My Little Angel is a Witch!

2008 Halloween!!!!

Do you remember last year?

Off to Japan!

I wish it were me, but it is this bag I just finished for one of my favourite clients. It is a cross between my Queen Guinevere and Bronwyn.

I really love how it turned out. Green and gold flocked velvet, tweed and leather OH MY!

Check out the Newbies!

These cuffs are new in my shop.

Honourable Mention on Cuteable!

Hey, my Romantic Steampunk cuff was mentioned on Cuteable - check it out!

Romantic SteamPunk

The fever continues........

I made the first one on the weekend and it sold! So I made another in hopes of a repeat performance.

Terranium on my Window Sill

My first Terranium!

If you look closely, you will see a tiny mushroom.

I've got Steampunk Fever

I love science-fiction that's for sure, but there is something romantic when you mix the future with the past.

Here is my first attempt at Steampunk. I'm pleased with how it turned out and will be making more things.

Maddox has left the building!

Maddox has had a great debut this month. The following have left the Sewlutions' studio to meet their new owners:

>>>>>>Enter the Maddox!

My newest line of wrist band cuffs will be available locally in the Philly (Philadelphia that is) area soon.....








You can always, get them in my online boutique though.

This one is mine!

I made a new bag! I was supposed to put it in my Etsy shop but I changed my mind.

My excuse..... I am keeping this one for myself to 'test' all the wearing possibilities, it's purely a business decision ;-)

Yes, it's leather!

New Product!

AMO Leather Bling Rings are here!

I have been working on them for awhile and wanted to list a lot earlier but I had ordered some sizing tools that fell through and had to wait another set that I ordered on Ebay.

Here are a sampling of what is to come. I have already listed this one.

July Updates

July is the best month of the year and it also happens to be my birthday month. This year I turned 40!

>>>>>>>>>>>WOW<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I still can't believe it. Anyhow, It came and went without incident. My mother reminded me that when I turned 30 I was really depressed - I can't remember any of that.

I wanted to do something special for myself so I joined the gym. I joined my whole family in fact. I am really excited to get back into shape and have a strong body again.

Jolie was in Kiddie Carnival for the 2nd year in a row!

Her band came in 1st last year and 3rd place this year.

I also upgraded my Walking Foot to this Beauty!

I leave you with a couple custom orders I have done.

Branding

Look what I got in the mail yesterday! I ordered these through Deanna from rockrunphotography and love how they turned out.

I wanted to use my signature Pagoda shaping. I also got stickers made.

New Beginnings

I launched the opening of a new store front on Etsy! Introducing:

Your place for inspiration and all things beautiful!

So far I've only added lingerie supplies from when I used to make un-mentionables.

Stop by and give me a heart if you like!

A Sergeant's Salute

My latest On the go wrist band cuff, available in my shop!

Read all about it!

I have been featured on Man Made Market. Please read the interview here.

First Annual Yart Sale

In anticipation of summer, many sellers on Etsy (myself included) are participating in the first annual Yart Sale. Come check out the wonderful deals.

A Freak in the bedroom!

Okay, so it is not what you think - though my husband would love it if it were ;-)

No, what I'm talking about is Obstructive Sleep Apnea and sleeping with the aid of a CPAP mask and machine. Five years ago I was diagnosed with severe OSA but instead of going with the recommendation of using a CPAP machine, I opted out because I was vain.

I found myself drowsy in the mornings and pinching myself to stay awake on the morning commute. Now that I have been sleeping with the aid of the machine, I haven't been cutting off my oxygen levels thereby causing sleep deprivation and risking heart attack, stroke and much more!

I may look like a freak but at least I'll live to tell about it.

Here I am on my 2nd week and 3 masks later. My first mask I called 'fighter pilot', the 2nd I called 'pig nose' and this 3rd one I call 'the diver'.

I hope the diver will be the one for me. You can read more on Obstructive Sleep Apnea here.

A new Twist on an old Favourite

I was contacted last week by a man who wanted me to make one of my Deluxe Slim-line wallets with hidden zippered compartments for his wife.

His wife had purchased one of my Metro-Man wallets for him before and loved the wool/leather combination. (incidentally, he loves his wallet too!)
I usually do them with the leather on the outside, for this order, the leather is on the inside - I think I will be making more of this version for sure.

How BOLD can I go?

Well take a look. This is my attempt at putting it all together, to try and tie in all the bold pieces.

Check here where I made the sofa seat covers in a funky fabric I found. After that I realized that I still had to somehow pull in the colours from THE funky chair.
At first I wasn't sure if I succeeded or if I even liked it, but it has grown on me. It has been about 2 weeks and I think It's a keeper.

A machine of her own

So, Agent 31 wanted to step up her game from just being Quality Control Agent, to hotshot Sewer#2. I checked with the child labour laws and they require that if a child is working in a sewing studio, then she needs her own machine :-)

This one is for her to practice until I am confident that she can handle a real one. She is only 6 but she can handle a scissor like nobody's business.
