I hope I am not making anyone sick of looking at scallop things. My obsession with this is going to stop soon. ^_^ Just one more thing...I am making a clutch with scallops...I am mixing vintage fabric with some new. I will post pictures soon.
Coinpurses that I have been working on. I made more with more lively color scheme but no pictures as of yet. We have a fish bowl with a orange goldfish and this is where the idea kind of came about. The shape of the fish bowl led to the shape of coinpurse and the scallops representing water. I love scallops.
I had the pleasure of meeting Leanne through Etsy. She designs fun and colorful textile prints. I absolutely love the print with the campers! I made her a tote using her lovely print. With the what little extra fabric I had left over, I made her a matching pouch to go with it. If you can guess, it's the middle part of the tote that has been cut out. You can check out her shop here
I have been working on some bags and I finally got the chance to finish them. The process from completing the bags, to getting the photos taken takes a really long time. I usually make my patterns, cut, and sew at night. After my girls have fallen asleep. Then when I finally get the bags done...it takes me another day or so for the photo shoot and editing. The television is definitely a distraction...I hope you like my new totes....^_^....
At first I made this bag without the heart appliqués but then when I finished them, I thought they looked tooo plain. As you can probably tell by now, I have a thing for hearts...so I added some heart appliqués. I am much happier with the final look ^_^!
Yay! I just finished another handbag. I am really happy on how this bag turned out. The handle part of the bag was a lot more trickier than I thought it would be but I was patient and actually learned a thing or two with sewing curves.

Today has been a productive day for me. I was able to clean the house, finish up some bags, and take some photos of the bags. I had a few more ideas for some new bags so I sat down...took a breather and drew away ^_^... Started on a new pattern for a bag. I wish I could have more days like these...
I love looking at all the talented crafters on Etsy. While looking around I found a really cute shop with handbags, pillows, stationary, and plushies. I absolutely love everything in her shop, *Cuore*. You can find her here on Etsy.
I am a full time mommy with 2 girls, a toddler and my new baby. I would love to have my own studio one day so that I can have a place to work and show off my stuff.
wishful thinking...
