Auction 20 - Pink Embroidered Pouch

Ok.  Deep breath.  This one gives me pause.  I really love it.  I spent many happy hours chosing the perfect combination of pink Japanese prints and exact right colours of embroidery floss to show off the fancy decorative stitches - most of which I'd never done before.  I used only my most favourite fabrics, inside and out.  I used silk batting and I hand quilted it.  I even hand-stitched the zipper - something I NEVER do.  It measures 4 3/4" x 6".

I love looking at it.  I'm quite proud of how nicely it turned out.  Sometimes I think, "Did I really make this?" and other times I think, "Yeah, I made this!" 

But.  I don't think I will ever use it.  And all this letting go of stuff ... I'm finding it rather theraputic.

So. (Another deep breath.)

I'm letting go - again - and putting it up for auction.  I will be honest, I have a reserve amount in mind.  I won't tell you what it is, but I will let you know when that reserve has been met.

This auction ends July 7th at 6:00 pm MST.  Shipping is extra.  I'll send a PayPal invoice to the winning bidder.

Last deep breath. ;)

This is one of the most beautiful pieces you have ever made. I only wish I could bid, too. You have such an unbelievable talent for making precious, lovely things. You are truly blessed.

Oh, I absolutely adore this little pouch! I'll give it to my mom as a much cherished gift if I win. Thank you for sharing your scrumptiously beautiful creations with us! I bid $65.00

Your work is so sweet and lovely. I love the way you put your color choices together, you have a real talent!
Thank you for sharing, it very inspirational.

I can't help but wonder if you've thought to put little things like this aside for your someday grandchildren? It's something I think about, but my kids are in their twenties. I mention it because I treasure the hand crocheted bedspread, doilies, and apron my great grandmother made!

Wish I could bid, but I will drool, and be inspired to create something sweet on my own!

And it rests... this is why Kristyne's auctions are for those that appreciate her very fine eye for beautiful detail and her incredible craftsmanship. I also sew sweet creations (though none quite as lovely as hers!). I could probably copy what she's done here and make my own but I am grateful to bid a generous amount for Kristyne's lovely creations as a thank you to her for all her inspiration. Every time I go to her website, I'm inspired and/or get the equal of a deep breath of fresh air! Could I make something myself, yes, but I'd love to own a piece of her "pretty by hand" creations!! That makes it worth every penny. Thank you again Kristyne for sharing your lovely treasures with us :) Cassie

Your work is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Kristyne!!!

I just want to hold this and inspect every little detail you've described! Plus I have the perfect spot to display it in my new, soon-to-be decorated sewing room that will also serve as my just-born granddaughter's room when she visits. I bid $75.00.

[Denise]

I was wondering if you'd part with this one....LOVE it, and if wishes were money, it would be mine, all mine. At this time, I have more wishes than dollars, so I will not bid. However, whatever the reserve, it is wayyyyy worth it and then some. Good luck!

[Kathleen]

Oh my goodness, before I even read your words I actually had to take a deep breath! I am in awe of how beautiful this piece is and I can see why you would put a reserve on it. I have been following your auction every day, watching the bidding process. Your work is incomparable. If only I had disposable income . . . .

[Tammy Edwards]

This piece really is breath taking and very special. Your work is beautiful.
