Three Machine Emboridered Composition Notebook Covers

I've been running from the heat this week and hid out in the "craft cave" aka the embroidery zone in my basement.  It is right next to my husband's man cave....

While cooling my heels there, (it is about 20 degrees cooler than my house) I decided to stitch up some machine embroidery designs.  Sewing and machine embroidery is my hobby, you-know!

Below are the three designs that are new to my composition book cover collection.

Nine Gothic Themed Fabric Covers for Composition Notebooks

It's getting to be that time of year again.
My favorite time, because next month is Halloween.
And at my house that means the whole month of October, we DO Halloween.

The Craft Muse gave me the okay to use a little (dark) magic to sew up some covers for composition notebooks.   It's my hobby, by the way, sewing stuff.

Below I am going to treat you  (not trick you) to what I call Gothic Themed covers.
On the right is the inside pocket and the image on the left is the front cover.






































I made 2 more. So now a dozen, instead of ten . See the two new ones below.

DIY Free Standing Lace Ornaments- Unicorns!




I've been in a magical type spirit for the past 2 weeks.

Why? 

I've been working on making some free standing lace ornaments for up coming craft fairs.

So?

That's not so magical, I can agree, unless the ornaments were of magical things, like Unicorns.

And they were. 

Behold the Magic of my creations below.

DIY Fantasy Themed Wristlet Keyfob

This is the last of the wristlet key fobs that I will be making (probably for-ever- LOL).  The ribbon has lots of different graphics and I choose three of them to center on the fob.

I bought this ribbon from a company in Australia.  Not only is the ribbon very cool, but also the stamps on the envelope that it arrives in!!

Four DIY Wristlet Key Fobs

Finishing up the Key-Fob-A-Rama!  (waiting on one more ribbon and then I'm done with Key Fobs for the year or eternity- LOL)

Below are four more wristlet key fobs that I've made.  I'll be selling them at craft fairs in the Fall.

Fourteen DIY Key Fobs

I've been granted a wish by the Craft Muse, because I made 30 embroidered bookmarks, before she returned from her Bermuda vacation. 

So, I wished for ..... more ribbon!!!.

Why?

Because I must confess, I have a ribbon addiction.

And the Craft Muse said my wish has to be craft related.... go figure.

So I used my wish and made some key fobs and key fob wristlets. 

I will be selling these items at up coming craft shows.

But, because you are special and actually stopped by to read this blog, you are going to get a preview of the new "Fall Line" of key fobs.

They are below.
