    Oh that's so cute!! I might have to make custom business card holder for mine since they're square and don't exactly fit in my current wallet.

    I actually just did a post on them. Found them on Etsy!

    First of all- you've got an awesome Mom! :) Secondly... does she wanna share a pattern for that? Lol! I'd love to make one! If I try w/out a pattern I'm liable to screw it up. :(

    How Cute is that?!?! I actually just stole one of my husbands business card holders today (he has about 4). They all have his initals, but I figure they're close enough to mine. WHen I get time I think I may try to make one of these to have a more stylish way to carry my business cards for my new business. If I ever find your fabric on sale at JCaroline, I want to get some to offer for my clutches. Check it out. http://www.grabngobaby.com (constantly a work in progress)

  35. Grandma GAugust 13, 2009 at 10:03 PM

    Thank you, everyone!! Except for the person who called me "ma". Don't EVER call me "ma". Makes me feel like a 60-yr.-old farm wife or something. Okay, so that's what I am... but I'd rather feel like a youngish mom of a terrific designer. ;-) (No offense taken, stance.)

    Well, Boss... whaddya say? Do I whip up some of these for the Etsy shop? I think so. If anyone has a fabric preference (Jessica Jones fabrics, of course), they can email me via the address in the shop announcements. (Top of the page under "CUSTOM REQUESTS".)

    As for the pattern requests, I'll think about it.....

    I just discovered your blog yesterday, and I have to tell you that I love it. I've spent the last 2+ hours reading back through old posts. All of your links and craft ideas are great. Love your style! Keep things coming in the Etsy shop. I'll definitely be ordering.

    Why Jess, how did YOU know?

    Making more is in the plan for today. But speaking of snaps, I have to see if the new ones I bought on Wed. will work with my snap-putter-inner. If not, we may be in trouble, because I don't have quick access to many notions out here in the boonies.

    My eyes teared when I read your 'business card pouch post'! I receive postal bags from my mum all the way from Sweden with loving little treats. It means the world to me.

    Your mum is very clever. You should ask her to make a few more and sell them via your site. I'd buy one for sure!!

    Thanks for a lovely blog!
