Trifold Wallet

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18652695

New to the shop today! I've wanted to design my own wallet for some time now. I just haven't been happy with the ones I've seen other people make. My main problem with others is that it seems like the credit cards will just slip right on out of the wallet! So I made one that actually will keep them in place!

The wallet all opened up! Four credit card slots and 3 roomy pockets for cash, receipts, coupons, etc.

Close up of the main part of the wallet.

The wallet folds from right to left and then from left to right. There are two velcro closure spots to ensure everything stays in its place!

Here's the link to the listing in my shop! Go check it out!

Christmas Loungewear

My son wanted me to make him some Christmas PJs. He picked the Christmas fabric from my stash that he wanted and I went to Target and got a plain shirt and then appliqued the Santa on it. The pants and the Santa applique are from Alexander Henry fabrics. Here he is modeling his new loungewear for the holidays!

Auto Sneeze -- an Etsy favorite of mine!

I haven't had time to do much posting, but thought I'd start some entries on here on some of my favorite Etsy buys.

This first one is great! It's very useful, unique and attractive, too! It's the Auto Sneeze Tissue cozy for your car visor! This item from The Mod Mobile on Etsy is wonderful! My son is always asking for a tissue from the back seat (well, he just screams "BOOGER" at me) and I never was able to get to one while I was driving... then voila! The Auto Sneeze saves the day! I can easily get to a tissue without being distracted while I'm driving! She has them available in many many different designer fabrics (all of which I LOVE!) and includes a starter pack of travel size tissues, too!

This would make a great Christmas gift for anyone really, especially parents of young kids who scream "BOOGER!". And at $7.00 plus shipping, it's a really good buy too! So go check out The Mod Mobile and see for yourself! While you're there also look at her Auto Trash Car Litter Bags. I have one of these in my car as well and just LOVE IT!

Mountains in the Fall

Thought I'd share some pictures I took yesterday while up on the mountain for a drive. It's just beautiful here in the Shenandoah Valley this time of year with the leaves changing! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Ballet Bag

Here's a ballet bag that I made for a friend's 3 year old daughter who is taking ballet. What do you think? I'm making another one with black accent ribbon now and I'll
post pics of that when I get it done.

This bag has a quilted lining and coordinating inner side pocket. The straps are accented with grossgrain ribbon. The outside of the bag looks like a tutu with the tulle and ribbon. I also sewed on a "necklace" and some shiny buttons!
