Reversible DSLR Strap Cover

Got the itch to do some more creative sewing for the Fall/Holiday season. Look for a few more of these reversible strap covers soon to be in my Etsy shop. This one sold immediately so not available right now. Will have another up and ready for purchase in a few days.  The reversibles have a double lining of padded fusible fleece for a soft feel without too bulk bulk. Purchase a lens bag to match or coordinate for a set sure to please.     Price of the reversible $16.00. 

A Blast from the Past

Click on the above photo to see enlarged view of lots of my ideas put to fruition. 

O my! Going through my photo files I found lots of pics of the fun things I've made over the last few years. Sometimes I feel like I have a variety store in my head. I want to make everything I think of !

Part of having an intense creative personality is always being aware that your mind is in over-drive constantly thinking of new projects and ideas that come and go into ones head like a movie on fast forward. I'll be thinking of a new design or fabrics I'd like to use and must then take a few quick notes as the next idea or image is waiting to over shadow what I have not yet processed from the previous idea!  I often times wake at 3 AM (the witching hour)  and can't go back to sleep until I get out of bed to walk around a bit and clear my head of the creative noise.

Sometimes in order for me to fall back asleep I think of a favorite imagined place of peace and meditation:. It's a white sand beach under a cloudless, lapus lazuli, deep blue sky at dusk. The sand is pure white, void of shells and there are no people anywhere in sight. The beach is a long endless expanse that beckons me to walk towards the end of nowhere. Walking along and listening to the silent, noiseless nothingness of solitude I am at peace. The warm breeze feels soothing and tiny bits of sand blow around my feet tickling my toes and bare feet, enticing me to dig my toes in deeper to the warm dry sand.... Before I know it the sunrise morning time to wake has arrived. A new day of creativity awaits for me to discover.

Well, it is a simple medication, but it does work to clear my head so I can sleep. This and the "white" noise of the ceiling fan are the BEST sleep inducers for my over worked hyper creative brain. Hope you enjoyed looking at some of  my favorite things I've made over the last few years.

DSLR Camera Lens Cap Pocket

Add this expandable pocket to most of the neck strap sleeves offered in my Tracy Joy Etsy shop.

Have been trying to adapt my standard size pocket so that it will fit even the largest lens caps has been trial and error for a few months, and keeping my creative thinking cap on at all times has allowed new ideas pop into my head at oddest times! Several days ago I awoke at around 3:30 AM and all I had on my mind was work! Got up and made a sketch and figured a way to attach a larger pocket to my standard 2.5" wide sleeve. Voila! Here it is!

Available for additional $3.50 to your strap cover purchase.

Before you purchase a strap cover contact me to make sure that fabric is still available in your pattern. Otherwise I have a great quality twill in basic black by Michael Miller.

Black and White Camera Strap Covers are the WOW!

I really love to work with black and white.

These basic strap covers are priced at $12 with ultra soft Minky faux fur plush backing for smooth comfort against you neck.  A lens pockets add on is additional $3.00

NEW Fabrics for Summer

Michael Miller's "Lagoon Hoopla Dot"

Went on a little fabric Shopping Spree! Bought 4 new patterns. I like to use quality designer cotton prints and the majority of my shop items are from the most popular fabric designers such as Michael Miller, Robert Kaufman, Amy Butler and Alexander Henry. Occasionally I'l see a generic print that strikes my fancy and add it to the lot. Can't wait to create with these new prints!
