"I had to tell her I made it because she thought it was store-bought which is as much testament to your clear instructions as to my craftsmanship." I can't tell you how wonderful that is to hear. And photos are always a special surprise. It's not only a "phew" moment (phew, she likes it!), but a "wow" moment, too (wow, look what she made with my pattern!). Thank you, Sarah, for such a lovely gift :).

Kind words and fun photos for the Inside Out Bag
What a treat to get fan mail...well, ok, it was just a very nice email from one of my oh-so-creative customers. She wrote, "...it's a great pattern. I made my mom the larger version with
Harry Potter fabric for her birthday and she loved it.

Great Purse Organizer collaboration!
Sabina is a self-proclaimed "beginner at sewing", but this looks more like a professional! She's taken my Purse Organizer pattern, added loops, and reconfigured the pockets. Great job, Sabina!

FABulous Hat!
Debbie made a totally fabulous hat with my Headhugger pattern. Her colors are gorgeous and the embellishment, her own design, adds the perfect sparkle. She also sells her creations here.
I always love to see what you all do with your creativeness. So much fun!

What are you making?
photo by Suebee's World 2014
Here's a two-fer: a photo of what Sue did with my Purse Organizer pattern AND a link to her blog "Suebee's World". It's a great blog with a LOT of info and great pics. Go check it out.
But I should have said, here's a three-fer because here is a photo from Christi, too.
Thanks for sending in your photos. It is a lot of fun to see what happened after my pattern goes out into the world :).

It's a treasure to be treasuried (Etsy treasury, that is!)
Kitty016 has been kind enough to include me in her treasury and I just love the shops that she's found. It's worth a look-see-click :)! (One of these days I'll learn the secret to copying the treasury in a smaller format...errrr)

Margery's Place, uh, Purse!
Margery recently bought the "A Place For Everything" purse pattern and sent the photo, above, of her finished purse (well, actually, it's for her daughter). I love it! She wrote me, "You can just see I added a magnetic catch - I'd never used one before but it was easy - I put two extra layers of fabric behind each part to give some firmness. Isn't the lining a perfect colour match? I was going to use a light colour (it's always dark inside handbags) but I found this in my local patchwork shop and loved it." It really is fun to see what people have done with my patterns. Thanks so much for sending the photo, Margery :).

"Home" Stats
Recently, I published a post of Where In The World I had shipped my purses, organizers, hats, felted pieces and sewing patterns. While I was at it, I figured out where 'at home' I had shipped. So here are some little known (ok, totally unknown until now) fun facts...at least for me:
- Sweetbriar Studio has shipped to 45 of the 50 states.
- My birth state, Pennsylvania, has 27 of my creations.
- Colorado has 7.
- Japan, well, I guess I haven't shipped there...yet!
- Maryland has 12.
- Virginia has 15.
- California has 48 (yep, they're number One in the world so far).
- and I've shipped 15 to good ol' North Carolina.

Where in the World...?
One of the very fun things about having a shop on Etsy is that I get to 'meet' people from all over the world. Just for grins, I recently figured out where in the world my oh-so-nice customers are enjoying my creations. Drumroll please! I have shipped:
29 to Canada
13 to Australia
8 to the UK
5 to Brazil
5 to Germany
4 to Malaysia
4 to Singapore
3 to France
3 to Norway
1 each to Austria, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey
...an all the rest to the US...
for a total of 550 orders to 21 countries in all. Fun! If I can't be a world traveler, I'm glad I can travel vicariously through my creative goodies :). Thank you World!
