Lunch Sacks Damask and Dots

I whipped up some new lunch bags this weekend, and have a little ribbon work to do on a few wine totes. (I desperately need a new camera, I cannot seem to get a decent picture!(
Anyway, on to Lunch Sack eye-candy:

Poppies and Polka dots

Of course I have to have polka dots. seriously.. I think I'm a dotaholic:

This Damask print is my favorites:

Picnic for one anyone?

All of these are available on my Etsy or Artfire sites!

Things to do while on the phone with tech support.

I have this wonderful client who is teaching her daughter how to cook. She's using my recipe cards and album to start her off. They are going to fill in the cards and then use the space next to the recipe slot in the album to tell about the first time making the recipe together. I thought this was the sweetest idea! I totally love it! I thought I might offer Mommy and Me packages in my shop. Recipe albums and cards, with matching (or contrasting aprons) So as I sat on the phone for 2 hours with HP printer tech support, (which BTW is so much better now for the tech than it was when I worked for HP) I cut out and put together most of this apron during the call, between reboots and clicks. Talk about multitasking! I have a cute apron, a crick in my neck and I can print again! woot!

Busy Busy! Between slaving away in the sweat shop and my personal life, I've neglected my little blog here! So.. Updating!
New Snack sacks, New Wine totes and New lunch bags as well as new line of recipe cards are all up or will soon be up on my etsy and artfire sites! I'm still trying out new patterns and designs and I think my new favorite is definitely the pirate snack sack.
Packing the Monkey's lunch this morning I couldn't refrain from a little Pirate lingo, "Ahoy Matey! Would ye like a dab of mustard or mayo me hearty? Arr! Arrr! Talk like a pirate day is coming up September 19th so I have plenty of time to practice!

Damask poll is up!

So in my quest to create cuter recipe cards I've run into a dilemma, I've been working on a new Damask background and I personally I prefer it over the old one. BUT, there are those who prefer the lacy old version. So take a moment and take the poll and tell me which you prefer!
Old Damask White on Pink,


Yes I probably should take a pic with the same color scheme, But this Is what I have a pic of at the moment :
