lil' Whim-z Shoppe
Handmade 'Eco-friendly shopping bags', Christmas Stockings and Ornaments by Robin
Handmade gifts made with a Whim-z 'Twist'
My logo was designed by my son Miah. Inspired by Christmas stockings I made several years ago for the family from 'Grandma's antique quilt'. (see pic below)He's also the inspiration for me making more to sell.
'Whimsy' def: Fanciful, witty humor or fanciful, odd, playful disposition. I'd have to say that 'Whim-z' has always been my personal 'style', what I call my 'Twist'.
Enjoy what you see or what you purchased? Please leave a comment in my 'Guest Book'.

'GoGreen' Cloth Grocery Shopping Bags
My bags are approx. 14"x14", veryroomy, wide as a carton of eggs, can hold the weight of gallon of milk very easily. Sturdy handles on both sides, run the length of the bag for extra strength. Fabrics will vary.
I use fabric I've accumulated over the years from stores and church rummages. Some go back to the 70's. All quanties are limited for this reason. They are machine washable and "I really like mine!"

To show the width & depth: Carton of eggs easily fit, will hold 3 cartons of eggs comfortably. Or eggs & bread.

Cookie Cutter Gift tag/ Ornaments
These are my favorite to make....I trace 'Grandma's' vintage cookie cutters, on vintage wall paper (double thickness, pattern on both sides), cut them out by hand, then with permanent pens I embellish one side, the edges with faux stitching (with a straight stitch or blanket stitch) & faux buttons. Each has one real, color coordinated, vintage button with string for hanging. Can be used as ornaments or gift tags. They are unique! Click on Go Shopping! To order yours today. See the selection of colors below......these are the ONLY 12 sets I presently have & may not be making any more this year as I'm going to be working on my 'Stockings'.
'Sample picture' showing detail.......each set has approx. 20-25 different designs, no duplicates in any sets at this time. Can include the below & Santa, pinecone, bells, dove, angel, candlestick & smaller rocking horse not seen in the pic below.

"Funky" Scarves
I made these back in the 90's and thought I'd dig them out to sell. Scarves are 'American' Made and not your flimsy fabric. Each scarf has over 100 beads, front side & back side. Has been cut & sewed for a nice tie on each side.
