We are starting to add items to our Teams pages.  We love sports and love to show our team spirit.  We all have our favorite teams, even some of us are "house divided" sports fans.  No matter how you celebrate your team and/or teams, we are happy to help you with our handmade team spirit quilts, hot pads/pot holders, key fobs, table runners, bags/totes, and more. 
 
Show off that team spirit at your next bbq with these hot pads/pot holders!  Custom orders always welcome!  Visit our page by clicking on the image below for ready to ship and custom order listings.
 

Cell Phone Wristlet Just For Me!

I made myself a cell phone wristlet! Woo hoo!  I never make anything for me so I'm very excited. :-)  I just used basic brown damask fabric for winter; I'll use something fun & bright for summer.  I have a LG Envy Touch phone and this case is perfect!  Already used it to go to the grocery store this evening.
 

iPhone Wristlets

I took my new design a step further and added a wristlet strap so you can carry your phone & everything else right on your wrist.  I'm loving them and really need to make one for myself now.  :-)  These are now available for sale in my Etsy shop; plenty more coming!
 

New iPhone & iPod Padded Case

I was playing around with some ideas for device covers seeing that my entire family carries some sort of electronic device 24/7.  Of course, we all drop them from time to time and need covers for them.  I'm also one to not carry a purse, I travel light, even to the grocery store.  With that thought, I came up with this 2-pocket padded case that easily fits an iPhone or iPod
Touch and includes another pocket to carry I.D., cash, debit/credit cards, etc.
 
The larger pocket that holds the device is made with felt to help keep the touch screen clean & free of finger smudges & scratches.
 
I plan to make plently of these for sale so if you have any special request in colors, sizes, please let me know or visit my shop for listings soon.

Key Fobs Galore!

I had a nice bundle order of key fobs for a friend.  My boys are loving the camo designs and I think they might find one in their stockings. ;-)
 
I have a few duplicates made and available for sale in my Etsy shop with free shipping for US and Canada until 12/31/2010.
 
I am also running a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal; just let me know which one you would like as your 3rd key fob.
