Completed Purses



I finally completed and mailed off the purses I made for a facebook friend and her coworker. I hope they like them.



The pink one has a front pocket added and blue one has side pockets for keys, cell phone, etc.
I also added buttons and a corded loop to these for a closure. I have seen several people mention that they use hair ties for the loop. I think I will try that soon. I have several pieces of cording that I got for free from a Clover booth at a quilt show, so I will continue to use that for awhile. I can't think what else to do with it.
Today I am going to start working on some Lickety Split Bags. The pattern is from Made by Rae. They are a cute reversible bag with pockets. Will post pictures soon.
Until then, Have a Happy Creative Day!

Purse Giveaway

I just signed up for a great purse giveaway at http://amiejdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/07/july-bag-giveaway.html. She has a great blog so be sure and check it out.

Two new purse orders

I have gotten two new purse orders. Very exciting! Again, they want them customized to fit their needs. So another adventure in adapting patterns. It is a great way to learn how to do new things and to also be aware of what customers want in a handbag. One only wants a front pocket added, so that will be easy enough. The other wants pockets added to each end and that may be a little trickier. I will show pictures of the results soon.

We just got back from 4 days of camping. We had alot of fun and some good relaxing. Did you know that campgrounds now have wireless? Who Knew? I used a little sitting around time to learn how to post photos on flickr and put them into posts. Hopefully it will make it easier to upload photos one time and then be able to post them in many places.

I hope to have items for sale in the Etsy shop within the next few days.

Have a great creative week!
