Today I felt I need the sunshine, you hear a lot about sun deprivation up here in the snowy north but I personally never really felt it before, I got up this morning thinking, OK this is crazy, there was no sun up here in Vermont for a month!!! I swear I was standing by the window looking out and the sun came out!!! and it turned out to be a gorgeous day, not too cold, simply beautiful! so the sun is shining and my husband is back after what seemed to me like the longest month ever, happiness is back in our household!
to celebrate all this I did two things, I baked a chocolate cake from this amazing recipe, I will post the recipe sometime this week.
Then I sat down and made some new pouches with a touch of sun on my mind...so here they are:
I love this whimsical fabric, it's white cotton with an Indian-meets- British- country mix....
the inside is the cutest polka dot fabric, very retro...and the beads are glass
This is also a cute retro looking fabric with tiny flowers in the prettiest shade of light aqua:
and finally bigger polka dots with the above fabric as lining
I also wanted to share with you the newest addition to our Art wall, a print by Betsy Walton purchased from her Etsy shop.
It's truly gorgeous, thank you Betsy!
can you see it there...? it's the one in the middle, I really have to much stuff...
by the way, the pouches are available in my Etsy shop.
Happy New Year to all of you!!! kisses and hugs from ALL of us here in the Schechner household !!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I was inspired by your zipper pulls! Here's a link to my post...

Happy New Year to you and your family. I loved the part about happiness being back in your household with the return of your husband. I feel the same when my husband is away on business.
I admire the spontaneity and joyfulness of your work. I loved your wreath and your new red polka dot purse.
As I grow up I comw to realise that it is important to be surrounded by meaningful art. I therefore applaude your wall of art!
Wishing you joyful and creative 2008.
