The Christmas tree is up and the guest areas of the house are decked out in holiday finery.

The wreaths are up outside, the coach and pole lamps have been touched with red velvet bows, and the small tree is up. This year I painted paper mâché stars white and added white glitter for just a little sparkle. The snow that fell last night looks like frosting on the branches just outside the front door.

The Christmas cards are almost finished and I’m in a baking mood again.

There’s still time to leave a message for me on the post about the purse giveaway. The name of the lucky winner will be drawn Friday at noon EST in the US. I’ll then contact the winner for her (or his) snail mail address.

Also, let me know if you are interested in the wire hearts or metal tree cutouts for rust-dyeing fabric. They will probably not be part of the Trusty Rusty line of products. The supplier is not willing to commit to consistent quantity, price, or supply. So, when they’re gone; they’re gone!

Holiday Giveaway


Well, I am finally taking the plunge with this holiday giveaway.

The signed handbag is a funky little accessory, 6" x 8 1/2" (excluding the handle).

Both fabrics on the outer shell are rust-dyed cotton. The darker fabric has been further treated with tannin and the lighter fabric has surface design applied with Paintsticks. The lining fabric and tassels have also been rust-dyed. Black piping outlines the bag and emphasizes the piecing.

Free-motion stitching is worked on the shell, front and back, in copper metallic and black rayon threads.

This sassy little bag is perfect for party or everyday.

Please leave a comment for me on today’s post and the winner will be chosen on Friday December 19th. I’ll be glad to pay postage within the states. :-)

Also, I just opened a shop on the 1,000 Markets website. Please visit my new shop at:
