3 Sets

I love this set. It now has an insert for essential oil bottles, and one for healing crystals. Perfect for travelling.  Cheryl loves the colours, and I am so glad there was just enough for all the pieces she wanted.

I also made another oracle card bag with the wolf, and a feather detail.
 It goes with this set of cards, which are absolutely delightful, from the images seen online. I have done a couple of past life regressions with Brian L Weiss cd, and so as he has teemed with Doreen Virtue, these cards are bound to be exceptional.


And another set with a dreamcatcher detail.
 These fabrics are very Canadian, which I find eerily beautiful.

Connected with spirit guide card deck.

Soulseed Journey oracle bag set

I am really enjoying the applique on these little bags, I just love going with a theme... 

This is such a lovely set, and I look forward to it reaching it's destined owner. 


 I called it the Infinite Starseed as it features a sterling silver and cubic zirconia infinity charm.


Just so visually pleasing. I love the main bag fabric and will keep my eyes peeled for something similar.

Starseed Woman oracle cards bag set

I adore the way the fabric has positioned itself so that the stars are right on the heart, crown, throat and solar plexus chakras in this applique. 


They could't have worked out better if I painted them on!


Finished off with sparkly moon fabric, Swarovski crystal star charm and rainbow double draw string.



I have a feeling I will be making another one of these bags, and I wonder where the stars will end up next time....

Oh Tula!

Oh Tula! I finished this quilt from mostly Tula Pink fabrics on the day I found out that Westminster/Free Spirit would no longer be printing fabrics. After 30 years, they are retiring!

This leaves a swag of designers without fabric "publishers" so to speak! Including Tula Pink, Anna Maria Horner, Kaffe Fassett Collective and many more.


Oh, these were our fresh, hippy, boho and bright fabric suppliers! Who will pick them up now?



I seem to recall Tula Pink being with Moda once before, I hope they can pick them up once again.
Imagine how many people will be out of work with over 30 fabric designers' fabrics not being printed anymore.


New changes for the industry. Wouldn't it be great if one really huge entrepreneur bought out the company and everything continued as it has been?


Hello purple tiger face.


I love this quilt! This one is leaving my home, but I have enough fabric to make myself one of these gypsy boho inspired quilts.

Mine will be perfect as a gypsy fortune teller's cloth... when I get around to making it...

Azure peacock essential oils and crystals bag

Woohoo! I've had the inserts for this bag on my TO DO list for about 4 weeks. This is my essential oils or healing crystals bag with matching inserts (original design).


I've made the inserts in the sizes to suit the bottles used by the bag's new owner, and also to suit her healing crystals.

Yes, she is a mobile healer.

It warms my heart to know that my creations are going somewhere to be appreciated, used and loved.

Archangel Bag

I love the look of Mexican art. And when i wanted to make a bag to go with this Archangel Power Tarot Cards deck, I thought of a heart with angel wings.





And this is what I have created.

This is a really big deck containing 78 cards, so the bag had to be extra large.




I painted the heart onto muslin, using Jo Sonya paints and a fabric medium.


Then I appliqued it onto this fabric that looks a bit like angel tear drops.


Hmm... I have plans for a carousel unicorn cushion.. which may just have quite a bit of painting on the carousel. Let's see what happens.

How many shoes does a girl need?

I loved making the Ruby Slippers section of the cushion so much, that I kept making it...


 And here is a small version which I am using as a bag for this deck of cards based on the book The Universe Has Your Back.



 The deck contains card with affirmations, uplifting quotes and prayers.

I really see myself making more of these bags. I ADORE making the shoes in particular. I have painted, appliqued and added details of hand guided machine embroidery. And how many shoes does a girl need for herself? Maybe I shouldn't answer that question... Heh heh..


And this is a little snippet of my first go at Diamond Painting. It's so similar to something my kids have been doing for years with large diamonte stickers.... It takes a lot of time, and I probably wouldn't frame it... I wonder what I will use it for.

When I asked the kids what I should do with it they said to "glue tack" (blu tac) it onto the wall above my bed. Guess where their stickers by numbers sets are? yep. on the wall above their beds. Bless them. x
