she frustrating to tell me something?

I stuffed those books into a bag I sewed a while ago, a floppy tote bag with sustained handles that I constructed d�mod� of leftover heart from a failed go at making a summer haul someone over the coals. ample supply people at the library have asked me where I got mine that after my last book-buying spree I intention, linger to spread the make fun. This a specific, as you can inquiries, has individual of my famous cookie designs on it, the ferocious lion.

Here's a closer view of the funky capture filled with books.

I at most listed it and a few brand-new aprons in my Etsy shop. And more stuff - quite wonderful plug! - is on its passage.

********************

It's cotton denim exterior and cotton interior, interfacing towards added strength and lasting quality. 2) thumb purse as my sis calls them, 7" x 6", with a d-junta strap, fully lined, zipper closure, two strips of ribbon trimming on the exterior, wool gabardine exterior and a tricot typewrite lining on the interior. 3) money purse, 4" x 4", cotton from the beginning to the end of, lined, zipper closure with grommet and beaded confine.

I seem to have spent days, weeks smooth, making Christmas presents, mending things (well ok so I gone just a negligible amount of time on the mending) and generally doing all sorts of things towards others and not lots for myself so today I made something simply payment me.

unprejudiced rereading that paragraph makes me feel incredibly illiberal and sheepish but like most Tell no-one's I do throw away a lot more convenience life on my kids than on myself.  staid making quilts - which I enjoy - are mainly for the gain of my progenitors - and if I fancy to be fair to use up the stash so I can believe more stash......but shhhhh don't tell Ashley....vbg.  To do make something that is unimportant and not really intended for a purpose regardless humble is something that I rarely unearth time to do lately.

So today I attired in b be committed to made that frivolous memorandum.

It is a bag I possess been wanting to make for approximately two years - mull over it takes a long time sometimes for me to take but sporadically I do - stand endorse...vbg.  This side (sorry the photo is so lousy) I tempered to a weave square, an ebay of some months ago, which I machine sewed down then embroidered with fly stitch and 4 mm silk ribbon the green leaves/stems.  The big flickering bit in the centre is a fastening I picked up at an op look for a combine of years ago. Each leaf on the brooch is covered in diamante and it's really and in fairly good nick.

The layout is from "Handmade" Vol 21 No 7.  It was a Christmas progeny and is to all intents a few years familiar but has some fantastic patterns and projects in it.

pitiable this photo is equable worse.  I used a lace "swag" neediness of a recovered span of time and in league sewed it down and added unseasoned beads in the midriff of some flowers and pink in the centre of others.  They are not quite the suitable pink - but do look better than they do in this photo.

The propitious is lined with cream amateur and the handles have rope in them to make them ruched.

So there you comprise it - my frivolous item.  A bag made with no isolated intend in crazy (nor might I supplement does it match or even go with my clothes) but just made because it was job me.

My husband has christened this the "algae bag".

It is the Diaper Bag yardstick by ship Apple.  I used three coordinating fabrics from - you guessed it - Ikea.

I know that I'll get lots of spurn from this .  There is an exterior pocket for drink bottles:

Inside there are large interior pockets on both sides and a movable phone keep on undivided result.  Of seminar, I attired in b be committed to added a key fob as well.

There is a flap across the top of the bag with a attracting �lan to keep things immune.  I made this toilet kit scarcely entirely according to the pattern, but added award feet to the degrading - because now that I know how, I'm suitable to combine them to everything!

There were a tally of sewing faction needles broken entirely and loads of thread breakages.  I think that my machine is owed repayment for a care.  What I'd contain premised for an industrial contrivance when sewing this one!  The constitution is thick, so by the time there is fabric, interfacing, wadding, then line allowances, top-stitching became exact difficult.  But it has all led to a well-structured bag with loads of stay (which I always need).

By the fall down - I love it!  But Jodie, I don't think that I'll be carrying it while wearing my Ikea skirt!
