No pictures yet...wandering textile mind

So I realized since the camera was MIA for the salon opening I didn't take many pictures of my latest works...and now that I have I can't gather the coordination to get them on my computer.
I have been enjoying making my 'own fabric'. I recently finished weaving a great strip of tweed....that in fact I didn't even photograph. I just turned it into a delightful love filled pillow for our dear double date Valentine company...and I quote, "it's like an heirloom". I'm thoroughly enjoying exploring more methods of fabricating my ideas. 
I've also made a special someone a pouch to carry their epi pen. Play safe and look good, right? Layers of swirly freehand stitches on pink jersey to make a one of a kind fabric. I'll post pictures later. 
Dog bed in bright red faux suede..."momo" enjoyed the photo shoot...pictures to come.
Custom order of gift tags for a friendly jewelery designer I know...pictures to come.
And this week I am going to raid Grandma's closets...the date is set. Can't wait. Here I come Wednesday!
My husband is getting nervous about my passion for collecting. My cupboards are starting to overflow. How to free up your space and fill someone elses: Make a great pillow cover and stuff it with unwanted goods, stitch it up and give it away! 
My posts have no flow. Oh, the delicate balance of getting the dishes done, entertaining a toddler on your lap as you sew, grasping at a social life, and making dinner. 
Next project: completing the ones I've started. Moses Bed in Red, Gift Tags, more pillows commissioned?
