Nook

I got a special request in my Etsy Store for a Nook Cover and wanted to show it to you.  The request was for a cover with a map of Boston.  Needless to say fabric with a map of Boston was no where to be found.  So I went to Michael's and got inkjet printer fabric sheets.  I had never used them so really didn't have a clue if or how it would work.  I found a map of Boston on line and printed it onto the sheets.  WOW!!  I wanted to show you how it turned out.

This is the front

The Back

and opened

I am really pleased with the way it turned out.  I only hope my customer likes it as well as I do.  Imagine all the things you could do with these fabric printer sheets.  Hmmmm ... I wonder if I could color on them with my Prisma pencils?!?    :)

Not Cards ....

I have been so busy sewing lately that I haven't done much in the way of card making .... shame on me!!!!!  But I thought I would show you what I've been up to.  My husband bought me an embroidery machine a few years ago.  Cierra (DGD) and I used it a couple of times and decided that it was no fun and put it up.  I love handwork so pushing a few buttons and watching it embroidery bored me.  A couple of weeks ago I got it back out thinking if I wasn't going to use it I would sell it.  Well I have been embroidering up a storm.  I have made kindle and nook covers .... ring bearer pillows and a bunch of lace earrings.

Here is a ring bearer pillow I made:

And here are some of the earrings:

I've made about 12 pr. of earrings in a lot of different colors.  I need to work on my photography but I'll get there.   And one more thing..... this is a little linen Fold Over Bag I made:

Anyway this is what I've been up to .... I'll get a card up here in a couple of days.  :)

Thanks for looking!
