Too busy to blog???

Oh so busy with lots of different  projects going on.
I have finally mastered the basics of knitting, I have two projects almost complete and can't wait to show you. Yes, I said two, can I ever just do one thing at a time.
Can you say Adult ADD!
I have several purses made and ready for purchase, this one has been very popular, it is a Black and Grey Animal print with smokey Swarvorski Crystals.
Too bad the crystals don't  photograph well, they really make this bag.
This bag retails for $50

I also have many headbands, ranging in color and bling, these headbands have been very popular and are so easy to wear.




These are just a few colors and options for the headbands. I have over 50 colors and styles to choose from.
They retail for $12.50 a piece or two for $20.
I will let you in on a little secret, if you spray the area with hairspray before applying, the headband will stay in place all day.
If you are looking for a certain color or style you can e-mail me at Fran@sewbella.net

Knocking out the projects, one by one!

I have really been trying to get all my projects done so I can of course start new ones.

I finally got Kristin's quilt done, this was supposed to be a Christmas presents but turned out to be more like a Valentine's gift.
I figured since it was taking me so long to get it done, I would surprise her with a wonderful Minkee backing.
Here is a view of the front of the quilt.

Here you can see the quilting design and the wonderful Minkee.

Here is a shot of the front with a piece of the back flapped over.


Kristin with her new quilt, she wasn't thrilled that I made her pose in the yarn shop.

I also mentioned  in my previous post that I was making some fun pillows to match my new bed quilt. I have two out of the three made and when I get the 3rd made I will post them along with my new bed quilt.
I have been busy learning a new knitting pattern, I won't say how many time I had to run to the knit store for help, but let just say after many attempts I finally got the rhythm of this pattern and I am half way through my daughters scarf.
Hopefully I will be showing you my other projects in a day or two.
