Our last day of the Tammy Blog with RBD and Corrado Cutlery as our sponsors...

I sooooo enjoyed seeing how you all made the Tammy your own..

Some of you even gave her a new name. How could we possibly forget Dorothy...

However Mara said this was the first time ever, she did not change a pattern..

So I suppose giving her a new name is a perfect addition....wink...

YOU are at the end of this hop...
so  I am likely your last visit...
We will chalk this up as another successful hop
big thanks to all those who participated and all those who cheered us on..

Thank you...
YOU are KIND
YOU are SMART
YOU are IMPORTANT

Here are the lovely creators I share my day with....
did you note that other lady is here on the same day..
Yep I did that ! wink...

Mdm Samm ( me)

Yep and here is what I created....

This is what started it all. The Original TAMMY( pattern here). All I wanted

was a project bag that would hold my scissors on my side table

where I do a lot of my stitching at night....

and my oh my have I been stitching....

The above piece is called Savannah and it is all cross stitch...

So this Tammy Bag holds all of  my necessary tools 

to stitch this over the summer! 

Remember getting prizes out of those gum ball machines?

Well I put my Presencia threads in them, I call them My Thread Keepers...

Each colour holds a different Presencia thread....My DH drilled a hole

in each one so I can just pull out my threads as needed...

And of course I have a tin of PINS, my 1/4 inch ruler from

a sweet lady and her store.....Of course all of my DOVO Scissors ( the very

best sharp scissors I can find, they are soooooo worth it...we have a couple 

to giveaway by the way)

See those wee plastic things on your far right....These are from GUM,

they are containers from my Gum soft Picks , these I place my needles

in them . Colonial Needle, Thimbleneedles, John James...

Ohhh I made another....

Welll I just could not stop at one...although I was happy to show just my original bag......

Then I heard that other lady...you know her....She was making 2....

I needed a cosmetic bag anyway...so I chose this gorgeous aqua/turquoise

from RBD gingham collection. Added some ruffles and interior

in RBD's laminate..thought it would keep it so much cleaner...

and VOILA my NUMERO DEUX ( 2) 

Here is what you will find in my cosmetic kit...

Some very decent blush brushes, a lipstick brush, MAC lipstick,

Lip Pencil from Mac as well, some cover girl very soft beige

for my foundation, some Annabelle blush, which is derm tested,

Love my big lash Mascara from L'Oreal, ( french company)

My France Laure Vit C skin cream, some Palmers Oil, great

oil for at night....just one wee squirt, that is all...

Also included is my shadows for eyebrow and eyelids in gorgeous

earth colours...and a cannot live without lift comb....

That is it....I bet you are disappointed...thought I would have a lot more...

...I love basics, and that is all 

I have ever worn....Except for Lipstick, that has always been my 

biggest splurge..love MAC! 

Ohhhh by golly you can almost guarantee while I was on my photo shoot I had some company...

Ohhh didn't I tell you I made 3.....Ok, not as many as our remarkable Rosemary who made 5

for her daughters bridesmaids...but 3 from me, with what has been going

on behind the scenes....welllll it is a miracle?

NOOOO really, I heard that other lady only made 2 wink...

So I made this one....all cross stitched...love it..and with the remnants

of material from Its For the Birds quilt...voila...

my vitamin and minerals Tammy Bag...

So I have my baby aspirin, black cohosh, st johns wort and some varech iodine..

let's just say they keep me healthier....wink...

In actual fact I made this bag for someone very special..

It will be shipped in the morning..

She can put what ever she wants in it...

This is what is on the bottom and the back of the bag has a pocket and ruffle..

will try to get that pic up later...

OUR top 2 today are...

SHE DID ON PURPOSE.....she chose my fabric colours...

that other lady is sooooo darn competitve

I tried to look away, but really, look at these photos..

and she has great things to put in her Tammy Bag..

Don't you just love her tin with magnet, brilliant,    or 

delightful notions....lol

This brought music to my morning...

Great fabrics,  great photo..

great lady who created it...

Ohhh look, she even has pockets....pockets.....

she did not forget them lol

LOOK below for Rosemary's post...( everything was scheduled for midnight, but it did not post..sorry for the delays, thanks to a few of you, who let me know)

Summer seems to be taking its time to get here, perhaps a splash of gingham 

here and there will bring whispers of sunshine and hours of stitching inspiration.

This Tammy Bag ( pattern here)will no doubt inspire you- we have a line up

of over 50 creators who will be doing their OWN thing with this pattern

and showing you what they have poured into it...

Look who is up today...

Cheer them on, they continue to be the inspiration 

of our Blog HOPS- without them, well we just would not exist!

And with Gingham being soooo much the fabric of my inspiration this year...

I called upon Riley Blake Designs who of course is leading in the GINGHAM fever..

They have 3 gorgeous bundles of Gingham fabric for 3 winners at the end of our 

blog hop. I also called upon Jim at Corrado Cutlery who happens to have 

DOVO Scissors. I have 2 pairs and I cannot imagine sewing or quilting without them.

In fact they were the inspiration behind me designing this TAMMY BAG. I wanted

to have them in a place I could always find them, hence the pockets on the outside

of this bag.   If you have never used DOVO scissors can I say they are possibly the BEST

scissors I have ever owned. By now you all know I never ever talk about anything I don't believe

in 100%. So thanks to Jim, we have 2 pairs to giveaway in addition to our Gingham bundles

from RBD. 

How can you win? Be a great cheerleader! Leave comments with our ladies

Monday June 17th Greetings again from the Asylum. Rosemary B here!!

It is my day to share my Tammy Bags

First of all, this hop has been a joy for me. I cannot describe to you the happiness it brings to my heart 

to look at all of your adorable Tammy creations.   

I want to Thank Madame Samm for hosting the results of my Tammy Bag Aptitude today. I am honored to be here.

Also a generous thank you to Riley Blake Designs for sponsoring this hop with their Gingham Love line.  

And thank you to Dovo Scissors from Carrado Cutlery for their sponsorship as well.

These are great products that I have placed on my wish list. 

I have been busy doing 14 thousand things. Mom is still rehabbing from her stroke and we are in the process of moving my parents here!

That means Home Healthcare and "equipment"…. My credit card is melting haha

And we are also planning a wedding for November. Yes yes my little tiniest baby Elizabeth is getting married.

I made my Tammy Bags for the bridesmaids. I will let Lizzie pick who gets which Tammy bag but they do each have their own personality.

I am sorry I did not fill them all the way up with amazing attractive items…. just sorry, okay? lol

Cute Tammy Bag #1 "I Love Chocolate" I need chocolate to function…. and cookies

#2  Cute Tammy Bag  "Hemostat Style"
Well, at least the stitching sort of matches.

#3 Tammy Bag  my mom's favorite in "Delft Blue" Adorab-bbb- huh? 

#4 Cutie Tammy Bag:  "Teatime with a flashback"

 Do you know what is amusing? I must have been having the same 

fabric allure that I had with the cutie coin purses… 

look what I found! ::gasp:: LOL

This is goodness golly gosh freaky. I just love this Moda Trade Winds collection, - and what a collection I have indeed.

and cuteness #5 "Make up" This one is my favorite and my mom made that little lace doily laying on the stone, about 12 years ago. For ME.  

 I hope you are enjoying this hop as much as I am. 

As soon as I get my parents all settled in this Summer, I think I can get my old life back, right?  

--- oh! the wedding.

Yeah, well, after the wedding.

I love all of you SEW MUCH, Rosemary B

Here are the other lovely ladies I am sharing this day with.

Every day is like Christmas morning with a beautiful surprise of massive creativity

Top 2 of the day
( apologies for being tardy..here now)

What can we say, we are just in love with GINGHAM, and PINK no less

is this not lovely against some summer florals....just like a summer's day..

and she filled hers up with sewing notions...but if you peak

over her blog you will also note it is filled with sweets...

well it once was wink...

This lady knows how to create beautiful shots....sitting by a bail of hay with all its gorgeous

yarns spilling out, you have to admit makes for a delightful shot...

Her Tammy bag is gorgeous....

and will you look at all that she put into it...wow.!....

told you it is a large project bag....

her other photos are simply delightful!

And most CREATIVE....
From Tammy to DOROTHY....

OHhhhh truly most creative of the day...her Dorothy seems soooo appropriate..

look at those shoes...and her handle....absolutely stunning...

Don't you just love her photos....looks like she may have lost her DOROTHY

for the moment...beautiful work my dear...brings suchhhhh smiles today.

( children and pets in photos always win our hearts)
