Wishlist: Sparkly A For Amanda, Please!

Comments
Here is a late-night {well, on German time!} find that I have to share with you all: the British based Alphabet Bags!  Alright, you may have already seen these {they've been all over the press!}, but little old me just stumbled upon them for the first time!  Now, this idea is quite simple, but it is the simple things in life that make it worth while, right?  And who wouldn't want their initials sparkling across the front of a cute tote?!  My dilemma is this: would I get a bag for my first name's initial or my last?!  Either way, I'd of course choose the glitzy diamante!  Yumm!  How does yours look?!  Oh, how lovely!


Cute, aren't they?  Makes me almost wish I was back in college so that I'd have books to tote around every day!  And in case you don't want your bag to showcase your initial, Alphabet Bags also sells darling totes in other designs!  And snap purses too!


And at 12:30am, I'm off to bed with a sewing project completed: a Tiffany-blue curtain for my powder room window!  Hooray for late night projects :)  Hope that you all had a marvelous weekend!

I Made Our Kitchen Curtain!

Comments
Oh yeah, I just made our kitchen curtain in two hours!  Oh yeah!  :)  My first sewing project, a great success!  ...Anyway, went to a fabric store here in Auerbach with a friend of mine from the neighborhood.  It was a great store with a fairly good selection, but sadly, most of he fabrics have to be specially ordered & take about a week to arrive.  But I wanted to sew today!  So, I found this fabric, which is a nice silky feel in a peachy coral color.  I really liked it, even though it wasn't exactly what I was thinking of for the kitchen, so I got it!  And roughly two hours later, this is what I had...

Hooray!  I really like it!  And as the sun shines in, the color casts a nice warm glow around the room.  What's better than that?!  Makes me want a good cup of coffee & a great book to read!  Oh wait...our coffee maker is broken...That's another project for me to tackle soon!

Now, can anyone tell me where I can find Germany's version of Hobby Lobby?!  I need more fabric!  :) ♥
