It has been quite hot lately with nice blue skies that I had to take my girls to the beach so that they could have fun cooling off in the water and playing in the sand. Sunscreen is a must!! We tried looking for sea shells but with no luck.

Here is a tote I made for myself. I used a vintage fabric that I found. It is a linen print...this was actually a hard fabric to work with for some weird reason. When I cut the fabric, it was a little off.

I found this table at the Goodwill store and it only cost me $30. I am planning on painting it but not sure on what colors and I think I want to change the handles.
Tates artwork is displayed above it. There is a picture of our bunny that she drew...a new addition to our family...my favorite.

I had the pleasure of meeting Leanne through Etsy. She designs fun and colorful textile prints. I absolutely love the print with the campers! I made her a tote using her lovely print. With the what little extra fabric I had left over, I made her a matching pouch to go with it. If you can guess, it's the middle part of the tote that has been cut out. You can check out her shop here

I came up with this pattern before falling asleep one night. I originally was thinking tic tac toe, so at first it was going to be hearts with x's. That did not come out as I hoped so I used circles instead. I am much happier with the outcome. I used the spoonflower website to print out my design onto fabric but the color was a little different. I am going to try adjusting the colors again and see what how that will turn out. The hard part is waiting.

I bought a few things on Etsy from different Etsy sellers.
I was eying out the vintage pyrex cups from Vintology,
the cute gray ruffle pouch from BeckyM,
and this lovely bowl from Gemmabear.

My first ever front page on Etsy. It's a month later that I am posting but I am so happy.
