Velvet Strawberries.....the finished product

Hello there! I'm finally back to blogging after my long absence, which I have no good reason for, except that I haven't been in the blogging mood. ;-) I have been productive, though. I've been busy with a new job at a local boutique, sewing a Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) dress for an old doll-collecting client, and dabbling here and there with random Etsy experiments.

My most productive Etsy experiment (so far) has been my vintage-copycat velvet strawberries (shown in my previous post). But this experiment has actually come to completion, and made it's way to my shoppe! This seems to be a rarity for me and my big ideas. ;-) So, I'd like to share a few more photos of the finished products: 6 different styles made from 4 different velvets and 3 styles of seed bead. These would be so cute hanging from a purse, made into a keychain (as my good friend Sasha suggested), adorning a hat or tied up with a sprig of velvet leaves and blossoms and attached to a brown, paper-wrapped package. The possibilities are endless, and I think, adorable!

I'm pleased to present some new additions to my UmbrellaAve. Etsy shoppe : Fabric gift tags. They're made from layers of coordinating fabrics and a middle layer of wool felt to give it thickness. They have neat fraying edges and stamped "To & From" sections on the backs. I've handwritten "A gift for you" on each of them. Check these out in my Etsy shoppe! They make the perfect addition to any gift. And..........they're "green", too!



Why did these turn out sideways? Who knows?! My computer has been doing weird things to me lately.
