Two More Finished...

I'm quite chuffed today. Yesterday was quite productive. I completed two clutch wallets for clients who will receive them over the weekend.

The first one was commissioned by a mom for her adult daughter who works with thoroughbred race horses. I've named it "Run For The Roses".

Her mom asked that I also give a nod to daughter's love of dogs, so I lined the pockets behind the credit card slots and the interior of the zippered coin purse with dog paws. I hope she'll like my efforts.

Number 24 is "Sandy Beaches". My client has purchased this one for his wife who loves the Tommy Bahama look with a Jimmy Buffet vibe.

I had fun fussy cutting the fabrics for the interior. I used the mirror image of the one I put on the outside flap.

Then, I chose a colorful, vintage-looking parrot to greet her when she opens her wallet. 

 

You know how I've told you that you can see things in a photograph that you may have missed at the time it was taken. Dang! I see that I forgot the security flap from the zippered pocket to the divider (where the parrot is in this picture). sigh. 

 

Now to decide whether or not to go back and add them. It can be done, but to keep my parrot visible, I'll have to fussy cut the fabric for the flap to overlay the same image of the parrot on top of the original. (Scrolling back up to the "Roses". Yes I can add that one, too without too much trouble.) Hmmm. I'll revisit this later today.

Nothing like finding a mistake (or two) to keep a girl humble. So much for "chuffed"...

Before I leave you today, I just want to wish our younger daughter-in-law, Jess, a very Happy Birthday. We were blessed the day our son brought you into our lives. May all those blessings return to you as you celebrate your special day today. We'll share cake next time we see you!

Prepping Wallets...

Sandy Beaches

I'm definitely finishing up some commissioned projects in the next day or so. I'll be working to complete the Corgi wallet, along with this one I'm calling "Sandy Beaches". 

 

My client wants a "Tommy Bahama" feel. Do you think this will do it? I'm pretty happy with the fabric choices for this one.

Run For The Roses

Another client chose this theme to surprise her daughter who works with race horses in Kentucky. I think "Run For The Roses" will be an appropriate name and I want to have this one finished by the weekend to get it to my client. 

Creating always brings me joy, so today will be a joyful day, for sure. I'll show you the results tomorrow. Gotta run, honey bun! (giggle)
