Wallets, Wallets & more Wallets

Sorry I've been missing for a few days.  I've got this cold/flu bug and it has knocked me out.  Hopefully, I'll feel better by Monday for work............or not :)

I wanted to share with you one of my most popular custom orders I get.  The NCW wallet by Emmaline Bags.  I love this wallet.  SO many features and easily customizable.  Even holds a cell phone, plus so much more.  An awesome gift idea for any woman!!

This is the inside of the wallet for the custom set above.   There is room for 12+ credit cards, a coin pocket, a spot for your cell phone and the other area can be used for lipstick, chapstick or a pen, and two places for your bills.  This one has the crossbody longer strap.  You can remove it and use as a wallet, or attach when you are going shopping and don't want to carry a big purse around.

These ones all have twist locks: 

And these have magnetic snaps for closures.

And this one has the push/pull closure.

They all come with a zipper charm on the inside, depending on the theme or occasion or who it's for.  This one was a gift from mom to daughter for Valentine's Day (and she loved giraffes).  It matches the Ipad cover I showed you here that I made for the same gal.  The one with the butterfly embroidery on the front:

A few more inside shots 

So that's probably enough wallet photos for today ;)  Hope you enjoyed looking at them.  If you want to custom order one for yourself, message me on Facebook or email me and tell me what you are wanting.  We will plan it together.

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon

I {heart} Justin Bieber

No not me :)  My girlfriend's daughter is totally infatuated with him.  

I promised I would make her a little something to thank her for making my daughter a wooden sign that was decorated up with "One Direction".  Another boy band in case you hadn't heard of them.  Something for her in return.  Girls these days :)

Every girl should have a journal no matter what age.  I still use one - just not faithfully like I used to. It's good for them to put their thoughts down on paper sometimes to sort life out.  I found one of mine from when I was 10 and had just lost my mom.  I sat down and read through the whole thing.  Sure brought back a whole lot of feelings.  And kinda cool that I still had it to help me remember all that I went through.

So this is what I did for her.  She loves purple so I found a very pretty turquoise with purple.  Love the tropical look to it.  I found a Justin Bieber applique design too!

The elastic was definitely a good idea to keep it closed when not used.

I love this print - I am going to get some more in different colors.  

I attached a ribbon to mark her place when she needs to.

And of course, the embroidery close-up.

I really like how it turned out and I know she will.  I will add a pocket next time to the inside I think.  A place to hold some notes or photos.

And I may as well show you what I made her mom.  It is from the fabric collection: Free Spirit - Tula Pink - Saltwater (corals).  Love these beachy prints.  I let her choose which two she wanted and then I surprised her. 

I didn't have the proper gray to use so I went with coral color embroidery thread.  Blends a little too well I think, but I still love it.

Just completed another order - His 'n Her towels with Blowing Kisses penguins.  They will be going to Lorrie in AZ tomorrow I hope. Will share those with you soon :)

Until then, pop over to my Facebook page and you can look at all my projects there.  Be sure to LIKE my page if you stop by too.  Now to finish off a birthday gift, get started on my "baby boy basket" and I'm dying to sew up one of my embroidered totes.  It has been a while and I've got some stitched out ready to go together.

And remember...............

More Towel Ideas....

So today I wanted to share a couple other towel ideas as promised.  They could be used for gifts for any occasion.  The first is a set of His 'n Her towels that were done for a custom order for an anniversary.  This couple loves penguins so.............

We found these penguins.  Boy and girl and he has some flowers for her.  Awwwww, so cute and totally screams anniversary to me.  Needless to say they loved them :)

These penguins are a little more "cute" but still say anniversary too.  I can't tell who is blowing the kiss to who but I love the chubbyness of these little guys.
 

  

You could also hang these during the holidays for guests coming to visit.  They would love this idea!

Better run to get more pictures taken.  Lots of projects to share, lots more projects to get done with the holidays not tooo far away.

Enjoy your day :)

Busy, Busy, Busy

Hey everyone!  Hope you are all having a great week!  Been super busy at work so haven't had much time to get on the computer.
Char, my partner in crime, came to visit me from Kelowna.  We had so much fun running around checking out the "fabric" store here and found another little quilt shop in Trail. We didn't get to do any creating since I'm still unpacking, but checked out and planned some future projects.  We even went to a small fall fair that was on over the weekend and checked out what competition there would be for us next year.  It was like a  mini Armstrong Fair or Rutland May Days, just no rides, but they had horses!  Small town fair for sure.  Didn't see anything similiar to our products so we are planning to go in next year :)  Could be fun doing a small town fair.
Did you see the new picture I added of the two of us on our sidebar?  My son did a mini photo session with us since we had absolutely no pictures of the two of us.  Figured we may need them in the future, so I put on up LOL.
Today I want to share with you some kitchen towels that would make awesome gifts.  Whether it be wedding, birthday, Christmas - they can be personalized any way.  

They each come with a matching crocheted dish cloth as well.  We will be doing some Christmas themed ones soon too ~ since it is under 100 days away hehehehe.  I say that for a girlfriend of mine who I keep bugging about Christmas not being too far away.  Hey Vanessa??
Anyway, you can always email and let us know what color combo you would like and what design.  I will be sharing some more towel designs and styles which are totally cool!  You can also check out our Facebook page from the link on the side to see other ideas too and LIKE us if you want :)  Never too early to start planning for gifts right?

Thanks for stopping by!

Tropical Toucan

Hey everyone ~ happy hump day!

First day of spring was yesterday and I woke up to a huge black cloud over us, blowing like crazy and rain, bits of snow....... and then the afternoon was beautiful blue skies and a little wind.  Sure hope it starts to get warmer and no more snow!! I am so ready for summer :)

Today I want to share another tote bag that I did for a friend.  Actually, she custom ordered it for her friend and only asked for it to have a toucan and a little tropical-like.  Perfect! Right up my alley!

 I absolutely love this decor weight fabric and it was a perfect match for the embroidery design. 

A little closer of the toucan detail....such a fun design to create!

A little grassy trim that was on the selvage edge from the main piece of the tote that I cut off.  Rather than throw away, I thought it would be a great trim for the design.

And a quick view of the inside -












This is one of my favorites I think so far.  And they are getting very popular.  I think this is the 7th or 8th one my girlfriend has ordered for a gift!!!   Thanks Tracy <3

I'm off to finish another project for our stock - a distressed aviator jacket for a little man.  It is very cute.  And one more picture for the road........................

Totally suitable for the summertime I would say :)

Thanks for dropping by friends.............
