New Creations!

Been awful busy making new creations for the coming holiday season--using up fabrics from my stash!  I love using my fabrics!  Here are a couple of crayon aprons that I enjoyed making:

and then I have been making more holiday coaster sets:

I've had a lot of fun.  

What have you been up to creatively?

Matching Coasters!

We are house and pet sitting for a friend, which involves some TV watching, since we need to stay close.  I always have my tea cup handy and my hubby likes to have ice water.  Our friends have matching recliners and end tables facing the TV, but much to my surprise, no coasters!  There was a folded paper towel on one end table, so I decided to make use of the huge sewing studio and using some of my fabric scraps, make them some -- matching their mostly blue decor, of course!

  What do you think?   

Work finished!

On the 8th of this month, I shared some of my work in progress--see post.    (I reserve Thursday's for my work in progress post!)  I was working half market aprons.

If you remember, I asked for some help in picking out fabric combinations.  I didn't make a big deal of it, but I mentioned that I would send a prize to one of my lucky commenters! (It helps to read carefully to win! :) I chose this set of coasters with a tan coffee drink print on one side and beautiful pink and cocoa hearts on the other to give away!

So, since there was only one comment, I didn't need to use a random selector!  The prize goes to Edi of Etsy's memoriesforlifesb shop! She is a fellow blogger and I appreciate her faithfulness to comment regularly on my blog posts.  Thanks Edi! (Please visit her blog)  Also, Edi has a brand new studio decorated in pink! I think these should match nicely!  Love ya! Edi!

Oh . . . and . . . here are a few of my finished aprons:

And the combination that Edi chose:

Thanks Edi!  

P.S.  You could also use the coasters for wine coasters with your etched wine glasses ;)
