Words and Numbers on Fabric

I love hunting for old vintage bags with advertisement on them. 

There are bank bags...seed and feed sacks...the list goes on. 

They come in all different kinds of colors and weights of fabric, either heavy or a soft muslin fabric.

I found a new way to use them in my aprons.

I used a portion of a pretty blue colored one in this apron.

I made me an apron using a faded bag and doing some stitching on the bib.

You can find a lot of these bags on Etsy or Ebay, but some are quite expensive.  I was fortunate to find some locally for a good price.

Well, have a wonderful new week.  I'm off to the beach to teach and am so looking forward to hearing the waves and breathing in the smell of sea water. 

A couple of new Boho Tool Belts offered in my Etsy Shop HERE

Behind the Creativity

I grew up as a Tom Boy, loving to play in the woods.  Yet I LOVED to play dolls, play house.

The type of environment I like to live in is more masculine rather than famine.  I like both.  I like to wear lace but love to accessorize in leather and rustic shoes/bags.

This Boho tool belt apron reflects a combination of both my sides creatively.

 

I love "tattered threads"

 

and a little feminine thrown in.

 

 

I'm off to the ocean side, an Island very soon.  I can't wait.  That is where I feel I can be totally me but then again, there is New York City.  Maybe the beach represents the feminine side of me and the city my masculine side, where I have to be a bit stronger.

Just me...how about you?

 

You can find a few more of my creations in my Etsy Shop right now.

 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO all you moms out there.  Sure am missing mine.

Muvazi Natural Skin Care for BREAST Health Promotion

Today I write to you about something special I discovered through my friend, Nellie Wortman, Muvazi Skin Care.  After Nellie's raves about it, I looked into it for myself.   Not only was it Nellie's words of encouragement that made me want to try it, but as a Breast Cancer Survivor, I read that this product is PARA (Paraben) FREE.  There is research that Paraben may contribute to breast cancer and HERE is a good link to begin reading about this if you haven't already.





If you have followed my blog for any length of time, you know I do not normally promote product.  I am so pleased with the results I am getting from Muvazi, that I was anxious to write about it and share it with you all.  With Mother's Day coming up, this could be a wonderful gift for the women in your life you love. 

Muvazi, based in Utah, ships out really fast.  They also give a 30 day money back guarantee if you are not happy with the product.

PROMOTION  For YOU!!

You can purchase this package of four products for only $69.00 includies FREE shipping world wide!  (Taxed if you live in Utah).  This is an awesome deal and if you like it, Muvazi will let you opt in for an Auto Purchase for the same price.  Also, for my readers you will receive a FREE  Professional Comedone Extractor.

ENTER THE PROMO CODE:  Mosshill  when checking out and you won't be paying the $149.00 price, only $69.00.  Good deal, don't you think! 

I am loving how my skin feels and looks and I have only been using it for a short time.  I believe it will continue to improve and of course, I want to look younger.

 

Also, I have been putting this product on my hands and they are looking better, as I have really been showing my age there.  Another secret, you only need to use a very little (I mean little) on your skin due to the potency of the ingredients in this line.

Promotion for my readers will last for two weeks starting today.

Would love to hear from you if you give it a try.  What I love about it, it is so easy to do in the morning and evening, as I am not a big one on primping but love getting results as if I were.

Happy Mother's Day Everyone!!

Creations and Offerings

Enjoying my Simplicity Deluxe 12 needle Felting Machine.  If you have ever needle felted by hand, you would appreciate how this machine works.  I just love it!!!  I made this little needle case with it.  

The inside I used felt and a vintage baby sock to hold my little tiny scissors in. 

The back with another little sock to hold my finger protector.

 

Worked on a few more Boho Tool Belts and you can find this with some others in my shop.

My friend, Jennifer, came over today and purchased this blue one for herself.

This is a child size apron with two pockets I've offered up in my Etsy Shop.

 

Madison modeling one of my aprons Aunt Jennifer gifted her with.  Doesn't she look darling!  

Thanks for stopping by.  ♥♥♥

 

Joy of sewing

I will never forget my very first sewing lesson given by my mom to my sister and I.  I think I was around ten years old.  We made sleeveless flannel night-gowns. 



Fresh batch of hand dyed lace.



Love tight weeved gauze fiber.

 

Just completed two new Boho Tool Belts and listed in my Etsy Shop

Each one comes out different, making them "one of a kind".  I love that.  I'm not one for repetition.

 

I do a lot of hand sewing on the belts.  I love a good sharp needle.

 

A view inside my pin tin.

 

A completed work "Gentle Breeze"

 

and "White Sands"

 

Well, back to dyeing more tool belts so I can sew and embellish them up.

Happy Weekend Everyone.

Happening in the studio

Here is another peek of my new and improved studio space.  I shared awhile ago about this piece of cloth that is hanging in the window.  I've been stitching on it and plan to add other pieces to it. The beautiful Prayer Flag hanging in front was created and given to me by my dear friend, Nellie Wortman.

While in LA a few weeks ago, my generous and kind friend, Renee Troy, gifted me some very cool elements to make jewelry with.  This is what I came up.  I really am drawn to organic looking jewelry, and want to create more of it to sell and keep for me.

Another sweet friend, Kristen Robinson, gifted me a resin filled bezel she created with rhinestones.  Using beads and some more of what Renee gave me, I created this piece.

 

I found these cool keys while at the Tuscon Bead show and made this necklace with it.  I love wearing it.  I just gave it a re-do.

I love old antique buttons.  This one fit perfect.

I took a workshop last summer with Terri Brush here in Phoenix and finally finished it so that I can wear it.  It can be a necklace or a bracelet wrap.  I loved making the enameled balls on the copper.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
