Pretty Maids All In A Row!

I'm heading down to my sister's salon tomorrow.  As far as I know none of my handbags have sold, but all the make-up pouches have sold, so I've made some more of those to take down with me.




I've also made some tissue pouches to take down, as folks seem to be buying smaller gifts at the moment.



I'll give you an update on sales when I return on Thursday.

Yesterday I got some wonderful post!


Thanks Elisa for your wonderful package of treats & Bee Blessed blocks.  Elisa is my lovely friend across the water in USA, and writes her blog with honesty, passion and creativity - pop on over and say hi!

I've always admired & desired one of Elisa's signature origami cranes.  And now I have one to keep my other crane company.  What should I call them?
Also in the post was the fabric I've ordered for my dad's 70th birthday Civil War quilt.  


Charlotte at The Homespun Loft was an absolute super-star in helping me choose the fabrics I needed, using her discerning eye to guide me on what worked together, and making up & photographing a bespoke bundle just for me.  Thanks Charlotte so much for your first-class service and attentiveness.

So now I need to add 'Start making Civil War blocks' to my ever growing To Do list!!

Have a great Wednesday!

  5. Hi Judith! Yes, your pouches are very pretty maids all in a row, and the tissue cozies are wonderful, too. (The latter are just the right size, too, for a small cell phone like mine). They are all just lovely. Thanks for your sweet comments and link to my blog as well. That selection of Civil War fabrics looks just beautiful together-- Charlotte did a fantastic job.

  6. Elisa is a darling - and my crane says hi to yours! I think you could call one Bill as I love the plant Crane's Bill! Hehe!

    Great fabric - will make a fantastic quilt! Well you'd better get on with it then!

    Your pouches and tissue holders are perfect - I guess everyone is feeling the pinch and down-sizing their purchasing!

  8. As soon as I saw the crane I knew the package was from Elisa. She is getting famous in blogland! Lovely blocks from her and great fabric for your dad. And the pouches - great selling. If I was there I would want the orange one in the middle. Love them all but that is my favourite.

  9. Your pouches are lovely - I especially like the combination of plain grey with the brighter colours. I'm surprised none of your lovely bags sold.

  13. Not sure where to start - well done on your sales so far, think you are right to concentrate on small stuff I keep hearing of so many disappointments at fairs etc, just don't think people are spending.
    Looking forward to the Civil War progress.

  17. Hi J, love those make-up pouches! I must have missed the original set because I haven't seen them before, but they're just gorgeous...what did you line them with? I'm using PVC on mine but it's tricky to work with...

  20. Yay for fun parcels. The names that immediately sprang to mind were Fred and Ginger, but don't ask me why! Love the pouches and tissue holders, I'm sure they'll be snapped up like the last lot :o) Good luck with the civil war quilt, the fabrics look great!
