Watermelon!

There's something about summer that just begs for a more relaxed outlook. Both on life & fashion. Must be the heat (and if you're in NJ like me, the humidity!) In the summer, it's expected that your wardrobe will be a little more "fun." 

To me, nothing screams summer fun more than watermelon.  Pink watermelon! Ripe watermelon! I love it all!! 

I've been a little obsessed lately...watermelon purses, watermelon key fobs, even a watermelon bracelet. Care to see how far my obsession goes? Here's a peek into some of the new items listed in my Etsy shop.

Felted key fobs inspired by a pattern by KnotSewCute.
Beaded bracelet and key chain (top & bottom) are my own design.

Yup. Just a little obsessed. 

If you're looking to add a little fun to your wardrobe, there's still time. The watermelon purses, especially, makes a fab gift for someone with a summer birthday. The key chains and bracelet make terrific favors too. I am currently accepting orders for bracelets and key chains for late-July and August parties, showers and weddings. Just email me at cherishablesnj@gmail.com.

What about you? What are you crafting this summer? 

Happy crafting!

Watermelon Purses

Watermelon! Who doesn't love watermelon? The juicy, sweet, yummy goodness. Nothing is better than eating one, but this comes pretty close.
Pattern by pomquat.etsy.com.

Don't you just want to bite one?

Watermelon totes for summer. How fun!

I have one of each ready to go -- the ripe watermelon tote in the top pictures and the more traditional softer pink tote shown on the bottom. OOAK -- each is handcrafted from 100% wool and felted. They are very sturdy and roomy. You could even use it as commuter bag. Another advantage is wool is water-repellent, so those fast-moving summer storms that seem to pop out of nowhere? No problem! The water rolls right off these purses.

So, what's your favorite?

Happy crafting!
