Some DIY Machine Embroidered Book Marks

I've been serving a  "time out" in the embroidery zone given to me , by the Craft Muse.

Why?

Well, apparently one does NOT comment on how wrinkly the Craft Muse wings are when she is coming out of her bedroom aka the craft hoarding room.

Never make a comment about anything,  before she has her morning fix of coffee. And never, ever, ever, mention wings and wrinkles in the same sentence.

I did that and lesson learned. 

"But First Coffee" will be tattooed on my forehead, so I will never make THAT mistake again.

So,  any whoo, while in the embroidery zone, I made some good use of the my time er time out.

Since I love to read, ( and who doesn't? since you are reading this , you do ) I decided to make some machine embroidered book marks.  

Yes, actual book marks for the old school people who read words on paper aka a book....

Below are some book marks that I made. 

DIY Hand Made Pouches

I've been away from this blog for a while.

Why?

Because the Craft Muse (who lives in the guest bedroom aka the craft room) was having a crisis.

That's why.!!! 

She lost her bag of magical, mysterious, B-Musing dust. 

We looked all over the place and no luck.

She was almost dissolving from her tears, when a miracle happened. 

 Her fairy god-mother, Agnes, popped in for a visit.  Just like that!

You didn't know that Crafting Muses have fairy god-mothers? 
 So now you do.

Well, Agnes saw what was happening and with a zap from her wand, she produced a B-Musing dust storm. 

I mean it.  

B-Musing dust was falling like big, fat, sparkly,  snowflakes from the top of the room, near the ceiling fan .

So much was falling, that everyone started sneezing. Yikes! 
Do you know what B-Musing dust smells like?
That's right, it smells like happiness.

So now the crisis of the missing B-Musing dust was over.  But there was another problem to solve.

The Craft Muse needed a bag, er bags, to hold all of the B-Musing dust.  Lots of bags for lots of piles of B-Musing dust.  

That is where I came in to solve the problem. Just like that.

I have tons of embroidery machine in the hoop designs for pouches or small bags.  You know the size to put your cell phone in or your B-Musing dust.

I got right down to it and started up my machine and in a few days er weeks, made lots of bags. 

Meanwhile, we had to keep the door shut to the guest bedroom, just in case some B-Musing dust stormed into the hallway and got lost again.

Yesterday, I finished all the bags and gave the lot to her.

The Crafting Muse was so happy that she sparkled!  

You can see the bags below and then take a guess which one she liked best.

Four DIY Fabric Covers for Composition Notebooks

I was ordered by the Craft Muse, who lives in the spare bedroom aka as the craft hoarding room, to start clearing a path, through the fabric stash.

She said if I don't actually start making stuff from my fabric stash, that there's going to be trouble.

Last time she said that to me, I didn't listen and thought that she was making a joke.

But is was no joke when....

She waved her wand and a truck from a charity donation organization appeared in front of the house.  Yikes!!!   The guy was getting out to ring the door bell.

I moved fast and grabbed an armful of fabric and ran!!!!

I ran right to the cutting table and started to cut fabric to make stuff, before I had to make the cut for the donation truck.

So the below are pictures of saved fabric...I made some covers for composition notebooks. I know some kids who will love them.

 Geesh, the Craft Muse has a short temper.  But at least she DOES give me a warning....

The picture on the left is the front of the cover and the picture on the right is the inside pocket.

Twelve Hand Made Fabric Covers for Composition Notebooks

Woo Hoo, the Crafting Muse said I forgot to include some pix of notebook covers when I posted yesterday.  

Why? I asked her

Sew er so, she told me this,
"They were buried under the fabric stash pile in MY bedroom!!! ( aka as the craft hoarding room.  -LOL).

Oops..

Below are some more of the handmade fabric covers.
