This has been a busy week with a sale on Ebay and more listings for Etsy. My goal is to list one item a week for Etsy so I can be ready for the Holiday Season!

The party stuff is going along too inbetween all the other things. This is the outside of the invitation- we went for a fishy theme on a chest shaped cutout and put sparkly pink rhinestones on all eyes. The envelope had a skull and crossbones hand stamped on the cover in pink. Great stamp found at Micheals. Halloween is a good time to look for these things : )

 

I have also been working on E's goodie bags. The bags I found at Hobby Lobby in the party section  were plain black, small enough for the pirate mouse to hold and had a pirate skull and crossbones on the cover. We added pink sparkle to the eyes, a heart and a pink ribbon to make them more girly. Saves me time and achieves more or less what I had in mind anyway. The mouse pattern is still not working out how I want it to. The bags will still have a label added with am embroidered initial. That way the tag can be used on lunch containers or school bags afterwards.

 
Etsy had a lot of small handsewn dogs listed: Have a look at our puppy patch!www.edenandfriends.etsy.com

My fairy doll is almost finished. I wonder if you can truly ever say it is done as it is one of those wonderful things you can always add more detail to : )

Wings detail- wings are angelina fibers with machine embroidery and wires to strengthen them.

 Beadwork on the bodice is done to represent small daisies and done in green, cream and bronze beads

 Full fairy figure

 Face detail showing beaded crown

Feet showing beaded "slippers"

 

This was an awesome challenge to make and I am looking forward to trying an elf. The wings were fun but hard to make. Also making some small dog stocking stuffers. See my shop for them!

Been an awesome week and hoping next week will be good too!
