It began as a silly thankyou.
Saturday, July 19th, 2008…but as I started working on it, I realized I could actually make it kinda classy and cute, in a preppy sort of way!
Here’s the story: My friend’s mom, Cindy, sent over some fabrics for me to add to my stash. She’s a lifer, if you know what I mean: she’s been [...]
Enough about me… what have YOU created this summer?!!
Saturday, July 19th, 2008So I’ve been thinking: I’m always showing off my latest projects, and for a change I’d like to see some of yours! I’ve started a Flickr Group (this weekend, in fact) to give you a chance to show off some of your favorite summer handbag creations. Don’t you love this idea?!

Now she’s ready for vacation!
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008My good friend Teri is heading out to the East Coast for a family vacation. She called me and told me about a bag she purchased for the trip, but it had some issues. It wasn’t big enough to carry her purse, personals, books and mags, and her laptop. She also didn’t like the exterior [...]
Fore!…for her!
Sunday, July 13th, 2008My two girlfriends, Jenn and Teri, and I are just the perfect combination of friends. Never do I laugh as hard as when the three of us are together. Last night we celebrated Teri’s birthday with a lovely night out to dinner at a restaurant that does not include a drive thru. [...]
What are friends for…pillowcases, of course!
Thursday, July 10th, 2008My super amazing web designer (and great friend) , Cicily, does so much work for me (you have no idea), and usually at the drop of a hat despite her heavy client load. I can only repay her and say “thank you” with so many handbags y’know, so sometimes she lets me do some other [...]

Another birthday delight.
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008Yet another birthday…..which means another gift to give. For me, I love it when it means a gift I can make. I don’t have any daughters so whenever I can use “pink”, I jump at the chance.
Furthermore, this I-Spy bag is something I’ve been eager to try to make for a good [...]
