I've Got Sunshine...

.... on a cloudy day.

Here's another Sydney Handbag. Named - you guessed it... Sunshine! Gorgeous in yellow silk with a complimentary handcut, hand sewn flower, using the same yellow silk and a striped yellow with green, red and cream accents. The centre of the flower has a pearlized round button to finish it off.

Mocha Stripe!

I just finished this new Sydney Handbag - Mocha Stripe. Stay tuned, there are more on the way.

Check'n In

I haven't been able to post for awhile. So much has been going on and I just haven't had time to post anything, but I thought I would check in quickly just to say hello and let you know I am still alive and kick'n... and busy sew, sew, sewing! Hopefully, when I get a longer minute (is that possible?!) I will be able to get caught up on some of the things that have been going on, but for now here is just a little eye candy to keep you going.

More Sydney Handbags! It has been an assembly line here making these fun little bags. I am really enjoying sitting here on the floor (literally), going through all the fabric and picking out the fabric combinations and putting things together. It's great too that I am using up some of this fabric, no matter how small the dent.

I've also been making a stock pile of scarves in black, chocolate brown and yellow. These scarves are sooo buttery soft.

Delicious

At of course the last minute, Sweetpea came to me yesterday and asked if I could make sometime for her teacher.... shoulders drop, exhale out... "what did you have in mind?"

"A purse?"

"What kind of purse? How about a Sydney Handbag?" ( I was in the mindst of making one, so what was another :P )

"Yeah! She will love that!"

OK, I will do my best to get one done.













... lucky teacher! Gorgeous, if I do say so myself. It was hard giving it up.

This is the one I was working on before I got asked to make the above.

The pink silk is really gorgeous.











Then after Sweetpea made her request, Sunshine of course chimmed in and asked "could you make my teacher a purse too, mommy?" Shoulders slump further and exhale a little more. I was going to try, but time just didn't permit so her teacher got a yummy Lavender Drawer Liner. Sunshine was happy.

I was Featured

I went on etsy a little while ago and found that my Sydney Handbag - Fushia Peony was featured on the front page in a treasury. I was so surprised and honoured that someone found my work and actually liked it enough to showcase it. Good timing too. I was feeling a bit hopeless with my shop there lately. This just brightened my day. I am only there til 8.07p.m. tonight, so please go take a look see before my time expires. I am in a group of wonderful peonies Thank you so much frommuddywater for featuring me. She makes some cool barretts out of light bright pegs.
