I'm so Spoiled!

*
Really, I am!
Like a puppy getting it's belly rubbed ;)
*
Look at this gorgeousness that arrived today!

*
I won the coin purse from   Pig Tales and Quilts
and just look at the surprises Thearica sent along too!!

*
How did she know that this is one of my all time favourite colours!!!

*
I just love my coin purse, Thearica wanted a tid bit of info from each entrant 
and then created our purses.
I just happen to love dogs and these retro pups are spot on!
*
*
Orange, it just makes me smile :)
and I love Riley Blake.
This girl is a mind reader, how could she possibly have known?

*
Thank you, Thearica! You made my day :)

UR Priceless Blog Hop Finale


My day has finally come and to share it with such esteemed company
does my heart proud ( and I'm so very nervous ).
My journey to this day was quite a roller coaster ride and if it wasn't for
Katherine and Madame Samm I wouldn't be here!
Thank you both for understanding my plight.
Thirdly, I need to say another big
Thank You to
All of you are amazing and made it all come together in the 11th hour!
*
You all ROCK!!!!
*
Okay, on with the show....

How about another cuppa yummy,
we'll wait for you ;)

For some weird reason the phrase from both Batman and (if you're a fan of The Big Bang Theory)
Sheldon's line in one of the shows
*
*
"I'm Batman"
kept running through my mind every time I cast my eyes in the direction of this fabric,
so I did the only thing I could do...
*
*
The lining represents the jail attire of the nemesis Batman would foil
all in a days work.
I love the way it turned out and my boys think it's "epic"
(that's very good).
*
*
Next, a purse that's more traditional/classic with this delicate floral lining.
I really liked the tutorial for the construction of these purses but I
did do a little modification on the inside, I cut the fleece 1/4" smaller than
the exterior and interior fabrics which made if easier and neater for turning 
and hand stitching to the frame (not as much bulk).
*

*
It reminds me of a little valise of a carpetbagger.
*
*
My final coin purse is a reflection of the flower power days!
How groovy is this print?
This is my tribute to the
"UR Priceless Blog Hop"
because Madame Samm's hops are so FUN
and we just LOVE being a part of them!
*

*
I have a confession to make, I only have 1 frame!
Yep, I stitched the frame onto a purse took my pics, removed the frame and stitched it on the next purse.
I'm sure this makes me some kind of clinical something or other!
*
Please visit the other blogs and see the magic!
Next up is the
