A Couple New Ones...

Brynwood Needleworks - Puppy Love Retreat Bag

I love being busy and creating more fun things to share.
 
Brynwood Needleworks - Puppy Love Retreat Bag Back

I've called this Retreat Bag, "Puppy Love".

Sweet pups inside and out, and the interior is peppered with puppy paws.

I also completed this one called, "Sewing Room".

I like that it's a little edgy and fun.

Tools on the outside and polka dots inside, and
like "Puppy Love", this one also has a pocket.

Both of these have the nickel-finished "Handmade" zipper pulls as a
finishing touch. They'll be listed in my shop HERE later today.  


This morning, I'll be teaching techniques to a few friends.
I hope you have something fun planned for your day!

Production Day...

Brynwood Needleworks - Retreat Bag Fabrics

I spent yesterday choosing and preparing fabrics to make more Retreat Bags for my new Brynwood Needleworks shop. These are going to be fun!

There will be Retreat Bags for dog lovers, needleworkers, quilters, and a beautiful geranium floral that anyone would love.

My Etsy shop has a new look, too, and these items will appear both in my Etsy shop and my new website shop. The two sites are interactive, so they will update from one to the other. As I add new items in one, they'll automatically appear in the other...and likewise with selling.

I'll be busy, busy sewing all of these together today. I'll have a regular production line going. I'll share pictures of the finished bags tomorrow. I'd better get after it! If you want me, I'll be in my happy place.

Tuesdays With Tag - I Got A Present...

Brynwood Needleworks - Modeling My New Harness

Hi, Everybody!
I sure had a great Birthday. Thanks to everyone who wishes me a good day.

Dad came home yesterday with a present for me from one of the wives of a
musician Dad plays with. It's a purple harness. Can you see it in this picture?

Here. Let me turn away a bit. Does that help?

I had one of these when I was a kid, but I'd forgotten just how comfy they are. 
So what do you think? Is it "me"? Thanks so much to Miss Patty. I love it!

Brynwood Needleworks - Taggart and Bella

Late day yesterday, Mom had to run to the grocery store. She asked if Bella and I wanted to ride along. Heck yeah! Bella ran and got her collar - and so did I. Mom always puts then on us and then gives us a treat for bein' good dogs.

Maaaaan! The Black Dog saw that her light was just right, so she crowded me out of the picture. Good thing I'm tall enough to see over the window sill!

Brynwood Needleworks - I LOVE Car Rides!

I like to see what's goin' on, so I usually stand up like this for a few minutes. Bella just plops down once the car starts movin'. She misses all the good stuff!

The weather was perfect for a ride. 73º and dry. It doesn't get much better than that! I'll take all of this Mother Nature wants to dish out! It's just right for swimmin' every day, too!

I hope your weather is gettin' nice, too. I heard that it snowed in some places! I've only been in snow once. It's somethin' I can live without, even though it was fun for a few minutes. I gotta run!

I'll see you again in seven! 'til then...
