Finally Finished! Week 3

Another week goes by so quickly.  I've been busy preparing for the arrival of the In-Laws week end stay and completing a few orders but I managed to continue my challenge with finishing another Work In Progress (WIP).

When I saw these little zip pouches with a clear side, I thought what a fantastic way to organise stuff and see what is inside without having to open each one.  The plan was to make loads of them, but it didn't happen.  This one was started and then ended up in that all too familiar pile of unfinished projects.  

I love the red spotted fabric and now we can see what is inside.  At least some hair ties will be organised.....

Have you seen my other Finally Finished projects!

Week 1:  Butterfly Wall Hanging

Week 2:  Dresden Plate Quilt

Finally Finished! Week 1

Like many crafters and quilters out there, I have a lot of unfinished projects (UFO's), works in progress(WIP's)  that have been tossed into a tub for another day,  for reasons due to always busy family life,  projects I fell out of love with and of course many new and exciting projects I just had to try!

I've decided to set myself a little challenge and try and go through this tub full of magical treasures and start completing them one by one.  Of course there is a weekly time limit so that I can share them all with you, that might be a bit ambitious.

Here's the first one.  I love butterflies and have had these beauties sitting in the tub for a few years now.  Lovely Batik fabric really complimented them and some stipple quilting.  I'm very happy with how it turned out and it's up and hanging on the wall already. 

Now that wasn't so hard was it, best go and see what I'll finish up next, I have a week right!

What the kids are up to....

It's been an exciting school holidays. We are a pretty creative bunch, Woodworking Dad, Sewing Mum, Kids that love paper and paint! The kids have been creating up a storm. The Big One has admired my Etsy store and has wanted to add some of her stuff for ages.

I opened a Section called BonTonsKids for them. Not so sure about going and opening a new Etsy Shop. Within a couple of days, hearts appeared and before the excitement wore off, an item was featured in an Awesome Treasury!

So with the school holidays almost over, I still have the inevitable task of covering all the new school books with all the lovely paper and contact adhesive we've been collecting. I must say, this is not an activity I'm looking forward to.

Here is something new to be added soon to BonTonsKids! Be sure to check them out.
