Some sewing.. and purchases for my Filofax's


I got so many things on my list to do I can't decide what to do first! I just stare at the list and end up reading a book! haha
I did manage to cut out a project and sew it all in ONE day! 
I made this little cuddly robe for my sweet grand daughter !!!
It looks big in this photo but its for a 3 year old and its littler than what it looks.. I used soft fleece and oh it is nice and warm! I'm going to make her a second one to keep at the house, this one goes home with her.. I got to thinking though, her dad moved out of our house and now I will have to make her a third one to stay with her dad... "poor" kid will have so many things and toys in 3 different houses!! haha

I had a custom order for one of my feminine product pouches and I went and just made 3 while I was at it..They are easy to put together and I wanted my customer to choose. I have 2 of these newly listed in my Etsy shop! (the Zebra and Mushroom prints)
On this next project I am not quit finished with but wanted to show you the cuteness!!! I still have to add my buttons for the closures... 
I made these doll house purses for gifts.
I love my polka dots!!! 
 The inside are just as cute!! They fold down to have a little garden path up to the house.. I tried adding a window in my first house and it didn't work out lol so I left the next one alone.. still cute! I am working on a boy version now..

I HAVE to show off my new purchases from JapanCorner . I have been following Sachico's blog for a little while and she makes her own stickers and stamps and more goodies , you have to go check out her stuff!!! She custom made this keyring for my son. (a gift and he doesn't read my blog so I'm safe!)
He has been studying Japanese writing and learning to speak it and I knew I had to get this for him. It says his name , Stephen, (pronounced STEFEN) on one side and on the flip side is Zoey's name, his daughter. 
The writings around the name are names of fish. He will have to look them up his self what they say! lol 
 I also had Sachico make me some adorable stamps! She had these whipped up in no time.I Love them! They are oh so tiny and work very well with my Filofax!  I have started making my own stamps but not so little ones yet.. I'm not that good yet!
 She designed these little mushroom stickers for me!!! Also tiny and cute and they will be used sparingly!
(kinoko means mushroom)
She just designed some monthly FF pages and new dividers! OHHH MY GOSH so cute! go check them out HERE!!!
 Sorry about the glare, I took these at night and with just my lamp.
I will have to do a post on my stamps and stickers being used in side my FF soon.. I'm just set up in it yet and still arranging things how I like. 
The Filofax US site had a sale each day this last week.. a cyber monday sale everyday. I just couldn't hold back.....yes...........I purchased.. lol
not one,, not 2 but..........3..gulp..
HUSH SASHA! lol
I been wanting the Holborn slim in brown and they just happened to have it marked down 30%!!! I wanted to use it for my checkbook, finance planner. And I can carry it with me..
The other two are Petal pockets. They were marked half off! At 11$ each I had to get one and they are cute! But as much as I would to use one of them I got them for gifts.. Oh I'm tempted to go back to get ME one lol should I???? They had free shipping over 10$ too!!!  Isn't it pretty? 
I guess when I get a addiction.. I go all out for it! lol I won't talk about my fabric's I keep. But I'm not as bad as someone I know!!!!!! =0)
I will be getting my Holborn Slim today and will show a post on my set up soon! I have my cut up inserts ready for it already!! 
I'm going to try to finish up some more sewing gifts today...I'm doing better then I was last year!!! 
Have a great weekend!

Seriously???

A whole month I haven't posted??? Whaaaa???
I have missed it though! And I got some goodies to show you!

Lets see.......hmmm some of you have seen some of this on  my facebook, but I'll post them anyways.. I can't remember anything I've done lately lol

I made a jumper and a princess robe for my friends little girl. She turned 3 and she's a princess of course.. so I had to make the robe just for her = ) She loves it! and wears it to bed (as hot as it has been!)  and had wore it to town once lol





I been making some custom E reader covers and been having some very satisfied customers !!! =)

 This red one was a weird size for a Sony reader and I thought the cut out of the card board I used for sizing looked tight.. but the device fit perfectly!!! yay!
 I designed a wallet.. again.. I made one similar awhile back and got mad at it and threw it in my corner , I think its still there! hehe
But this one I made this morning and I loved the colors I used and thought I had it figured out! It a easy pattern and not sure what I was doing wrong!
cute huh???
 It has 6 card slots and a receipt/cash pocket.. I like simple.. I wanted a clear window for my license and I.D.

I put all my goodies inside and closed it and it was TIGHT! omgosh what?
I wasn't happy with it.. what I did wrong the bias trim on the clear pocket is too thick.. and I used heavier fabric for the exterior and interfaced it ......blah!

So.. back to the drawing board..oh, after a power outage of about a hour !!!
I made it a tad longer and used quilter cottons and interfaced with thinner stuff.
TADA!!
 I'm soo happy with this one! All my cards slots are roomy ,
 My receipt pocket will hold lots of receipts..
 and it closes great!!! I stitched up 3 lines instead of one middle one.. it closes better! gives it a book like feel .

I believe I want to make some of these up to sell..My mom and I are going to try to get a yard sale going soon and I'll try to sell some of my crafty things.

I'm making this tote bag but ran out of the fabric I used..this is what I've finished so far.
 I made a littler bag of the same patter and it was like way too small and love the pockets on this bag!
See my welted pocket!!! I'm proud of that baby!

Theres a large deep pocket on the back and the dived pocket on the front.
I have to get fabric for the straps.. I used this pattern from HERE . I think I bought it from Joann's ,I can't remember for sure...
I'll be craft supply shopping tomorrow!! Got to get fabric for a new messenger bag I'm helping to test by Jane at http://projectsbyjane.blogspot.com/ .!!! She is very detailed with her patterns and I love them. You need to go over and check out her free tutorials as well as her Etsy shop!!! 

A storm is coming so need to get off her and I think my sewing bug is back..There has been alot going on with me and I just told myself to get with it SUE!!! snap out of it! .....slap slap.. I got many things to catch up on!!! Seeya!
