christmas items 2011

I have just added my first christmas items in my etsy shop!
I am glad to start it early this season. Because when I know Christmas will come so quickly.
Addition, my father will visit us soon, my husband and son's birthday, field trip of my son's school, Halloween... Oh wow I will be really busy. I am so excited!

set of 4 nine patch coasters

Here is the first item! I made set of 4 coasters from Michael Miller's Christmas fabric.

These fabric are left over from last season. But it is still stunning!

The color of the combination is very cute!!

I have two set of 4 coasters so far, hope I will make some more from scraps later.

christmas bunting

This is the fabric banner/bunting.

table runner 12"x 37"

I also made a quilted table runner.
OH I love this one so much!

It is hard to see in photo, but I used multi color thread to quilt.
And I quilted like a diamond.

More items will come!
I will work hard this weekend again!

Have a good weekend!

weekend

I worked hard this weekend to figure out how I use these scrap into something nice for Christmas.
These are from my Christmas fabrics from last year.
For me, fight with these scrap is not easy. Each scrap has strange shape, short, long and too tiny......
On the other hand, it is also fun challenge!

I am very excited how these will turn out in the future.
However I am hurting my back, cutting, piecing, ironing and cutting again....
Probably I did too much. :-P

My son spent all day on Saturday in the house, because I am doing this project. So I took him to the park on Sunday. We brought lunch, so we had good picnic.  ( there is a big playground near my house. we can go there by walk. :) ) He enjoyed to play with other kids and riding bike together with the pretty girl.

I hope the weather becomes more cooler soon. It is almost October, but it is still hot in Central Valley in CA.

shop update

pillow cover : clearance sale!

I added some pillow covers in my shop.

These are new condition and never used. (size: 14", 16" and 12"x16")
However I kept them too long in the closet.
These are now clearance sale!

Please check it!

fall color in my house

wreath

Hello everyone!  I changed some of the decoration in my house recently.
This is the wreath for fall season. My husband made the base from grape vine a few years ago.
It looks like this photo usually. Pink, white and green wreath.

These are fake flowers. I just stick them on the base, so it is easy to change.
I took them out and put the new fake leaves and apples.

Fake flowers cost less $5 at Joann. I just bought one branch and cut to use it. It is great deal!

I put left over leaves/apples in the tin flower base to decorate in the living room.

:)

This photo is the entrance. I decorated the mirror with the orange/black bunting.

I made this bunting earlier for my shop and sold. Thank you!
If you love this color, I still have set of 4 coasters. Please check my shop!

echino pillow cover/ black train

This is the last one! I made another pillow case from my favorite Echino fabric.

I choose black train fabric. I already had orange pillow case, so I think the black fabric to match the orange one for fall/Halloween season.

Addition, I am thinking to use this black pillow case in the playroom for my son later. ( I am planing to make playroom instead of the formal dining area.)

This is the other side of the pillows.

*************************

I have started to prepare for the Christmas items for my shop from this weekend.

It is 94F degree outside! HOT! It is hard to imagine about the Christmas.
But it will come.
Some of them came out very nice and pretty!
Please come back to see what I have!

Thank you for visiting. Have a great weekend.

9.17.2011

I went to the balloon festival at Clovis CA.
I had to wake up early in the morning.

It was around 7am at this moment.

First one took off. Just beautiful.

with sun rise.

This is his first time to enjoy the balloon festival.

He took this picture by my camera.  Intersting angle. I love it. :)

We met our friend there. She is his girlfriend. Very cute.

This is my favorite picture. I love the color of the balloon. Can you see the moon?

I am not sure where these balloon went and where they landed.
I will visit the festival next year of course. It is just beautiful and fun to watch!

Have a great weekend!

patchwork items for kitchen

Hello How are you doing. I am doing great but I didn't have chance to  update my blog recently.

One of the biggest reason is my PC. My computer is now 7 years old.

The capacity of the memories are getting low. I cleaned up, moved pictures to the another hard drive.

Even so, it is still slow.... especially when I use this blogger...

Anyways, Here is something I made recently.

I am falling love with simple patchwork!

This one is the potholder. Log cabin patchwork.
I added one quilt batting and two layers of Insul Brite.

You will not burn your hand! I am guarantee. :)

These are set of two place mats.

Do you remember this one?

This is the table runner.

They are all made from same fabric collection.
I like this color combination!

How about you?

****************************

In October, I have alot of stuff to take care.

My husband Birthday, my son's 4th birthday and my father will visit us in middle of Oct!!

I am planing to travel to Napa Valley.(capital of California wine!!)
My blog and shop will be slow to update and probably little take time to finish all custom orders during that time. If you have special request or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!!



Oh! It is already September!! I can't believe it.

How are you everyone?

My son's new pre-school began 22th of August.
So I am little busy to make myself into a new schedule.
His new school is better than the daycare which previous school.
I am glad he can join this school!
He has 15 classmates and two teacher in his class.
His birthday is Octoberer, so I am little worried if he can do well.

I hope he has good time with them!

Anyways, Let me introduce some new items in my Etsy shop!

These are shoulder bag for children.

 For Boys.

For girls. I love this one. The pink flower's petal looks bunny's ear! It is really cute pattern.

I also added another small shell pouches. (drawstring pouch) It is made from Japanese fabric.

I always have one this bag in my everyday purse. :)

New azuma bukuro bag (size:M) is also listed in my shop.
I found this pop and super cute fabric in my stash!
