Thanks to All Who Attended the 2017 Alan B Shephard HS Spring Art, Crafts and Vendor Show


I want to thank all those who visited and checked out my space at the Alan Shephard Spring Arts, Crafts and Vendor Show in Palos Heights, yesterday    And saying an especially big thank you to those who made a purchase.

I enjoyed chatted with all of you and seeing if you liked any of my items.

Now.... back to work, on the next batch of items. 
 I've got loads of sewing to do for all the Potter heads.  

For those of you who are into Pinterest check out my board B-True Crafts My Hand Made Items . 

My next shows will be in the Fall 2017.  
 I'll post a schedule when I know.  
And I am hoping to start an Etsy shop..... we'll see.

In the mean time, I'll be crafting lots more patches, book covers, machine embroidered book marks, key fobs, novelty bags and whatever the Crafting Fairy Muse commands to make.

She is a slave driver this fairy!

She said make lots of machine embroidery stuff or else- so maybe even more journals.... and don't forget your "new item" Harry Potter themed scarfs or else....

 I hate thr Crafting Fairy Muse, when she utters the words "new item". But she lives in the spare bedroom with all the craft supplies, so I've gotta be nice.

Do you know how hard it is to get Crafting Fairy dust out of your fabrics?  

 Yep, I knew you would.  LOL

Two New DIY Machine Embroidered Bookmarks




I've been running the embroidery machine to store of my stash of  bookmarks.

In the current weeks run, I made 2 new bookmarks, as well as running up some old favorites.

I will be selling these along with some other items at the Romeoville Springtide Craft Show on April 1st,2017.

I truly like the Potterheads so I ALWAYS have on hand something for them.


(I am not affiliated with J.K. Rowling Enterprises or anything o do with Harry Potter books. These are handmade one of a kind items. I am using a free design from Digitized by Jen. I put a frame around the design.) 


The above is the  Pirate Mermaid design,  that I purchased from Urban Threads.  I put a frame around the design to create a bookmark. 

Now back to making the lots more bookmarks that have dachshunds, pandas, dragons, and steampunk themes.  Lots to do before next week of embroidering some fabric composition book covers.

New DIY Key Fobs




I've been busy these last week after the Sugar Skull Bag-a-Palooza, making some wristlet key fobs. 

I found some great ribbon on the net and they said "don't hoard me" gotta share...

Umm, I hate when they say that sharing thing to me-LOL.

Since my sister is a Buffy fan I made the below. 
( I am not associated with the Josh Wheedon company, or Buffy TV series.  This is a handmade one of kind item using purchased ribbon)



Speaking (er tying) of the great long gone TV series of Mr Wheedon, I had to make this fob. And Psssst, don't let anyone know, but I am a Browncoat...


( I am not associated with the Josh Wheedon company, or Firefly TV series.  This is a handmade one of kind item using purchased ribbon)




My daugther's friend suggested that I make some fobs for a popular game.  . I said I don't mine...er mind.  So I made the below

Sugar Skull Bag

I've been pretty quiet this days, but my embroidery machine has been very loud.  
Yes, loud, as in banging the threads. 
Above is a sugar skull bag.
I'll be selling these at the next up coming craft show.

I also banged out 8 police call bags.
