Tee-lard!!!

I just saw that I didn't post that much in september! I'll try and do better in october! But... lots of stuff on my to do list and lots of them is for Xmas gifts ;) so no showing before that! Here's what I made last week...
I'll start with yet another bucket bag :) I made this one for the 40th birthday of my neighbor and friend ( Hi Gen!). I used a small scrap of really bright fushia flower print and started from there (used cotton remnant and black jeans too)... Can you tell she loves pink?! I made a kanzashi flower to go with it. I'm very happy with the results!

Now for my new and fun stuff! I saw some tee-shirts scarves around the net and got inspired to try some myself... I reaaally liked sewing them, it's so much fun choosing the t-shirts and assembling them together! I'll be definitely doing more of them. These 2 will be put for sale (I already put them on facebook). I named them Tee-lard (t-shirt and foulard (scarf in french)).

On a bag roll!

I think I'm on a bag roll lol! A LYS asked to see some of my stuff and since there's nothing in inventory I need to start building one... The first one is not for knitting stuff I think it's more handbag style. I made it out our fabric remnants, reclaimed buttons. And I'm very happy with its looks :)
(ETA... I didn't remember I already made a post about this bag... LOL! sorry to be talking about it twice!)





The second one is my first finished knitting bag for the LYS. I made it to match the needle roll I made previously. Made out of jeans, fabric remnant, part of a reclaimed belt, reclaimed zips and buttons. I like it a lot!

And be happy! Life is smilling everywhere!!

lol!

First bag for sale!

Here's the first bag available for sale!!! ( I already sold 3 bags but didn't have time to post it before :) so it's the first one that I post and not sold yet...)
I made it out of linen blouse, men's shirt and it's lined with jeans.

Business Name!

I'm all happy I've found a name for my "business" (bags, cosmetic pouches, purses and the like).
I will call it " Cul de Sac" in english it means dead end but in french a bag is sac... It's kind of cute I think ;)

Here's the pencil case I made for my daughter who asked for a princess...


S

She's very happy with it!

I'm almost done with my circular shawl!! 2/3 of the bind off to go ;) Pics coming soon...

Winter Hat.

Here's a hat I made for myself for this winter. With long curly hair that are always put up, it's very hard to find a hat that fits... I love this one, I made it from reclaimed yarn from a woman's cardi, it's acrylic and wool blend. Now I'm thinking about some mitts to go with it :)

I think I'll be working on a red half circular shawl for myself to go with these lovelies... ;)

Aren't they cute?? I just fell in love with them. And they are a dream to wear!

How about some yarn??!

How about some yarn yummys? I unraveled 2 husband's ex-sweaters. And got lots of soft cotton yarn:

Still have to reclaimed the back of the red sweater.
I'm working on a toddler dress right now and should have finished it this week :)

I can tell you it involves knitting, crocheting and sewing!

We went blueberries picking this week end and came home with 18-20 pounds of the little blue balls... Lots of it is in the freezer for winter consumming.
Let me introduce you my son, Julien 6 yo....:)
