Etsy...it does a body good!
I have been going a little nuts on Etsy lately...I freely admit this. I love supporting small crafty businesses and Etsy gives me the opportunity to do that.
*click the picture to see the inside...and yes, the sock yarn matches the bag!*
Piddleloop Sewing Team...a team of 2 sisters sewing up some of the cutest little project totes around! Love these girls! I was introduced to Jenn a few years ago when we both participated in a stitchmarker swap. I still use the ones that she sent me! I had her make a custom set for me with the oh-so-cute goldfish fabric. The attention to detail is stellar. She put the cutest ribbon in each of the needle wallets. One is for DPN's and the other is for circulars. I bought them with the thought that I would keep my specific sock needles in them.
Pictured above:

•4x6 loose fish
•circular wallet loose fish

The icing on the cake though? She sent me a friendship pin. Do you remember them? They were little safety pins that you'd fill with seed beads and put on your shoes? Pink converse high tops in my case! I love it! I'll be sharing more of my Etsy finds in the days and weeks to come. Have a great weekend everyone!

glad you love the set, it was a joy to make them for you.
The piddleloop sewing team is awesome!
I just love that fish fabric, too.
I've never heard of friendship pins, but how cool. I love that bag and the fabric.
Posted by: Wanda at August 3, 2007 01:21 PMWow!! You took it back with the friendship pin!
I used to LOVE those too! :oD
Don't you just love piddleloop!!!!!! I have 2 of their project kits, and adore and use them often. All though i did loose my small fish pouch to my 2 year old daughter. she has taken custody and is not giving it back.

Posted by: Terrie at August 3, 2007 10:56 PMOK, that's just too cute. Love the goldfish print with the matching 'water bubble' lining!
Posted by: Batty at August 4, 2007 06:52 AMAs usual, you show me something and like a little lost sheep I follow and then end up loving it and having to have one for myself. I bought the hearts project set. Their stuff looks so cute!
Posted by: Suzanne at August 4, 2007 08:34 AMHa, I used to work at a fabric store and LOVED that collection. I actually have curtains made out of another fabric from that collection...it's orange with dandelions. There's another print with old-fashioned bicycles, and a few with garden gnomes. It's nice quality too. Very cutely done up here!
