I've said it before, but in my case an old saying "shoemaker's children are often shoeless" is so true. My sister complains (and for a good reason, really) that I should wear more of my own designs, to get a conversation started and "then you could slip them your beautiful business card". Thanks sis, that reminded me of an another problem, the cards (still missing).
I found this pretty-reused-striped-sturdy-cotton while thrifting some weeks ago. The piece wasn't quite large enough for a bag (it was a small-ish pillow cover) but the colors were just lovely. I pieced it for a few pouches and some keyfobs and needle felted the birds. And liked it even more. Then and there I decided that this set will be mine.
And because it's only for me, should it lack some details?
Definitely not. The following has no connection to a certain brand or their products, but I think the set is perfect because I'm worth it. The cutest birdie-set ever, so me, (and a great conversation starter too, I'm off to hunt the business cards soon, do not worry sis!), mission accomplished.
Happy new week soon!
Yours,
Mia

Mia you are missing an opening if you do not carry your own wonderful bags. I wear a lot of my own jewellery and many, many commissions start by someone seeing something I am wearing, asking where it is from and hey presto...a new commission.
You must get also get some cards, there are lots around. You could have your dear Birdies on them?
You are most certainly "worth it" and I love the bright pieces you chose for your own. Show them off with pride, your work is gorgeous. Happy Sunday,

Lovin the stripes Mia - and, you're definitely worth it :0)

Show off your handmades with pride!!!! So happy you made something for yourself! take care my finland friend, xoRobin❤
Thank you Lyn - I know :) But it always seems that something business-related gets done before my own things... But not this time!
Have a wonderful new week!

It's lovely Mia and I'm glad you've found time to make something for yourself. I've also just read you last post and it did make me laugh as we have mice that steal our Alpine/wild strawberries. I've just panted loads more bushes and we've managed to taste a few ourselves this year.

Hi Beth!
I am so happy to hear that others "battle" with similar issues and it's not just me :) And I have had taste of strawberries this year too - please see my post on Thu 21st July!
Happiest week with sunshine!
Yours,
Mia
