Personalized pouches

I finally had the time to work on some pouches for a few of my friends.
Bought some linen strap - I think it's meant for tote straps.. And put my stamp sets to use.

Drawstring bags

I enjoy making drawstring bags because the feeling of pulling the strings/ropes when it's done, and it works perfectly, is of... Great satisfaction.
Ok I probably don't really make much sense, but this is why I enjoy making things. I'm usually very focused when I'm sewing or creating something (unless, of course, I'm distracted by Sherlock, my latest addiction), I find myself zoning out to everything else. When it's done and it fits what I had in mind, I would want to show it off to Mum right away.
Anyhooo... These drawstring bags are ordered by a supportive customer. I consider myself extremely lucky to have these customers, always coming to me to get customized stuff, and thus, forcing me to experiment and try new things! It's very important because sometimes I do need some motivation and this works just fine for me :)
Love, n

50 pouches = crazy me

It's been craaaaazzyyyy. 50 pouches sounded daunting when I accepted the order.. And it really is when doing it. I'm still short of 10 more and I'm kinda exhausted!
But this is a great experience for me, I do hope something like that drops in again!

Busy elf

Busy busy busy! This is my favorite season of the year, but it can get a little overwhelming sometimes.
Orders are coming in and I can't be happier :)
It makes me wish that I didn't have to go to my day job and stay home to work on those orders and my own set of gifts for friends and family.
Love, n

Repeat purchases are the best compliments.

I have been working on a big order from a very supportive customer these few days. It's almost 2am and I have work tomorrow, and I have just finished her entire order, packed and ready to post! Feeling accomplished :)
I need to relook at my pricing for my products. I'm probably not making alot to cover my effort and time. It's tricky because every item is different, more or less. But most importantly, I want to keep it affordable with good quality.
Alright good night folks!
