Metamorphosis




Please join us for a very special Open House Fundraiser & Online Auction Kickoff benefiting Elizabeth Chalker.  We are raising money to help her get the life-saving medical treatment that she desperately needs!

Elizabeth is extremely ill after years of being misdiagnosed...now barely hanging on by a thread. She recently lost her dog & companion, Symon, whom she considered her son. It has been devastating to her, on top of the constant torment & pain that she is in 24/7. I could go on and on and on about her & how she has impacted me, but here is a website that has been put together for her and shares more of her story:

She has really inspired me...


I want to see her condition improve & her pain stripped away.  As I read her book, I see her in a lonely pit of darkness and deep in my soul I feel such compassion for her... 


I keep asking myself...what else can I do to help her???

I'm making several special creations to benefit Elizabeth Chalker's life-saving treatment...stop by the
Open House & come see me & what I've been working on!!!  =) 




Buy her book and be blessed by it!

Scrappy Plush Camera Strap Cover

In my last post I showed you the cool new Marilyn Monroe wallet that I custom made for a gal named Kristin.  Here I show you how I've utilized some of the scraps from that project to make another Funky Fresh camera strap cover.

I love the scrappy look!  Yes, it does take more time to piece it together...but I think it is well worth it.  =)


The little strips of fabric are mixed together in a random fashion, quilted with this really cool purple/turquoise/pink variegated thread that I picked up from Jo-Ann...I just HAD to try it out on this & am really happy with the way it turned out.  I love the subtle color changes & the silkiness of this thread...oh yeah, it's funky fresh!


I managed to include other prints that were not in the Marilyn Monroe wallet...love that green splatter skull fabric & the orange snippet of Heather Baily's print too!


Each creation is handmade with LOVE...because you're worth it!



You can find it here in my Etsy shop:

I hope you guys had a great weekend!
