Stick this pretty strawberry from a. bel studio full of your pins and needles - that's what it's for! It can also be used as a sachet. Each giant berry comes packaged in a strawberry basket, nestled in shred and tied with jute.

Hello there!  I'm Amanda Krueger, and this is A. Bel studio, a  little cottage industry I began in the Fall of 2006.  I've always been crafty by nature, and am self taught (with an enormous amount of help from my mother and grandmother, the craftiest gals I know!)  I'll work in any medium I can get my hands on, and my current obsession is sewing sweet accessories and gifts made from vintage and recycled fabric, buttons, and notions.  My style is a bit on the kitschy side, colorful and fun, always with a vintage flair and attention to detail.  Everything here is designed and crafted by me in a small studio I share with my husband, (fabric and ribbon on one side, records and turntables on the other!)   I live in balmy, coastal Virgina, just teetering on the edge of the South.   I share a cluttered and crafty home with my husband Mike,  our son Max, and an alley cat called Sydney.  When I'm not hunched over the  sewing machine,  you might find me puttering in our tiny garden, watching Top Model reruns on YouTube or whipping up the best apple pie this side of the Appalachians.
