Etsy Finds ala Sandi

So I ventured over to Etsy today and searched "Sandi Henderson Fabric" in the Handmade Category.  WOW.  Lots of beautiful goods out there.  I thought a little feature of some would be fun.  In fact I had so much fun looking through all the listings that I think I'll just have to make this a regular thing.  I only made it through the first 10 pages and there was so much more to look at.  Etsy is such a cool site-I highly suggest taking a peek.  I buy all of my jewelry off of etsy.  And there are all the sewn goods which are just so completely affordable for handmade.

BTW-I have in no way been paid to show these off nor do the sellers even know about it.  In fact I swiped all of their pictures without their knowledge and hopefully they won't mind.  :)  I don't take paid advertising on my blog just so's ya know.  I sometimes receive goods in the mail that people would like me to try out and sometimes I pass it along, but only if I truly like the item. Please know that if I give you my recommendation for something, it is a true recommendation and not a paid one.

That being said, check these out!

Caronlina Patchworks Farmers Market Quilt  I love this quilt!  My free Farmers Market quilt pattern (coming soon) looks an awful lot like this.  :)

Sew Gracious Bag  Love the mixing and matching of fabrics going on here and the clean stripe of linen.  Classy.  I'm seeing a bright orange vintage broach or something in it's future.  (Well, if it came my way that is..)

 

KinderKouture Dress  I just love love love the simplicity of this dress with the little flower!  Really shows off the fabric which of course I like.  :)

Abby Chase Tampon Hider  OK, every woman needs one of these-'nuf said.

 

Little Butter Beans Dress  This is so sweet!  The yoke is really working for me. 

Quiltville Bag  This absolutely had to be included in my list because of how much work this has to be!  And I'm guessing it's pretty big based on the scal of the fabrics-each square is probably about 4 inches.  So pretty and so affordable!

Hazelhouse Quilt - These are the colors I'm thriving on right now.  Orange and green, orange and green - so I love this quilt. 

 

Plaid Square Quilt  Another lovely quilt, I really like the differen shape elements going on here.  :)

OH-and I totally forgot to report on my weekend.  I totally took it off and read the book.  I stayed up ALL night Friday and finished it Saturday.  Dustin read almost the whole thing Sunday after church and finished it yesterday.  We're pretty big book people here.  Can I just say how happy I was with the ending?  All my issues with the story line were completely tied up which is what I was hoping for.  :)  Thank you for all the encouragement to slack off for a few days.  It didn't take much.

Maybe this is only funny because it is still closer to 5 a.m. that any other hour...

Maybe the effect is only apparent in bloglines, but the way the comments and photos lined up, cracked me up.

Specifically, next to the yellow dress: "Every Woman needs one of these." I was like, yeah it is a cute dress, & maybe every girl needs one, but woman...

Then I scrolled down & saw the feminine hygene holder...

[Jessica]

Ohh... that patchwork Farmers Market quilt is calling to me... absolutely gorgeous!!!

[Amanda~Kaytiebugs]

I love Abbychase! She's been one of my fave designers for a while now. I've never noticed her tampon hider before. What a great idea! I hate that dreaded walk from my desk to the bathroom carrying my purse, as if that isn't obvious. Why don't womens slacks/skirts come equipped with reasonably deep pockets? Hello, we've got stuff we need to hide!

[Kim]

I love the different fabric combos! Love them!

[Elaine]

I absolutely need that tampon holder. Ingenious!

I just got the bubble dress pattern from Oliver and s and am on my way to pick up some of your lovely fabric. It will look so lovely on my chunky baby.

Helloooo Sandi!!!

Thank you SO much for featuring my BUDS bag! I'm glad you like it and I'm flattered that you blogged about it. :-) Ginger Blossom has been so wonderful, I can't wait to get my Farmers Market fabric!

Thanks again for sharing the love!
Pam

I completely agree with your assesment of Breaking Dawn, she did a really good job of not making you thing but what about . . .

[Jeannine McCloskey]

Thank you for noticing my baby dress. HeeHee. Your fabric deserves all the compliments. I ordered alot of it, and I was so delighted that the quality was just as beautiful as the print. I could not wait to mix and match everything, however once I saw this yellow print, I knew it had to stand by itself.

[Paula]

Great post. How rewarding it must be to see your fabrics through others' beautiful creations!

[Jona]

Sandi,
How exciting for you to see so many people loving your fabrics! Everything looks so beautiful and I love the simplicity of the little girls dresses (why go overboard when that pretty fabric speaks for itself). You should do this kind of post more often! :)

[Diane]

Wow. awesome Sandi. Thanks. Big Question:Is Farmer's Market in stores now??? I haven't seen it yet, and believe me I've been looking! Maybe I'm outoftheloop on this?
I found a quilting store in Pocatello that we were totally unaware of...

[tricia]

Love all the finds!!

And...the book....I finished mine on Monday...LOVED it. I actually still have a few questions...but I also felt like a lot of the issues I had were tied up nicely too! Such a good book.

[heather hales DESIGNS]

I love that quilted bag!! I keep hitting the local fabric store WAITING for your line to come in, I'm so excited by it!

[Mandy]

Oh thanks so much Sandi for featuring the "Incognito Tampon Wallet". You will be seeing many more of these in the fabulous Farmers Market.
I'm so glad you took the weekend to get some much needed "you time" in. You deserve it. I know absolutely nothing about the book you have been reading, but I do know how rejuvinating it is to get some reading in. There's just something about it that we really need.
I may have to check into those books though.

The quilts and things are all beautiful, and I just love that you stayed up all night to finish the book! It's so satisfying when it all comes out just perfectly. I basically put my life (and family) on hold for 2 days when the last Harry Potter came out, and was glad I did. Sometimes you just need that.

[Suzanne]

I ordered Quiltville bags for my mother and mother-in-law last May (Mother's Day) and they are awesome! Such beautiful details, and so affordable. I loved my mother's so much, she 'loaned' it to me this summer, too.

[Coleen]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Wow, what an honor to be on your blog! I was so excited to see my apron featured while doing my daily blog check this evening! I am so excited, feel like I won a door prize or something, all giddy inside!!!!! Thanks again Sandi and thank you so much for the GREAT fabric!!!!

[Missy]

Fantastic picks! You have such great taste!!!

[momawake]

Looks like lots of people have had fun with your fabrics.

[Jenni]

I am assuming you read Breaking Dawn. I get mine tomorrow - Amazon. Did you like it? It got bad reviews on Amazon....

[PamperingBeki]

Sandi, these are great finds! Congrats on all the fabulous uses of your fabrics. :)

I'm REALLY hoping to get my hands on some of your fabric soon and make some accessories out of it... ;-)

[Kim]

HA! The tampon hider cracks me up. Great idea, though dressed up in that cute little case the little things may be a bullseye for the kids to try and play with during church. I can picture it now, little rockets shooting all over the chapel. ;)
You must be over-the-moon proud to see your designs used so beautifully!

[Megan]

Great designs! how rewarding to see all the beautiful creations done with YOUR fabric! too cool Sandi.

OK, I'm dying to know if you read Breaking Dawn!!!!!!! I've finished it and was curious if you took the time out to as well!? *snicker*

[The Homely Animal]

These fabrics are to die for! If only I could buy them all! :o)

my husband and I both read it also. We loved it too! And glad my husband isn't the only one!:) Although I admit, I lured him in with talk of all the great cars. I told him it was action packed! And it is, so I don't feel the least bit guilty.
