WELCOME TO PECHANGA'S CLOSET

WELCOME TO MY BLOGGER PAGE FOR PECHANGA'S CLOSET

I WANTED TO SHARE BY FUN FLUFF FILLED FRIENDS I CALL CRAFTIES WITH EVERYONE SO THEY CAN ENJOY THEM AS MUCH AS I DO. THIS WILL BE A YEAR OF LEARNING AND EXPERIMENTING WITH ME AS I GET MY BUSINESS OFF THE GROUND.

A BRIEF SYNOPSIS:

WHEN I WAS 4 YEARS OLD, MY MOM TAUGHT ME TO SEW. I HAVE DABBLED WITH IT OVER THE YEARS, BUT NEVER FORGOT THE TECHNIQUES SHE TAUGHT ME. HER TEACHINGS ALONG WITH MY VIBRANT IMAGINATION ARE WHAT PECHANGA'S CLOSET CRAFTIES ARE ALL ABOUT. MY CRAFTY CREATIONS ARE UNIQUE IN EVERY WAY. EACH ONE THAT I MAKE GIVES ME A SMILE AND A GIGGLE OF ENJOYMENT AS I LOOK AT EACH ONE I FINISH...

"STITCHED WITH LOVE , THEN FILLED WITH FLUFF & FUN!!!"

ALL OF MY CREATIONS ARE ONE OF A KIND. YOU WILL NEVER FIND THEM ANYWHERE ELSE. I MAKE MY OWN PATTERNS AND MATCH MY OWN FABRIC TO MAKE THE MOST UNIQUE CREATIONS. IT'S WHAT I FEEL AT THE MOMENT.

SO ENJOY & WELCOME TO MY CRAZY CRAFTY WORLD.

PECHANGA'S CLOSET IF MY CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS BLENDED WITH MY JOY OF SEWING.

DAY 169 MONKEYS MONKEYS MONKEYS

Halloween is over but I still have orders for more Day of the Dead Sock Monkeys.  


Working on two right now and another one tomorrow to send to my brother for his B-day.


Who would have thought that a Sock Monkey sewn as a skeleton would be so popular.  


Back to work.  My little fingers are sewing as fast at they can.

DAY 166 HALLOWEEN BOUTIQUE

Tonight was a last minute boutique.  It was outstanding.  Sorry to my Brother.  I made a new sock monkey for my Brother's birthday, but did not have time to make anything else.  So I took the monkey with me to this boutique, and as fast as I put it on the table is as fast as it SOLD.


This weekend..... I'll be making a new Sock Monkey for the Older Bro.

This is the Boutique time of Year, and I have never been busier.  Last year I only had three boutiques.  This year already I've had 10 and have 5 more to go.  Tomorrow night is my final one before Halloween.  Then on to Christmas Boutiques.

DAY 157 BOUTIQUE UPDATE

El Dorado Holiday Boutique was a huge success.  This was my best boutique ever... well since I've only been doing the boutiques since last season, this one tops them all.


It started as a drizzly wet cold morning.  Driving all the way to Placentia, all I had was a wet windshield.  It felt a lot like Seattle.  Thank goodness when I got there, the Football team was waiting to help unload and carry.  


About 10 a.m. the drizzley drizzle stopped.  The flow of people went on throughout the entire day, all the way up to 4:00 when it ended.  


I am definitely doing this one next year.

DAY 153 NEW CRAFTIES

This weekend is a big big big Boutique.  Over 250 vendors.  OMG... I'm sure to make zero profit... because I'll be spendin' all my $$$$. 


My weakness is boutiques, estate sales, yard sales,, etc.  The only thing that will save me is if I am so busy, I can't get away from my booth.  


Just finished another bat and a platypus.  Tomorrow I need to finish a monkey.  Don't think in my schedule, I can finish more than that,if I can even finish that.   


I will post picture of Bat and Platypus tomorrow.

DAY 152 LIFE SIZE JEAN OWLIE

I was at the Thrift store and found a great pair of Gap little girls embroidered jeans.  I couldn't resist buying them with some kind of Crafty in mind.  


After thinking hard, it was obvious to me that I would be making an Owlie... a Life Size Owlie.  


I used the pockets as the wings and the belt loops for the ears.  I was careful to make the embroidered part of the jeans a major part of the Owlie's Back.  This Jeanie Owlie is sure to make someone happy.

DAY 144 SOME FUN HALLOWEEN CRAFTIES

I've been working hard on some Halloween Crafties.  I just love love love this time of year.  It's my favorite.  


We have some rain, so I'm holding off on putting up my spider webs and decorations on my porch.  It's driving me crazy not to get all my fun scary things up. So,instead, I'll focus on my sewing.

DAY 143 JETHRO PIGGIE

Jethro Piggie built his house of Straw....  


This is one of the many piggies I have made.  They sell as fast as I can put them on the table.  Piggies are one of my son's favorite of all my crafties.  His idea is for me to make a Scientist Piggie & a Mafia Boss Piggie.  Where does he come up with these things...???  LOL
