Make a house Inspiration

Ginger bread house parts year 2005, originally uploaded by Vakuoli.

Seeing this picture on Flickr gave me all kinds of ideas as far as planning out my design for a fabric house.

I think sketching out my design on paper would be helpful before I start embellishing.

This photo is great inspiration.

Swap-bot Houses Swap

Hello, fellow swappers, I plan to post more pictures like the one shown here to give everyone ideas of what to buy and inspirations on things to make your swap partners.

I found this cute little zipper pouch at http://whatsewever.etsy.com/. It is made with the cutest japanese fabric and it is only 6 bucks. You can find many house related items on the Etsy site. It is always great to buy homemade. Let's make this swap fun and look out for more House themed swaps.

This swap is international and December 19,2007 is the last day to sign up. Check back later for more inspiration and other swaps I am hosting on Swap-bot.

I'd like that in all ones please.

Hello and welcome to my very first post here at 'all ones.' You maybe wondering what this is all about. Here is a tidbit of information for you as to why this blog is called all ones.
My grandma liked cash and when I started working I would give her a gift of money from time to time and she liked crisp one dollar bills. So I would give her ten and sometimes twenty crisp dollar bills fresh from the bank teller and placed in an envelope. She liked the feel of the paper and she would flick the bills in her fingers so that they would snap. It was a funny sight for me and I recall these memories fondly, as she is not with us anymore.

I brainstormed many ideas while sitting in my kitchen to find a name for my online dollar store and I came up with many like "100 Yen," "Dolce Dollar," and "One Dollar Please." None of these names fit me well enough although I was very close to calling my store "100 Yen." I like shopping in dollar stores and I have experienced many so I should know what a good one is comprised of. And I must say I do, so keep a look out for my store on the etsy.com site. The url is http://allones.etsy.com/.

Come by and shop for a bit. Remember it's only a dollar!
