Hope you had a sweet weekend. I managed to make the best of mine even though i'm still feeling a little under the weather. I suppose it gives me an excuse to rest a little more and enjoy a little more lounging time this week. Thank you kindly for all the kind words and advices during my sick days {and always}, too. I really appreciate it.
Remember the iCase project i mentioned on Friday? Well, it is finally completed. I think it turned out quite lovely. I promised myself i would complete it over the weekend in order to catch up on some much needed new wearable items as well as stay focused and not get too distracted by other projects on my agenda. Once i start making certain things, it's often times hard to stop. There's the slight perfectionist in me that wants to get it right and won't quit until that happens.
By now, you have probably figured out i have a thing for working with lots of colors, in fabric as well as other mediums. This piece above could most definitely be called buttons and blossoms. It is inspired by my camera cozy case.
A while back in full organizational dorkiness mode, i separated all of my fabric patchwork set by color. The binding here is created from the inspiration found in my new, well organized brown and green storage patchwork set box. I love the dollies, flowers and cats in this fabric, don't you?
I added a pocket for flair and finished it with green little pom-pom trim just because. As with any first time project, there is definitely a tinny bit of wonkiness here and there, but i actually really love those parts. The best part though is completing a project i've been thinking about and knowing that it's made for a very special friend, Kate.
I'm already thinking about making a few more to send out into the world. As for other projects, i'm in the midst of creating some wearable cuteness, which i'm really excited about. More soon!
Have a good merry happy Monday. Love to you and yours.
Jacqueline!!!!!! I LOVE your new case!!!! It's a stroke of creative genius!!!!! Such a brilliant idea to reflect the parts of the iPhone on the outside design, and the details are just phenomenal!!!!! The colour, oh love, love, love them! Such colour sensibility!!!! You just made my day, again!!!!

Jacqueline! This is absolutely fantastic! Your work is always so colorful, thoughtful, and adorable. And I am extra happy about it, knowing it is a gift from you to Kate! It's been fun seeing the design process of this case over time. Congrats on finishing up this new piece! (will you be selling these? because I really think they could be a hit)

Cute as a button! Love those little buttons with the green "wings" underneath. I this all those little details you added to this project really put this piece over the adorable scale! I know what you mean about getting distracted with other projects. Sometimes it's hard to narrow down your favorites!

Looking at this reminds me how good it is to be able to saw and create something unique. I used to be able to saw many years ago but I've not done it for so long I wouldn't know where to start, maybe I should have a go again and see what happens :)
