Keepin' busy

 The nicest part about being off work is all the creative things I have time for. Because I have such an extensive craft stash I have plenty of materials to work with. Here are some of the recent things I finished.

Love the red and black combination of this cell phone bag.

The other day when I posted the reading pillow with the blue and white striped fabric, I thought I had already posted this bag. So here is the bag I was talking about. Love the looks of this one too. I think I have made a total of 11 of these so far.

For these stars, I pieced together some red, white and blue fabric, sandwiched it with some batting and plain white or off white fabric and traced around a wood star that I got from Dollar Tree last year. I used the traced line as my stitching line. Then I turned it right side out and stitched around the edge. And there you have a fun little patriotic candle mat.

Someone asked if she could have two of the sunflower bow barrettes and I told her I only had one but could make a second. She then asked for two pink of the knot bow hair ties. 

And last but not least, I made myself a business card. I spent way too much time trying to design one and finally went to bing copilot to ask for some suggestions. It was a big help in finally finding something I truly liked. I blacked out my phone number here because I prefer not to put it out there
