Updates!!!

I have updated my blog page.. less colors but still a pop to it :)))
I have not been on lately but have been sewing new things.. 
I opened up a BigCartel shop for some new items I have been making.. I will be adding some different things as well later on.
My Etsy shop is still open but I want to try to see how this new shop works out!!!
You can find it here  Applehead Threads BigCartel
To get updates easier and faster you can sign up to this blog email posts!! (over to the right side!!) And of course I'm on Bloglovin, Pinterest, Instagram (my fav!!) and Facebook!  (again all over on the side bar!!)
Here is a sample of some items I'm sewing now for custom orders and have sewn in the past.

These are very popular with my stationary groups :))

These I call Sleeper Keepers.

Its just a fold down padded clutch can be used for anything.

And you can store your pretty planner inside so it won't get all scuffed up!

Thanks for looking. More updates are coming with new items! 

Where are my pens and keys???

Silly title.... lol

I wanted to show off what my Momma made me!!! I was talking about these pencil roll ups I been wanting to make myself and she told me to give her some fabric and she made it for me! I love it! She put a flap on the top...

 I gave her the main outer fabric and she used what she had for contrasting. She is a quilter so she has a eye for color matching.. =0)
See all my pens, markers, pencils and highlighters fit snug and warm!!!

 And then its all folded up! I had rolled it up but the pens made it very bulky and I liked it this way better.. I still have to attach the closure. Might not need one...

  I had a small custom order for some key fobs. I gave one for a friend and she ordered 5 ! lol
Here are the custom colors she wanted...

I'm about to finish my holiday sewing!!! YAY for me! This morning I finished a custom order for a night gown, one cd holder (that goes on a car visor, pics of those to come later!) , 5 key fobs. Last week I made at least 7 dozens cookies!!! They went as gifts, and ate! lol Going to bake some more this Saturday... wow... Have a great week! Are you finished with your shopping??? I have small gifts in my Etsy shop!! LOL 

Pic heavy post!! Sewing and Filofaxing

I have a lot of photos to show you.. Its been a long busy week , or it seems like it.. Either been sitting at the sewing machine or sitting in the drivers seat or chasing Zoey.... I grabbed my coffee and my laptop and flopped my butt down in my recliner and not moving for awhile.. so thought I would get this post out...
First for my sewing crafty friends here is my sneaky peek of what I did sew up.. some gifts , yep they are towels...but you can't see what I did to them..hehehehe..will have to wait...

I also made some flaps for a gun belt.. the clips slide down inside. The cheap little elastic things weren't working to keep the ammo clips down inside very well... so I made some custom flaps for them

Now some Filofax stuffs...

I received my newest Filofax hehe.. the Holborn personal. One of these days I will learn all the names!

I love incorporating my sewing skills with my Filofax's. I have some other things I want to try out but this is one of the ideas I had to try out first... 

As using my Holborn personal I love that my pens stays put in the little pen holder. But one pen? NO, I need more then one.. I need color choices..

I had this idea of a pen holder pocket that I did try out.. not bad, maybe show it another day. It used up too much space though.

So anywho...I  go to looking at the flap and wondered if I could make something to slide over it.. no it wouldn't look right... then I looked down and saw my solution.. the pocket on the inside front.  

 This is all it is.. cardboard, of course I will pretty it up with fabric another day  lol or maybe scrapping paper.. I taped my elastic on so when I was sewing it down it wouldn't shift..

 ( shhhh , lets not tell the postal service I cut up their box before use)

 Then I just slide the card board inside my pocket. I thought sewing through the card board would be a hassle but my machine chomped right through lol

 Another little thing I made. I used a report cover .. those plastic covers.. cut it down to size and sewed the sides together. I added a decorated stitch on the bottom... = 0)
That is Zoey's art work btw...she loves her pens and paper just like her gramma.. I just have to keep her out of my good stuff!!!

 Isn't this pretty?

 And of course I have to show my kid off in the pocket.... I use this page to put a post it note for my things to do for the next day.. (not shown because I did all my things today!!) See my new FF keeps me very organized!!

I will be doing a layout post soon.. I'm just not ready for that yet.. I'm waiting on my laminating machine I ordered. I want to make my new dividers and show them off soon..I made some out of scrapping paper and with tabs and will laminate them. I also bought a label maker ! lol Well, because I have to make new labels to go on my new tabs!! 
question: I noticed some of my newer followers just follow Filofax peeps.. Should I do a separate post from my sewing posts? Or just keep it all blobbed together???  Have a good weekend!  Since Veteran's day is coming up.. thank a solider !!! I do every time I see one.. oh that is my hubby .lol.... but if I see one out in uniform I will say thank you..  I'll show you what my momma made for me next post!!!
