Last night I pre-purchased my ticket to see New Moon, and I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to see the newest installment in the Twilight Saga.
I've been perusing Etsy for all things Twilight lately - here are a few of my favorites!
ESME - Coiled Black Rose Satin Headband
by bethanylorelle

I'm on a headband kick. I've never been much for dressing up my hair, but the romantic in me is coming out this season and this satin rose is the perfect accessory to nearly any outfit I own.

BELLA'S BAG
by stitchandswash

This bag was actually used in the Twilight movie! You can read all about it by clicking on the artist's name at the top. How amazingly awesome would it be to have something you made in a movie? Bags like this make me wish I had a sewing machine that worked with leather!

Rosalie's Red Flower Ring
by TwilighterVA

I don't own a lot of jewelry. I don't even wear my own wedding ring (blame the baby weight!). But how could I possible resist this charming blossom? I'm a sucker for red gems and this one fits my style to a T.





I would love to see your own creations that are Twilight inspired or themed! Just send your images to me at closebj@shaw.ca and tell me all about it! I'll feature a few here just before the release of New Moon - so that we can all enjoy a little more of Meyer's fantasy world!

Jennie's Bag

This design is becoming very popular! This bag was made for Jennie - the first person I ever made a bag for! She saw the black and white fabric and loved it. Here it is - all finished! Photographs are courtesy of Chelsey Roberts Photography - you can click on her link to the right!

Time For A Change

As of October 1st, I am no longer a working mom. I have some mixed feelings about this - I really did like getting a paycheck every two weeks.

However, I am also going to be spending more time on BBP. I've been so busy with work this past month that I've fallen behind on my projects. I'm looking forward to getting caught up and putting more time into cultivating my dream of working from home!

We Have A Winner!

30 days and 54 entries later - we have ourselves a winner! Last night, the hubby and I did the draw. 54 slips of paper from a plastic juice jug - it was all very official. Grey's Anatomy played in the background - I may have even teared up a little!

Let's see how the entries broke down. A few of you put in some big work and garnered several extra entries with your referrals - thank you for that! Our largest number of entries went to The Royal Family. It occured to me yesterday that I ought to do a bonus prize for the person with the most referrals. I just haven't come up with anything yet! I'll do a little consultation with my good friend Chelsey today and see what we can dream up for a bonus prize - Royal Family, I will be in touch later on today!

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for....our Grand Prize Winner is...

TANYA from Lethbridge, Alberta! This probably comes just in time as she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl just a week or so ago! Congrats Tanya! Her bag design and pictures will be posted here when they are complete! I just may have to hand deliver this one, as I really want to see the new addition to the family!
