A Sampling of Isa Creations at the Pink Attic Cat

I can't believe another week has come and gone.  I worked with Kindergarten and 4th grade this past week when I worked as a substitute teacher on Monday and Wednesday.  I am scheduled to work next Monday, in my son's 4th grade class.  This will be a first for both of us.

My 16 year old daughter has been driving herself to school for the past 2 weeks, soon after she got her driver's license.   Although part of me is still getting use to the very idea of her driving herself to and from school, I have to admit it has been nice to not have to pick her up from school after Tennis practice.  However, on days like today where the wet icy snow keeps falling.... I worry.

My son Alex's artwork was selected to represent his 4th grade class (a boy and girl is selected per grade).  The open house at a local college is tonight.  Both of my kids are creative, however, more recently I see more of it in Alex.  Laura is too busy with high school AP classes and Tennis.

I was at the Pink Attic Cat on Tuesday.  I love how Amy always transforms her shop to reflect the seasons.  Although it is snowing as I write this, we have had a small peak into Spring.

Yeah!  Spring is on it's way, even if we are in a pattern of Snow, Sunshine, Snow again!!

Anyway, here are a few pictures of a sampling of Isa Creations handcrafted items at the Pink Attic Cat located at  2555 W. Alamo, Littleton, CO 80123.  Visit the Pink Attic Cat's Facebook page here.

 Next week, I will show more pictures from the Pink Attic Cat.

Re-purposed Tattered Quilt

I found a tattered quilt at an estate sale about a month ago.  It was a bargain!  After I washed it, I realized this quilt was much more delicate than I realized.  After it was washed...well, it got even more tattered.

This tattered quilt is now Easter Eggs and more Lined Zippered Bags for Nook, Kindle Fire and mini iPad (also great for storage like cosmetics, art supplies, etc).

Along side the tattered quilt eggs, I also created Easter Eggs from vintage Chenille bedspread.

The lined zippered bags created using the tattered quilt was more challenging that I originally anticipated.  As I worked on them, I realized I needed to add layers of crochet doilies to the bags to help protect the more delicate areas of the quilt.

I love the fabric by Christy Tomlinson, I think it's called Bella's Dream.   The text fabric is from Sweetwater.   I have many more of these in progress.  I have a few with girls on them, but most of the lined zippered bags created using the tattered quilt are Houses...all with keys on the zipper pull.

My Nook is well protected in this quilted bag (also has an added layer of fusible fleece for added protection).

All of these items will be available at Sugar Plum Bazaar  this weekend, March 9 & 10 at the Parkside Mansion (1859 York Street, Denver, CO)  ..rain, snow or shine....although the early forecast indicates it will be SNOW!  I will be there...hopefully our customers will be there too!

These will also be available at the grand opening of Checkered Corner on 5650 South Curtis in Downtown Littleton on March 15, 16, & 17th.    Checkered Corner will be opened on the third weekend of each month (except in December when it will be open December 13, 14, & 15).
