Tis the season ...

To do nice things for nice people!! So I was talking to my very good friend a while ago and she told me she was still using stocking that she had when she was married ... bad Christmas Karma!! So I took it upon myself to rectify that situation and here is the result. Matching stockings for her and her son!!

Since she is not a green and red person I chose this lovely combination from Moda's "Figgy Pudding" line. I love this fabric and the non-traditional color combination is just so yummy!

This one is her's ...

And this one is for her son ...

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

It's that time of year again ...

My 3rd annual sale has arrived!



This year is bigger and better and I'm so excited! My very talented friend Janet is showcasing her art ... http://www.jbrightgallery.com/



My dad is sending me some wood bowls for you to oohhh and aahhh at.



I have been super busy sewing and building gorgeous and wonderful things for you. That's why there hasn't been anything new posted because I have been so busy creating!!



The sale will be 2 days this year and it is sure to shrink that shopping list ...







Any questions? email me at - tanya@sontza.com

Hope to see you all there!!

Tanya

Thank-you!

So I don't know if you have noticed but I have a lovely new picture up. My very talented friend Rhonda thought I needed a better picture so she took one!! We spent a very fun day on the river bank and she took tons of wonderful pictures of my daughter and me. This was one of my favorites from the day.

Actually my favorites were all of my daughter but I needed one of me for here! This was my fav!

Tell me what you think.

See you soon, Tanya

Summer is so busy ...

Hi to my visitors!

I just wanted to say I haven't forgotten you and while I am busy making lovely new things I just haven't managed to get them up on the site. I promise to rectify that situation soon!

Something very exciting also is I have finally opened my Etsy store! It's not very full yet but it's coming along. So soon you will be able to link from here or shop the Etsy store directly. Very exciting times for me! For now you can check the store at www.Sontza.etsy.com. I will be adding more and more things as I go along.

See you soon, Tanya

Kids need bags too!!!

So let me tell you a little story about my inspiration for this particular bag. I was heading to Costco one day with my daughter and she decided that she needed to take some crayons and a coloring book and a toy with her. So she grabbed a bag of crayons and a bag for her coloring book and another bag for her toy ... she apparently didn't have a bag big enough for everything! That's when I had my light bulb moment and the Crayon Tote was invented.

The tote has a band around the outside of the bag with individual pockets for storing all those crayons, pencils, paint brushes or whatever your little artist needs!! The inside is big enough for books and toys. The bags measure 10" x 14" ... not so big that they will overload it and you will end up carrying it and not so small that they won't be able to fit all their "necessities" inside!

The possibilities for fabric combinations are endless ... as are the awesome fabrics out there! A girl could lose her mind in a great fabric store ... here are some combinations I have available. If you have something else in mind please email ... tanya[@]sontza.com and we can discuss.

Park Pouches

As you all know by now I am a mom ... I have two kids who are 5 and 7 1/2. Most of our friends have kids about the same ages. We moms have noticed something ... there is a gap in the market! Everywhere you look there are diaper bags: cute ones, funky ones, ugly ones ... you get the picture. But what about those of us who are past needing a diaper bag? That's where Sontza's new line of textiles comes in!

Introducing the Park Pouch! Made for those moms who need a little bag to carry the essentials ... cell phone (in its own little protective pocket), keys and a lip gloss. It's the perfect size to slip on your wrist and head out to school pick-up or the park. There is even enough room inside to store your small camera to catch those awesome moments!!

Park Pouch - $25.00

To accompany the Park Pouch there is the Park Tote. This one is large enough for you to bring along the park essentials ... water bottles, sun screen and snacks!

Park Tote - $45.00

There is a handy little tab for attaching your Park Pouch to the outside so there is no more searching through the big tote for your cell phone when Daddy calls to see what time you are heading home!

Park Pouch and Park Tote combination - $60.00

Here are individual pictures of the Park Pouches for your enjoyment.

Like the colors of this batch? Keep your eyes peeled for the next wave ... pinks and oranges! Coming soon ...

Have any questions ... I am always available!

Spring is here !!!!!!!!!!

At least in my mind it is ... outside says something totally different! This was the view of my backyard this morning ...

Doesn't look much like spring does it? But I don't care what the weatherman or that silly groundhog says ... I want spring!!

So even if I can't magically make spring appear I can start to dream and think about what I will be wearing. And here are some of my ideas as to what would make spring lovely this year.

Picture this with a cute little floral skirt, t-shirt and a light cardigan. Dot is a 2" round hand turned wood disc hung on a sterling silver chain. Dot is available in Purpleheart (shown), Wenge, Cocobolo and Ebony.

Dot - 16" - $50.00

18" - $55.00

Or one of these with a pair of your skinny jeans and a ruffle top. Iris is a quartz briolette hung from a sterling silver chain.

Iris - 16" - $45.00

Iris - 18" - $50.00
Available in both lengths in Rose Quartz and Crystal Quartz.

Put those two together with a sweet summery dress for a touch of fun.

Don't forget the earring ...

Iris earring - $25.00

Or this one would look equally as sweet! Dahlia features Swavoski crystals beaded onto a sterling silver hoop.

Dahlia - $30.00

So are you ready for spring now??? As I sit at my window and watch our snow melt ... I sure am!!! Bring it on!!!

Thank you for your patience!!!

I am popping on to thank all of my loyal clients and friends for continuing to check my site for new and interesting things ... even if there haven't been any!!

But I am working on it!! I will have pictures of several new and so awesome items for spring soon! So keep checking back!

Happy - almost - spring everyone!
