AQUA & BROWN Creations and Winner

Aaaaand we're back! Apologies for my tardiness, it has just been one of those weeks. ;-) Without further delay, here is the giveaway item this week:


A fabric covered frame!


More decoupage magic, and it's sealed with decoupage glue as well so it will be nice and sturdy.


I just love covering up plain old wood with pretty fabric...so fun!


Next up is an apron!


Just a simple little half apron with a double flounce on the bottom, it's up for sale here. I love these fabrics together! This combo was one of those chance match-ups where I just happened to have it sitting out while digging through my stash and the sight of the other fabric right next to it caught my eye and I said, "Yes! That's what I'll use." :-)


I also made another plastic bag dispenser...


which is in my shop here. I just love how quickly these go together! I've yet to make myself one but I'm planning on it.


And finally, I made a meal planner, like the one I made for myself here.


It could also be used as a chore chart, or a scheduling tool, anything you can think to write on a 3x5 notecard works! This has really helped me cut my meal planning time down drastically, I love just being able to look through a stack of meals and pick one and slide it beside a day of the week. It has helped me remember all my grocery needs as well, as I'm always forgetting something!


This one is up for sale in my shop here.

I also made a couple sets of coasters, and several tissue holders but haven't gotten around to listing them yet and taking pics, but I'll post a link as soon as I do. :-)

Alright, now for the winner this week...

CHERYL!! Congrats! :-) I'll be contacting you shortly to get your address.

Ok, since I'm a day late I'll be posting the next color combo fabric soon, and I'll leave it up through Sunday to vote. I'm excited about the next one!

Thanks everyone!

Aqua Fabric Creations and Winner

Ok, finally I'm able to post the aqua creations! I had a few technical difficulties yesterday, half of my pictures were eaten by the computer. :-P So that set me back a little on time, but it's all good!

Alright, so the giveaway item this week is....


a rice therapy pack!







It can be heated up in the microwave or stored in the freezer. I made some with lavender oil, and some with vanilla mint, mmm! The winner can choose which scent she'd like, and all the others are in my Etsy shop.

On a side note, I got a little stamp from VistaPrint this week (it was free, yay!) and started experimenting with it a little, as you can see here...


Way cool!

Next up, I'm totally in love with this next project because it was SO easy but the result is just TOO cute!


A tissue box cover. :-)



Do you just love those bows?? And the best part is....


It's reversible! How cool is that? I think I'll definitely be making more of these in the future, super quick and easy and gives me immediate gratification, which I love, lol. I have 2 available in my shop!

I also made another grocery bag dispenser.


And some tissue holders.


A couple of my smaller scraps weren't even big enough for a whole tissue holder so I decided to sew some coordinating fabrics together to make it large enough. Love the result!


And now for the winner....

STEPHANIE!! No, not me, the other Steph in Texas. ;-) I'll be emailing you soon to ask which scent you'd like and get your address.

Thanks everyone, I'll post the next fabrics tomorrow and you'll have through the weekend to vote. :-)

Green Fabric Creations and Winner

Green fabric creations are all done! Since the fabric is green, I decided to go with a "green" theme.

First up, the giveaway item...


A reusable grocery bag. :-) Paper or plastic? Neither! Fully lined with a nice unbleached muslin inside. I made two, one to give away and the other is up for sale in my Etsy shop here.



Since they were pretty large bags, I didn't have a whole lot of fabric left over. With what I did have, I made some cute ruffly cup cozies! Save some trees and use these instead of cardboard ones.


They're up for sale here.

Finally, in the interest of being "green" by using every last bit, I had just a small amount left and made one lone tissue holder from it.


Don't recognize that green fabric? Take a peek inside. ;-)



This one is for sale right here.

And now for the winner of the giveaway...

JOLAN!! Congrats, I'll be contacting you shortly. :-)

Thanks everyone, I'll be posting new fabric choices tomorrow...I'm excited about tomorrow's color, it might not be what you think. ;-)

Yellow Fabric Creations and Winner(s?)

Phew, what a week! I'm going to keep this short and sweet so I can get back on track.

The giveaway is a gathered clutch with the combination of the 2 fabrics several people suggested in the comments.







With about half of the fabric I made a Regency Inspired apron, combined with a black check so it reminds me of a taxi, lol. For sale here.



Next is a notebook cover, again with the combination of the two yellow fabrics. I ended up using up nearly all of fabric #2 as well, so that's a bonus! :-) In my Etsy shop here.




And finally, some tissue holders, but with a twist...


RUFFLES! I don't know why it took me so long to add ruffles to a tissue holder, but I love the results.



They're up for sale here and here.

Now for the winner of the gathered clutch...drumrolllll....

RAMONA! Congrats, I'll be emailing you shortly. :-)

Now I have a surprise! Since I was so late this week AND since I ended up using pretty much all of the #2 fabric, I decided to pick a second winner from those who voted for it. They'll be receiving a ruffly tissue holder. That winner is...

JANE! Keep an eye out for an email from me.

Thanks all! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up a bit on all I need to do this week, stay tuned for the next choose my fabric post.

Orange Fabric Creations and Giveaway Winner

Running a little behind this week, it's been crazy! But I finally managed to use up all the orange damask fabric. First, the giveaway item...


A plastic grocery bag dispenser!


I love the idea of taking things that usually aren't so pretty, and making them pretty. :-) What better excuse to hang some bright and happy fabric in your kitchen than a grocery bag dispenser? Lovely AND functional, my favorite combination!


Don't have plastic grocery bags around? This can be used for many other things as well: towels, tissue paper, even diapars.


I made another one with some orange poppy fabric, which is up for sale in my Etsy shop.



This fabric was just so happy and cheery, combined with the yellow polkadot fabric it reminded me of citrus and sunshine...which reminded me of a kitchen...



Which, of course, meant I had to make an apron. ;-)


It's up for sale in my Etsy shop here.


Finally, while the leftover scraps were mostly too small for tissue holders, I still didn't want to throw them away and so I made some fabric covered cards!


They are also for sale in my Etsy shop!



Now for the giveaway winner....

Regina!! Congrats on the win, I'll be emailing you shortly to get your shipping info. :-)

Thanks everyone, I'll be posting the next round of fabrics in just a little while!
