so sweet pics

photos by Natasha Redekop

I usually don't get to see items I sew after they leave my hands so I was so grateful my sister-in-law sent these
sweet photos of my little niece wearing a pink top I gave her! soooo sweet! especially that action shot! Do you have any follow-up on items you craft or sew?  wondering....

what i have been up to...

after a lengthy illness i have been.......sewing sweet zip pouches for holiday time...

...and little wallets......i won't be doing any shows but will be keeping my retailers stocked...also i felt it was
time to create a new website for sweetstitch...so feel free to check out our new home at www.sweetstitchshop.com   thanks for looking!

upcycled eco zipper pouches

some little pics of the eco-line i have been working on...these zippy pouches are made from upcycled fabric..i just love finding new uses for fabric.  These really remind of Orla Kiely prints which is why i love them so.
Graphic and modern-simple and practical ,,,,just had to throw in a little Rudolph too!...

w.i.p.

soo busy getting ready for shows!  here's a pile of brooches getting ready to be completed...going to have

lots of zipper pouches too!...i'm introducing a new line of eco-zipper pouches made from upcycled fabric..pics coming soon!  i really try to reduce my imprint on the planet when i can and see soo many fabrics begging to be transformed into something new..are you working on any crafty projects?  getting ready for holiday shows?

...some cards in the works too!

last weekend was spent at a wonderful retreat....too cold for swimming..lots of activities such as this bizarre
giant swing which basically catapults people into the air then swings them back and forth! )that's my daughter up there..and yes it was as high as a telephone pole...my family was brave except for me (being flung through the air did just not appeal to me at all!)  i am super busy getting ready for craft shows - sometimes i just need a clone of myself to get things done...i will also be a part of this.....so come on down and see what we come up with to destash!

happy weekend

just a little pic to end the week of the Empire State Building taken from the High Line...if you are ever in
New York I urge you to check out this pathway built on old above ground railway tracks..kind of lifts you physically and mentally from the hustle and bustle below with nice little benches and gardens along the way.
there is also a cool  little popsicle stand called People's Pops which have unusual flavor combinations ..(i had
ginger-blueberry)...will be catching up with sewing next week...lots to do with Christmas just around the corner!  have a great weekend blogging friends!

some fall images...

Just a few fall images from the thanksgiving weekend...we are so lucky to live a five minute drive from this
spectacular trail!  what a glorious weekend it was...on the shop front i have added a few zippy pouches (it's never too early to think about christmas shopping, hostess giving, and secret santa office parties!) and I am hoping to land my first U.S. shop in the near future!  I will keep you posted...until then happy Wednesday!
