They may not hang on the wall but I like to try to make every one of my bags a piece of art.One of a kind, original and well constructed.




I love to create and decorate.
Even if it's my sewing machine :o)

MY LOLA LOVES ME

My grandbaby's first birthday is nearly here. She grew up so fast.
So her Lola had to make her something handmade and extra special.

I had a special order from a good friend of mine.She custom ordered a pair of bags with dragons on them.The bags were a special surprise for her daughter and her daughters friend.The two are really into dragons and she wanted to have something special made for them.
Sometimes I get request that i just know are not my thing so I turn it away.
Other times I get excited to step outside of my boundaries and make something new.
If I really enjoy creating it and love the way the project turns out, I add it to my regular line of work.
I struggled a bit when I created these bags, only because I have never drawn a dragon before.But I really like the way they turned out.
This experience has inspired me to think up some new patterns.
I'll post some pics of my new work when it's complete.

Here is my NEWest design in my appliqued zippy bag line.
Seal Zippy :o)

I wanted to thank everyone who attended my open house this week.I had a really nice time.I was a bit stressed out the days prior to the event though.I think it happens every December.
Not only was I trying to get my home ready, I had a show the previous weekend.I also spent quite a bit of time in front of my sewing machine this past week getting a few special orders done.Cleaning,decorating and setting up my display were also on my to-do list.
It was well worth the effort.
I had a great turnout and a great time.I got to visit with my friends (you know who you are, I had a few of my wonderful customers come that I haven't seen since summer and I met a couple really nice people :o)
Thank You to all.
Not only to the people who came to the open house but also to everyone who has encouraged me and complimented me over this past year.
Without your support I could not do what I do.
Thank You to all of the customers,shop owners,festival organizers,volunteers,friends(old and new),vendors,fellow artists and crafters.A special thanks to the staff who work the cutting table at Jo Anns! lol
And I can't forget my beautiful family for helping me.

This has been a rewarding and fantastic year ! ! !
