Polka-Dot Keychain

I had a friend order this key chain at one of my showcase events and I am so glad that she did because it was a lot of fun to make. It travelled with me across the country twice as we took some vacations and it was the only thing I was able to get done while travelling.
Again these are bad pictures because I have not figured out how to use this new camera...lots of flash and I am sure the white background didn't help much.

She asked for green and white polka-dots with black letters and I love how it turned out. (Take my word for it since these are not the best pics).

Ick picture but maybe you can see the polka dots a bit better. How cute are they!? T, I hope you enjoy this and use it until it falls apart (a good 10+ years lets hope).

A Throwback to High School

Do you remember when you turned 16 all of the great things that you were looking forward to? Driving for the first time alone, having a sweet 16 party, and for some of us getting a needle pointed key chain from a friend.

Well I have had mine for 12 years and it is starting to get thread barren so I thought it was time for a new one...plus my name has changed so time to update as well.

Here at top is my old one...love all of the colors but you can see the white backing showing through. Below it is the new one. I am going to wait until Spring to pull it out.



I love Spring and the warmer weather, man is it cold outside! This little purse below is one of my favorites. It has gone through many spring seasons and I hope I can hold onto it a little longer so I can use the purse and key chain together.

It was the inspiration behind the design for my new key chain. I just love the punch of neon yellow/green and pink on the navy blue. I had some help from a friend who painted my new initials on it for me and then I went away sewing the new design. I hope to have someone to make one for in the future. LOVE IT!
