handmade sunglass cases

i started making those for myself(without the flower) because i usually just throw my shades in my bag, along with cameras and other things and they always get scratched. SOOOO....taaadaaaa!! I made a few for my etsy shop. They're 20% right now until July 5th.
The last 2 are made from fake leather material and they have a magnetic snap. The first two are fabric, or something like it. The white one is an interesting fake suede like material. Like I said before, I don't really know my fabrics. I'd like to own a book with all fabric samples and their names right by it. That would be cool!

AND...I have an etsy feature again today...for the weekend deals :D YAY!

fake leather clutch

ok 2am is way to late to be sewing stuff. Stuff that's made from icky fake plasticky leather thing. They've selected my "Kat" clutch for tomorrow's weekend deals on etsy- YAY! - and I was trying to finish up some projects i had in mind, most specifically some neat shades cozies or wallet things. What are they called? Sunglass cases.....?? Yeah...anyway...i was trying to fake leather vinyl stuff i found in the discount bin at the fabric store and i'm not sure exactly how to steer the machine properly and the stitching came out horrendeous. So much for that.... :\ But i'll keep them for my own personal use. Why not?

and like i said...any new flower i'm posting is part of the 100 flower project.

And FYI...the 100 flower project stopped at 91. I got stalled waiting for my bead order and then couldn't catch up. BUt i now at least have tons of beads and i'll continue to work on my flowers. I have some interesting ideas with those...like...flower napkin rings and I was thinking...Xmas decorations. I made some gold accent flowers in the past that i thought were a bit too tacky for anyting to put in your hair, but to put in a tree would be awesome. So ..look out for that!


and fancy table summer napkin rings with flowers and ribbon :D

something...

if things happen easy and effortlessly, are they more special and those "mean to be" moments?

...

or do meaningful things take time and care and need love and attention and patience to bloom?

I used to think 100% that if something was hard to get to or difficult to acquire it just "wasn't meant to be".


But is putting the effort not make it more worth it in the end?

or do you put all that effort to push something to happen that doesn't just "fall in your lap" and you struggle by putting the effort to get it?

but then if you put no effort, what happens?

stupid sewing machine!!

i don't know what's going on. It seems to fail to understand the thread tension. The threading is too tight. I don't know what that is called exactly, but even turning the little thread tension wheel doesn't do anything. BAH!!

sunburnt rat friend

this'll be my mascot for roadtrips this summer. Bought it off etsy.



why?? because i burn easily and dammit i don't care! Bring on the sun!

she's wearing a gold bathingsuit and my cat already attempted to abuse it. She doesn't even like cat toys, so why abuse my little rat? WHY??

thanks to icky dog creations

new handmade clutch named Kat

this is my latest little creation :D



It's 4.5x5.5" roughly. I'd use it as a cosmetics bag, or...if you're a pet person, for a treat bag lol...I don't know, I just make things. I'm so disorganized and cluttery, little organizers such as a makeup bag would fit nowhere in my life. But it's cute. :D

all the new flowers, whether they're attached to something(bag or hairband) they're still part of the 100 flower project.

By the way...i'm having a 20% off sale in my Garden Dub etsy shop until July 5th.
