Few things I added to my shop!

Ne w...T o t e s

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....^_^....

..............h e a r t t o t e .........................

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 ^_^!

I wanted to keep up with my blog but it is definitely harder than it seems. I did not realize it has been over a month since my last post. I am happy to say that I accomplished some sewing! YAY! I made two totes similar to the patchwork heart totes but instead I made these totes using denim and canvas.

new handbag

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.

rosie music creates art as well as these cute handbags in her etsy shop. The colors and shape of her bags along with her cute teapot appliqués are reminiscent of vintage airline bags. Maybe that's just me...but I do love them!

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...

Etsy Find

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.

Handbags

Since I have a small break, I started to sew again. I made some handbags. The thing I hate the most is cutting fabric. Only if I could pay someone to do it for me...:P The joy of actually making your own, from start to finish is reward in itself. A sense of pride of what I have actually accomplished. But geez, it seems like it takes so long to finish a project.
