Thank a Teacher During Teacher Appreciation Week

It’s time to start preparing for Teacher Appreciation Week which begins on May 7, 2018.

There were many wonderful teachers in my life. They were always full of kind words and encouragement. There was the teacher that had a belief in my abilities when I had no confidence of my own. The teacher that pushed me harder and harder until I thought I would snap, but then one day I finally got it! The teachers that made learning fun. And especially the teacher that noticed me when others didn’t seem to care.

Teachers make a difference in their students’ lives in ways they don’t always realize. Don’t forget to thank a teacher during Teacher Appreciation Week.

ThankYou

Wine Bags Are Now In Stock

Zinnia’s Closet is now offering a new product: wine bags!

Have you ever been invited to a friend’s or colleague’s home for dinner? You feel like you should bring something as a small gift. Maybe some flowers, a nice dessert, or a bottle of wine. You could carry that bottle of wine in the brown paper bag you got at the liquor store, or you could wrap it in a fabric bag.

Product Details: The bag is large enough to hold one bottle of wine. The handles are handmade with fabric. There is even a small pocket on the inside to hold a corkscrew.

Here is a picture of the first wine bag that I’ve made. Look for more bags in the coming weeks. Let me know what kinds of patterns you’d like to see on them in the comments section.

Happy Spring!

Happy Spring!!

Does it feel like spring where you are? The weather has been cold and rainy for several days here. There’s even snow in the forecast for tomorrow!

I’m trying to cheer myself up and think of Spring with one of my favorite fabric collections: Color Theory by V & Co. for Moda Fabrics. I hope to see those spring flowers outside soon 🙂

I’m a Maker Fabric by Art Gallery Fabrics

This simple gray and white fabric is perfect for makers! I love all of the sayings on this fabric: Start somewhere, Just keep making, Creativity rules, I’m a maker, Only you can make it happen, Fall in love with as many things as possible, Handmade with love, etc.

This fabric would make a great bag to tote around craft supplies and tools. Would you like to see this design in a larger tote?

Wine Bags?

IMG_20180302_0002

I came across this fabric the other day with funny wine sayings on it. “I make wine disappear, what’s your superpower?”, “Wine makes me awesome”, “Wine a little, you’ll feel better”, “Wine, aerobics and repeat”, “My doctor says I need glasses”.

It got me thinking about a new product line: wine bags! I started working on the design of the bag.  How to place the handles, how much of the wine bottle should be covered, how long the handles should be, possibly adding a pocket for a corkscrew. It’s coming along. I hope to have a bag ready in the coming weeks.

What do you think? What kind of fabric designs would you like to see on a wine bag? Do you like wine related designs- grapes, wine bottles, wine glasses? Do you like holiday themes? Pretty florals? Comment below!
