A not so Posey wristlet

I didn't intend to even post anything for a couple of days....BUT!!! I had to show off this Posey wristlet I made this morning.  I am making a few up for Christmas gifts (getting a good start on my gift making!) and I had some of this creamy white vinyl laying on the shelve.. Its really soft and was wanting to make a purse but got to thinking it would make a cute clutch too!
I used Sasha's Tutorial for her Posey wristlet. Its a simple pattern and very easy to make. I made one a few months back. (HERE) I really want to keep this one!! I have more of the vinyl so maybe make a couple more up..

 Who doesn't like zebra print??? hehehe

Like my ivy ?? Its one plant I have kept alive !!! No green thumb here.The trails of it are as long as 5 foot.

 Do you like my fancy pumpkins? I made those last year.. Actually those and a few more I made is what got me started stalking some of the craft blogs I follow, and lead me to do my own blog!

I added a little tie at the end of the zipper , just because lol. And easy to grab!
This wristlet is very roomy and will probably hold tons of stuff! I use the one I made before and I just put a small wallet and keys and my phone, but would hold more I'm sure!
I want to make matching coin wallets for these wristlets.. Wouldn't that look cute??
Don't forget to sign up for my give away!! You can sign up for email if you don't have a blog. Thank you!

My new Ottlite!!

I won a table version Ottlite from little birdie secrets blog a few weeks ago on a give away.. I received it yesterday!! i wasn't expecting it for a few more weeks actually and was very surprised to come home and that it was sitting in my living room. = ) Doug said, UPS man brought ya something..yay!!
I didn't get it unwrapped until today though as I had Zoey bug all day yesterday and well, if she saw it had a button on it for a light , it would be all over with!!

Excuse my messy table.. I've been "thinking" again..

This was the initial first meeting to my old lamp.. she very stylish huh?? But always wanted to knock over at the slightest touch..

You think she took it ok?? She looks sortof glum..= (

I think the new one is proud to set on my desk..I didn't put the old one out to pasture.. she is going to set on my other smaller table =) I think she likes it there better.. 

The light is soooooo much better with the Ottlite.. BIG difference!! And it has a carry handle if I wanted to take it to another room!!

Thought I would show you some things that I put in the Etsy store.. (some say shop, I'm a store person hehe)

Enjoy your weekend!!

I'm not feeling so good so this is short =)

Another wallet finished!

 Pattern is sold Here from NapKitten.

I had this custom ordered and I like it! And!!! I finally got my binding right! yay!
I did use the seam REAPER a couple of times but not so much cursing this time.. hehe

I have one more to make for another order with a purse.. I can't wait to do these as it will be done in digi camouflage !!! I just hope Joann has it tomorrow when I run up there...I haven't seen it around too much..

I cut out four notebook covers tonight. Will try to get a little assembly line going in my sewing room tomorrow. They will be going in Etsy.. unless my DIL-to be, Liz grabs those too! hehe

Remember the Ottlite I won?? They contacted me for mailing info and should be receiving that in a couple of weeks. Super excited about that!

Speaking of giveaways... As I mentioned before I wanted to do something for my 1 year blog birthday.. Next Friday (not this coming but NEXT one ) a week from this Friday..K? lol.....I'll be posting my next give away!! I haven't made up the item yet but its in the works and will be finished I promise by the 28th!
I know it was the weekend when I posted the other day about the Pay it Forward, but there is still room for 2 more people!! Don't be shy!!! It's opened for all friends near and far!! and far , far, and FAR FAR FAR away!!!  Read about it Here!!
If you do have a blog but don't do crafty things, you can send anything to your peeps that sign up with you. Everyone loves to get surprises in the mail!!! (there was one surprise I got last week I DID NOT LIKE! my electric bill did not go down as I thought it should of since we were not running a A/C or heater! what is the deal with that Mr. Remc??? Grr.)

Recently I was reading a blog ( what? me? ) and came up with a idea.. They seem to rattle alot around in my head.. but anyways.. I love to read!!! I have 3 different books going this week! I usually don't do that because I like to be focused on one at a time. But my local library got the set of books in that I've been wanting forever and they gave me all three at once.. THEN another book came in that I was on the list for.. yikes! So reading is  going on big time in this house.
Oh , my idea was to list some books I'm reading.. and I thought it would be fun if you would let me know what you are reading right now! or just finished or want to read!!! I keep a little notebook with me to mark books down I want to pick up if I'm near a used book store.. So give me some good ones!
I like drama, mystery, crime,(darker the better) and funny biography's.
Here is my list this week
-Catching Fire by  Suzanne Collins (book 2 of 3 from The Hunger Games series)
-Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich.. ( totally funny books!)
-Sign of the Cross by Chris Kuzneski (darker detective sort of ) this is book 2. its a series too, I think there is like 8 or so out??
-Blood Ties by Jennifer Lash (I'm not sure about this one, I picked it up at a Goodwill last week.)
-I second that Emotion by Patsy Clairmont (my sister gave me this one and started it but not went back yet, its on the list!)

Catch ya later!!
