Going to the Dogs!

My first charity auction is up and running!

I've been busy sewing bags and totes for my upcoming craft fair so I made a extra, a special one for the auction and you can find it here on  eBay.

100% of the sale price of this bag will go to help all the furry souls over at  A Place to Bark. 

Bernie Berlin is the tireless force behind this incredible place.  If you haven't heard of Bernie or her shelter here is a little blurb from the website.

"A PLACE TO BARK is a no kill foster and adoption rescue dedicated to the welfare of animals and was founded by Bernie Berlin. Established in 2001, we mainly work with Animal Control Agencies, rescuing animals from high kill shelters and fostering them until they are healthy. This provides an ideal situation for the animals. They are then placed for adoption through Humane Societies in various parts of the country. We cover all costs for the medical care of the animals with no cost to the Humane Societies. We also handle some private adoptions after a strict screening process."

If you want to help out Bernie and the animals and get a fun tote bag too, check out my auction and tell all your friends!

Color Combo Inspirations

Black and white.

Now throw in a little lime green.

 

 Then there is my perennial favorite, pink and yellow.

The List is SO Long

My "to do" list today is as long as my arm.  I've got so much to do today because tomorrow AM I am heading up the road to visit my BFF Beth and Saturday we are heading to the BIG FLEA!!

After that we are going to stop in Fairfax, VA and drop in on George Mason University and littlepeach#1 in her freshman dorm.  It's my first visit since she moved up a few weeks ago.  On today's list is making a pair of curtains for the dorm room. 

I will be packing a small bag of clothes to take and because I am such a jewelry whore I will also be packing up my little jewelry travel tote.  Just like this one that I made out of the Summer Soiree fabrics.

This one will be available in my etsy shop.

Also on the list of things to do today is to start organizing my christmas crafts.  I have been scavenging all year to find cool vintage christmas stuff to use in my creations. 

I have a huge collection of vintage christmas fabrics.  I really love these old kitschy designs.

I've decided to condense my collection  and I am letting all of these go so these fabrics are available in my LittlePeachez etsy shop.  Gotta run, so much to do today.

Late Night Soiree

It was a late night of sewing with more of the beautiful Summer Soiree fabrics.

Here is my late night sewing partner.  I know, she's a slacker.

 

Diggin' This Houndstooth

I've been busy creating purses with the fabulous Summer Soiree fabrics from Paula Prass and I am especially taken with the houndstooth pattern.  It is the perfect compliment to my vintage barkcloths.

This piece of vintage barkcloth, like so many vintage fabrics, has a slight flaw.  A tiny, tiny stain that wouldn't wash out.  Guess that means I have to keep this one.  Sooooo keepin' it.

I've got some more pretty purses in the works and I promise I won't keep those.   

This One's a Keeper

I'm keeping this one for myself.

Let's go shopping!

 

Summer Soiree in the Sewing Room

I'm working on a new bag design and here it is using some of the collection, Summer Soiree by Paula Prass.

Love that bold zig zag! 

Default Settings

The constant downpour outside dictates that I must stay in, therefore I must sew!

I'm working my way through that stack of fabric that I just cut out.

Three purses down, two more to go before I must pull out the fabric and scissors again.

We did squeeze in a movie though.  Star Trek.  Loved it.
