Girly . Boutique-y . Chic-y

Green with Red Polka Dots




Swirly inside

 

Chic Red and Green Zebra

Holiday Flourish

Don't you love the fun, girly pairing of colors and prints that you see at boutiques and in catalogs now?  Zebra or leopard print paired with EVERYTHING!   Whimsical apple green instead of the traditional primary green for Christmas.  Polka dots are everywhere!  Who doesn't love polka dots . .  really!

I've been inspired to create the Sew Gracious vision of these fun pairings.  These are just a few of the new Christmas Organizer Bins in this shop.   What a pretty place to store all those Christmas cards that will start coming in soon.  Fill one with bath and body goodies for your BFF!  Cookies and classroom supplies inside a bin would be a great teacher gift!

Just a few ideas to help you out with a little holiday shopping.  Only 26 days til Christmas, ya know!

Merry Christmas

It's ELECTRIC!

I love Etsy. 

Today is another day in a week filled will dreary, rainy, chilly days. 
It's not a Monday, but not quite the weekend either.
Blah.
Meh.
Whatever.

On my way through the family room, I stopped by the laptop to check my email when I clicked on the Etsy Finds email that I receive regularly.   Somedays I love it, somedays . . .  well, it's ok.  Today was a good day. WOW!  Bursting with color, bright & cheerful.  The perfect little pick-me-up on this gray day. :)  Thanks, Etsy.

Then as I scrolled down to see of the lovlies, hand-picked by Etsy,  I was ecstatic to see that they have featured this reversible bin in today's picks! Yippee Skippy!

If you have a minute, please go check out the entire Storque Article with Today's Etsy Finds.  It's called Electric Ladyland.  I'll say! 

You can see more reversible bins and Easter Baskets in the Sew Gracious Etsy Shop too.

Hope your day is ELECTRIC!

It's Karma, Baby!

It's always flattering when another artist notices & compliments your work.  Today I was honored to be included in MONTAGE MONDAY on the blog of Boutique Karma!  Like me, she adores fabric.  SISTER!!!  She also has a lovely Etsy shop.  I love the coffee cuffs!


 

Big ol' thanks to Boutique Karma for the good karma she sent my way today! 

Etsy Finds : Organization Nation

THANKS, ETSY!

Organization is popular for 2010!

Organization is so popular, in fact, that it was the featured theme in the Etsy Blog {called The Storque} yesterday.  As you know, Sew Gracious has been offering reversible organizer baskets since November 2009 and Etsy has noticed! 

They included this customer favorite bin their picks for getting organized in the new year.  Thank you, Etsy!  There are lots of other great organization goodies in this Storque article.  It's not too late to get your ducks in a row for 2010!

Big thanks to my friend Miki at Fresh Lemon Blossoms for letting me know about the feature. :)

Reversible Organizer Bins for 2010

If you've been a Sew Gracious customer, fan or follower since November 1, 2009 when they were first introduced; you know that Reversible Organizer Baskets were extremely popular during the Christmas season. So many customers asked if I would continue to offer them in the new year.

The answer is YES!

I appreciate so many of you letting me know that you love them! The first of the new bins for 2010 were listed in the shop this week.

ultra preppy : reverses to pink & green polka dots!
This one is sure to be a best-seller

How cute would this or the Polka Dot Puppy be for a baby shower?
Fill it with diapers or baby gear for a cute gift that Mom can use in the nursery!

the perfect place to keep your Valentines

Some of your favorite fabrics are already available, but you'll also find some new fabrics as well as cute Valentine prints. These are just the first of TONS of new fabrics that will be available.

The bins are reversible so the interior is a complementary fabric. If you like the outside fabric, but prefer a solid color lining, that's no problem. Simply purchase the basket you like and let me know in your notes to seller at checkout. I'll make the change for you AND refund $2.00 to your Paypal account. Bins with solid linings are $18 while those with a coordinating print are $20. Not a bad price for getting 2 baskets in 1.

You may also remember last years Easter baskets with the single handle. Any organizer bin is available as a single handle basket. Just as above, make your purchase and note your desired change at checkout.

Keep watching for new fabrics. My work table is piled high with great fabric combinations that you will seeing soon!

Teachers Love Lanyards

and key chains . . . and anything else from your little sweetie! Why not give them something special . . . something handmade. It's the time of year to think of our wonderful hardworking teachers. Classroom parties will be happening within the next couple of weeks so it's time to shop for your favorite educator! Most of these items ship within a day or so of your purchase. Rush orders can usually be accomodated as well . . . just shoot me a convo.

Teachers not only teach our kids everyday, they also take care of them, nurture them and influence them in a mighty way. They put in countless hours for class prep, graduate classes, grading papers, etc. that many of us never consider.

As you know, most teachers need to wear ID these days, which is a very good thing. They also need to keep some keys handy as they go throughout their day. Show them a little love and give them something pretty to keep up with those necessities.
We are blessed with THE MOST WONDERFUL teacher this year. Her enthusiam is contageous and she truly makes learning a fun experience. It's all hands-on in her room and the kids love her.

Your teacher would love a new lanyard, wristlet key fob, mini key fob or even a tissue case. She might also enjoy an organizer bin. What a cute way to collect papers and keep her desk tidy.

See these and all the great teacher gifts {most $8 or less} at the Sew Gracious Etsy Shop! And show your teacher some love! Don't forget the school librarian, administrative assistants, teachers aides and the school nurse!
