Sierra Here - been creating but have nothing that is

Bags to Brag About....
The picture of the Gucci fabric is just that...A picture of Gucci Fabric!!!

Came in the post earlier this week, Now I am waiting for the

right color leather and suede to start...

My Great Knockoff Purse !

THEN .....
I was lurking on one of the purse groups a day or so ago and one of the gals mentioned using shower curtains as liners.
I Thought at the time, something to think about..a day so so ago brought it to Friday and I was searching for a leather fabric to test another purse design on and ran across a sheet of plastic that I had been holding, it was for out door stuff...but never got to that one yet...


I also have been looking on line at all the designers and their fall lines.
Especially the Louis Vuitton and her little bucket clear view purse that is made from PVC and has an 8 inch drop of leather handles and is a7" wide by 8 inches high and retails for
$1,390 US dollars!
Yep, for such a little thing. Clear. with leather base and ohhhh...Please do not forget the cute little Logo name cell phone...and a leather purse ...Cute. Cute , Cute.
However, I would be lucky to every be seated next to one, lol
Any way, I got to thinking about the plastic PVC shower curtains...you know...and next thing
I am stitching out a fsl (free standing lace) design on this plastic stuff and low and behold I liked it!
Now with some leather bases and handles and a cute little phone holder.(wonder if I can get a Tero PDA holder???? and oh yes, the cosmetics case.

Boy, this blog stuff is hard to come up with great ideas .... so your stuck with this one. leaving you with smiles and moonbeams ....

As always, Silvery Moonbeams to watch over you.

Last picture is the back,

By using the same color thead in your bobbin, both sides are tidy and ready for a purse....

Keep you posted.....

Geisha with Umbrella

Finally finished this Geisha, I must admit I stitched Geisha till I could see her bone structure in my sleep!


I finished her by going in with an airbrush and define the bone placement over her brows and under her eyes. The rest turned out all the way the designer wanted.
I added a purse fob in black beads with a gold tone circle and the bag is in black silk.

I have another Geisha from the same company Orfeus of Australia Brisbane
and will probably start her after I finish this knockoff Gucci one, Still waiting for the fabric to arrive...

The knockoff should be interesting.
Will post more when it progresses.




She is a pretty one, this Geisha.
I am glad she is over though, but I did learn tons of techniques with this.

It is cool here this evening, here in Arizona around 65 degrees. And for the desert that is cool. It looked like a small overcast was passing but, no, I was on line to a friend who lives in Woodstock, Georgia and she says good night quickly as it was thunderstorms and rain! I like the rain especially at night, Our rainy season will be around July 4Th and only last around 10 days with only 2 inches at most!
Well. on my way to batten the hatches and take my medicines, Another day ....
As always...Silvery Moonbeams to watch over you and yours.

Butterflys and Spring

Knockoffs! Bet I do not have to tell you what I have been working on?
Would it be reasonable to pay $1.890 dollars for a purse! What a life style!
But, I have always looked with envy as the young things carry their Designer Purses with such pride!
So, I am working on my own ....Keep posted! lol
Well lets see, still working on the grapes for my table sets.
Did stop to enjoy a little Holiday and now I am back into the studio and thinking of things to start and tons of projects that were left ....





This is a Buttery fly Freed Standing Panel, It is a beauty to stitch out and now, it can be a cut work or a purse front or a pillow....And the test turned out to be superior. I have been working with bobbin threads the same colors and threads of the top threads.
I have worked with Rayon from the ABC Embroidery Designs and find that they stitch on a professional machine with ease.


This is stitched on Valium and will be
washed away for a stand alone lace.

I just love the laces.
Have several new laces from ABC ...a rose table set and hit the jack pot on e:bay with their alphabets. Sea foam and
One that is just glorious White work Victorian, I will test that on Tuesday.
Today was the official start of my retirement.
I was approved by Social Security and
now am officially among the Senior citizens of life.
Being Queen is Good! ....
lol
Finished the wire frames for the Threat er DE La mode and some of the faces. I have to do the frames when my hands are ready to bend them. This project is a slow one to complete. But, I am in no hurry..

It is a beautiful day here in Arizona, around 89 degrees, light wind and quiet, just the song birds and bunny and roadrunner here with me. Miss Kat is asleep in the Arizona room...all legs in the air and sleeping on her back! Do all Kat's sleep like humans?

Well, be posting more now that I am off Holiday and ready for a beautiful spring in the desert.
Before I end this, I would like to send a final farewell to one of the most unique women that I had the privilege to know. Ruth Ann Hermbreck passed over on April 18Th 2007 she was 76 years old and a real live wire. She will be truly truly missed by me, as she held a very special spot in my heart. Ruthie Ann, I loved you dearly and still do.
