bags for sale

 

 

my sewing weekend resulted in a  bunch of bags for the craft fair, which i should be posting some information about, right?! i will get that up soon, but can say now that it will take place on sunday, december 1st at buoy in kittery, maine. i believe the hours are 10-5!

i made some zip bags using my favorite echino fabric with the deer and flowers, and a few with a heavy olive green canvas paired with some sweet vintage fabrics and heavy zippers. see that  letter fabric at the top? that is one of brian's collages put onto fabric. how cool is that??

then the other day i found that super adorable christmas fabric and thought it would make some great reusable gift bags. anything with deer on it and i'm in!

damn cold out there today! i went up to the woods this afternoon to collect another bag full of pinecones in case it snows tonight. i do love snow!

happy hump day!

treasure time!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

i found some good stuff yesterday!  i love that sweet bunny needlepoint. i'm going to use the boxes for my craft fair display, and how about the omnigrid ruler for only $3.00!?  i've been needing one of those and what a great deal!  i couldn't get a very good photo of the little bobblehead deer, but so cute!

the vanilla box says it is good for making blanc mange.  that should come in handy!

happy tuesday!

happy friday!

so sorry for lack of posting this week! it has been quite dreary (although we really need the rain!), and all of the photos i've taken this week have basically been crap!

the new cd by "the national" came out this week, and it is soooooooooo good. slow and dreamy, beautiful and sad... here is some music by the national to start off your weekend on the right foot!

some christmas bling

i've been "sprucing" things up a bit around here. we usually don't get a tree as our house is quite small, ( and i live with a "humbug-ian") , but i love the wonderful smell of greens in the house and they are so pretty!! so, what i do , is make a garland out of people's tree trimmings that i find...at the dump! it's great-i go to the big compost heap and there are piles of branches, free for the taking!

i also have my little deer collection, and a couple of vintage santas, so we're looking a little festive!

i really wish i wouldn't keep losing my christmas lists.......

up on the rooftop reindeer pause...

i do love deer, especially vintage-y deer. gives me one more thing to collect! i did a bit of christmas decorating this weekend , visited an alpaca farm(my photos were disappointing...), and knit, knit, knit.

lots of christmas-y goodness coming up this week, so stay tuned!
