Thank you very much for leaving me
such sweet, thoughtful comments for my
previous post. Many of you have mentioned
that you prefer a smaller wedding
and really helped to remind me of
great sides of such a small wedding like
ours, and now I feel like I made the
best decision for our wedding! Thank you!
The strong desire to perform a big ceremony/
reception in the future which existed within
me is even now fading, which is a great
news for Joe who likes things simple and natural.
I'm thinking that maybe a couple of little casual
parties, one in Washington and the other
in Japan, might be good enough. haha.

Coming back to a crafty talk, this is a custom
plastic bag dispenser to match the set of
two potholders I worked on. The pattern is
in the current issue of Stitch magazine.
It was my own pattern but I totally forgot
how I had made it so I followed the instruction
in the mag, haha. I really like how this one turned out.

Here is a set of 6 coasters that is
also supposed to be matching.

I hope these matching kitchen items
will bring some happy, rhythmical
atmosphere to the recipient's home.

Ok, time for me to get back to
my crafty space for some more sewing!
I hope your week started off
nicely with some plans to get crafty ;)
Thank you for stopping by!



































That is so cute!

ReplyDeletei'm having a giveaway so i wanted to invite you. it's insignificant compared to your work, but everyone was a begginer once, right?
super cute!!
ReplyDeletei'm always forgetting how i made things too :0
My husband and I had a super small wedding... it was super intimate and we were able to spend more on the dinner with our close friends and family.
ReplyDeleteI love your little sewing project!
I really like your work and your great tutorials, but I just love that you forgot how to make your own pattern! What a good job your instructions are so clear!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I had a small wedding too and I have absolutely NO regrets! Every time I attend a big traditional wedding I just think, "Thank goodness we didn't do that!" The stress, the expense . . . craziness!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the patchwork on this grocery bag dispenser. You always have such cute tiny prints!
I love your tutorials and all the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI nominated your blog for an award. You can come pick it up here..

I love the pot holders! The fabric and the way put the blocks together in the bag holder would make a great little hand bag.
ReplyDeleteI adore the way you mix cute fabrics together. These kitchen accessories would cheer up any space. They are very very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitching and have a wonderful weekend!
Just beautiful ! I love all of them !
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, really great idea. Perhaps you might have a look on my blog, where I've shown a placemat made by the help of your Tutorial. Many thanks for sharing this with us ;-)

Precioso trabajo!!!! Y un deseo de mucha felicidad por la boda!!! Estás muy linda en la foto Ayumi, Abrazos desde Argentina!!!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Mills, :^D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your recent wedding!
I just discovered your blog and had to tell you how much I love the tutorials. I looked at all of them, but the one that turned my light bulb on was the basket. I'm going to try and make a larger version with strong fabric for a laundry basket! How much space I will save with fabric baskets over plastic or even wicker baskets.
I think I need to make this project, too. No matter that I try to use cloth bags for shopping... we still get a lot of plastic bags, too.
