wednesday share

wow - 6 whole days have passed since my last posting...
that's not good...I have been busy getting ready for another show
so I hardly have time to get anything done around the house let
alone hang out on the computer for a couple of hours like I like.

I have journals unkept...housework piling up...laundry waiting to be dry ed...
household projects that need work....and dishes that should be washed...
yikes...when I write it out it's really BAD! bad tina....

after this show I should be good to go....I hope...it's all about
finding a balance and I am not really good with that - truth be told...

anyway a project I had wanted to do for quite sometime - I finally did
but of course since I was in a rush to get'er done it didn't really turn out quite like
I had planned...

I made a fabric velcro coupon clutch...


used some great fabric and made my own pattern

added a velcro closure and some fun fabric flowers to
make the closure super cute...


just made it into an envelope shape....


added felt pockets with tabs...
thinking back the idea sounded great but - black tabs -
was I really planning to embroider the sections??? NO

so the idea was genius but the outcome NOT so grand...
(BTW - notice the red finger - it is ink...busy stamping and such...)

anyway...I am glad to report that this is very functional...and looks alright
but I need to try and tweak the pattern and tabs...

I am linking this to the following parties:


Happy crafting

What a brilliant idea Tina, you're so clever to make your own pattern! I love the fabric!
