Potpourri Pocket Sachet

Hello, my sweet friends. This is a not-so-good picture of a potpourri pocket sachet. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get a decent shot of it. Nothing new there, huh? LOL My photography skills haven't improved at all. Anyway, it can be filled with lavender buds or your favorite potpourri. The body of the pocket is made from fabric bonded to a lightweight stabilizer. It sports a velcro closure to allow easy refreshing of the potpourri. This is very simple and quick to create and would make a very cute bridal shower favor.

To answer a frequent question...Regretfully, I do not have any immediate plans to open an online shop to market my items. For now, it would be too overwhelming for me because I do local craft fairs here at home. It is an option that I will consider in the future. Exactly when, I do not know but be assured that you will be the first to know when it does happen. Thank you so much for asking.

I hope you all have a fabulous, craft-filled day!

Aloha!

Whimsical Butterfly

Sparkly and polka-dotted, a touch of whimsy that all little girls love. This cutie measures just under 5-inches and has been attached to a clothespin so that she can be securely pinned to almost anything. Wouldn't this make a cute decoration in a little girl's bedroom? How about as part of a curtain tie back? The possibilities are endless.

My sincere thank you to all of you who read my blog and especially to those who comment. Knowing how truly precious time is, I appreciate that you choose to drop by and see what I am up to.

Every girl needs a summer bag to tote her towel and suntan lotion to the beach. The only thing missing is the cute polka dot bikini to go with it!

Living In A Polka Dot World

Okay, someone stop me, please. People are going to start wondering about me real soon. All I do is think about polka dots and flower yo-yo's and the projects that I can make with them. It is getting very difficult to wrap my mind around other things.

This is a picture of what my grungy vintage hanger looked like before the transformation...


This is after...


Imagine these hangers in a little girl's closet. Throw out all those yucky plastic ones and replace them with rows and rows of these cuties. Oh, the thought is almost too much for me to take.


If I owned a children's boutique, these are the hangers that you would see throughout my store. Of course, the main wall would also be painted in giant polka dots too. Boy, am I a dreamer!

The kleenex tissue holders are coming along, although in my opinion, not quite fast enough. Here is the progress so far. I will probably be sewing on buttons all day today. Ick! It is clearly not one of my favorite things to do because it slows me down too much.


I also ran out of linen fabric and will need to start an island-wide search sometime soon. At the same time, I'll be looking for more polka dot fabrics too. A girl can never have too much, you know. It can be very difficult to find what you're looking for when your search area is limited like it is over here. I jumped for joy when I found the linen and snatched up the 4 yards that were left. I had the biggest stupidest smile on my face and practically danced out of the store with delight when I found it. Yeah, it sometimes can be that difficult to find things on this island.

Thank you so much for all of your comments regarding my projects and for spending time with me here in Polka Dot Land. I truly appreciate the cyber camaraderie. Have a fabulous and creative day, everyone!

Many of you are asking for a pincushion tutorial. I'm crazy busy at the moment so I fished one out from cyberspace for you. This is from a great site called Whip Up. Of course, it is for the basic pincushion but I'm sure this will enable you to create a unique pincushion to call your own.
Have fun!
