Two Finished Travel/Project Bags...

Brynwood Needleworks - "Guitar Man" Travel Bag

I finished two projects yesterday. If I hadn't been a little under the weather, I would have finished three!

"Guitar Man" is finished and will be delivered today. It's a gift from Miss Bella Butt to Uncle Mike. We'll be in Jupiter today for a training day, so she'll be able to give it to him in person.

In addition to his other talents, Mike is also a musician. His instrument of choice is the guitar, and in his younger days, he'd train dogs with his dad by day and play music with various bands by night. He'd still manage to get up before dawn every morning to clean kennels and feed dogs before the training started each day.

I used a beautiful, musical note fabric inside the travel bag. The colors match up pretty well with the exterior, so I'm really happy with the result. I put an inset zipper pocket, as well as an open pocket on the inside. 

 

Brynwood Needleworks - "Fantasy" Travel Bag

This travel bag will be available in my shop today. I'm thinking it would be a perfect Father's Day gift for that special guy in your life. 

The wording on the front is from The Hobbit. It's one of my favorite sayings, and I thought perfect for a travel kit.

The outside is a soft, black pleather. Inside, I've used a great fabric I found featuring maps from the Tolkein book. There is a pocket, too, with "Middle Earth" centered on it.

I'm offering this design at a special price for Father's Day. After June 19th, they'll be regular price ($10 more). The first one (shown) is ready to go, but I'll fill Father's Day orders until Tuesday to be sure they arrive to you in time to give next Sunday.

Brynwood Needleworks - "Grooming Tools" Travel Bag

I'm offering another style for the shop, too. I love these vintage grooming tools, and I'll use a coordinating fabric on the inside. This listing will appear soon, and can also be special ordered to arrive in time for Father's Day.

Sleep is overrated, don't you think?

Guitar Man...

Brynwood Needleworks - "Guitar Man" Embroidery

Destiny and I got busy with a new Retreat Bag project yesterday. I'm calling this one, "Guitar Man" based on the embroidery.

This Retreat Bag is already spoken for, and it was fun deciding on fabrics because I know who'll receive it. I've chosen a buttery-soft, black vinyl for the exterior, and a musical lining fabric to coordinate with the design "we" stitched out on the front.

The embroidery is finished, and all ll the parts and pieces are cut, prepped and ready to sew together. I stopped so I could to get to Paneras last night, but the rains were keeping our other ladies home. I picked up a loaf of bread, grabbed a soup and latte' to take home, and was back almost before Handsome and the pups knew I was gone!

 

Today is Nifty 50s, so rather than lug my machine and tack in the rain, I'll set up some new pincushions. My shop has been biiiiiizzzzeeeee, so I need to restock. I'm going to add some Daddy-themed Retreat Bags in time for Father's Day giving, too! I hope to list those up on Thursday or Friday, leaving plenty of time for Priority postage to deliver for gift giving.

 

Gotta run. Time for another working "play date"!
