Dragonfly Purse and Eyeglass Case

I have a few finishes to share today!  First, my Hot Pink Dragonfly Purse:

I think I mentioned the other day that the dragonfly is from a vintage pendant.  I don't remember where I got it but look at it closely, it's so beautiful!

I also finished the eyeglass case for Scott's mom:

I love purple with aqua blue.  I have to do more in with these colors!

Another Purse Update

It's like Whinnie The Pooh and the blustery day outside!  Very cold, very windy and snow blowing around.  Isn't it Spring yet?   I know, I know....soon.  According to my calender, Spring starts on March 1st.  I won't have it any other way!  LOL!!!!!

Here's another update on my current purse project:

Maria asked me about my lace pieces, if I bought them that way or if I painted them.  I always paint my own lace and I do it per project, rather than painting a whole bunch in advance.  It only takes a few minutes and then I dry them in the microwave and they're ready to sew on.

Speaking of sewing, I put together my last purse and my little eye glass case yesterday.  I just have to do the hand finishing so I expect to have photos of the finished pieces for you tomorrow.

That's my news for today everyone!

Update on Purse

I did some stitching this morning so I thought I'd share an update on my latest purse:

I'm going to run my sewing machine and finish up my pink purse and my eye glass case from yesterday's post and then I'll stitch on this some more.  I love the colors in this one!

A Few Stitched Pieces

Yes, I've been stitching away the early morning hours so I thought I'd share a few of my stitched pieces today.

First, an eyeglass case that my mother in law asked me for:

And then this pretty pink Dragonfly Purse:

The dragonfly is a piece of vintage jewelry.  It's a beautiful piece and in mint condition.  Be sure to look at it closely.  Obviously, I need to sew these 2 pieces up so I'll post another photo when they're ready but I thought you'd like to see some of my latest stitched pieces.

My Easter Blessings Hanging Pillow is model for my upcoming book:

This one is so cheerful and Springy!  I for one have had enough of Winter now.  I'm ready for the Robin's to come back, the snow to melt and the grass to turn green!

Finally, I started this purse yesterday:

So that's my latest stitching!  Have a great Sunday everyone!
