Flow Blue Finish...

This pretty wallet (#26) - made using Michelle Palmer's "Flow Blue" fabric - is  

on its way to her . Included were the wrist and shoulder strap, as well as a key fob.

Michelle chose fabrics from her line and sent them to me for this project.

Don't you just adore her little birds holding violets? I think they're so sweet.

I decided to take part of the fabric's selvage to make a label on the back side of the wallet. Then I took photos so I could share the finished project with you! I wrapped it carefully, and sent it on its way to Michelle. It will be in her hands before the week is over.

 

We have a realtor coming with a client this afternoon for a showing. I'm working on the memory book from my Sixth Blog Anniversary drawing. I think a little handwork is the perfect way to spend time while we wait to come back into the house! (Is this the fun part?) See you tomorrow!

Flow Blue...

I am so thrilled to be creating a special request from one of my favorite artists, Michelle Palmer. She loved the one I made for her using her bee fabric (see "Buzz" HERE), and asked me to make a wallet for her using another of her fabulous fabric lines...Flow Blue.

All the parts are prepared now and waiting for me to sew them together. This is how I'll spend part of my day today. I can already see that this will be a sweet one...just like the recipient! 

We had an open house yesterday which went very well. We also have a showing on Wednesday. What that means, of course, is that I have other things on my plate, too. (That's actually the reason I shared our plans with you last week.) 

 

I've made a commitment to purge and pack one part of our home each day. As soon as the boxes I ordered arrive, the program will begin. I'll play while I can, but rest assured, I'll continue to find play time through this whole, exciting process.

Tag will be here tomorrow. He's got a lot on his mind, and he's been looking forward to telling you all about it. I'll be back on Wednesday - and I'll show you this finished wallet before I ship it out to Michelle. I'm off to the studio...
