Get Crackin'!


         Hey everyone. I tried to stay true to my words and I added a new relevant post with pictures! Okay, I know the pictures aren't great, but I'm documenting my work which is something I've always avoided doing. I do them now reluctantly but I'm sure with persistence and practice, I might be able to work that issue out. Or. Ask Justin.

          So anyway, I'm super excited about these items. The first two are checkbook covers. They have inner pockets that hold the plastic cover in place. I did take pictures of those but they turned out awful. No amount of Photoshop editing could make it whole again.

            These are Christmas presents! I'm pretty sure the recipients are not reading my blog. I mean, really,  this is only the first thrilling post. Hopefully, after the holidays, I'll publicize this to Facebook so that I'll have some accountability and continue these posts.
          This is a pocket day planner that I covered with a lovely cotton print I've held on to for way too long. It was originally a checkbook cover but it turned out just a few hairs too small. The pleather of the day planner was thick enough that it wouldn't warp when squeezed into a tight space. In the end, it looked very nice and I'm anticipating the coming of that elusive day in December, so that I might use it.
             I really am looking forward to the next batch of items. 
I've got a few unfinished hats, a flawed skirt (to fix), and a hopeful dress all in the works. If I could just motivate myself into completing projects, I could finally sell them in my Etsy shop. Although, I do have quite a few more checkbook cover presents to make. 

Better get crackin'.
