A little Christmas Treat!

So I decided I needed a break from bags.   I picked up my quilt from the quilter, now I just want to work on quilts.  So I decided I would work on a little Christmas treat for the upcoming sale.  This will be a precious keepsake present, for a very special person.  There will only be one, as I'll be keeping the other one for myself.  

Third & Bird Sale coming up

If you didn't get your Snootsie at Crafted, I'll be at the Vinyard Church Dec. 5.  I still have a good selection of all my bags, and will be making several more of the styles that sold out.  

Laser wallets!!!

Sneak peek! They just got a little bigger!

CRAFTED!

What an Event! So many incredibly talented people in such a beautiful and creative space.  I'm so honoured to have been able to take part and share my love of craft.  If you didn't make it to Crafted, no worries, I still have a good selection of bags left, and will work hard for the next few weeks for Third and Bird at the Vineyard Church Dec. 5

Lovely Ladies!

Starting to wrap things up.  One more weekend to sew hard.  Going to do a few light waxed canvas bags.  Hope you can make it to CRAFTED.

CRAFTED!!!

Just over a week away! I've been sewing away, and can't wait to show you my collection.  Nov. 6-7 @ the WAG. 

Western Style

It's always gratifying seeing a batch of pretty purses altogether.  Two of these are spoken for and three of these will be available at CRAFTED. 

Spaceadelic

It's funny, I've made this satchel in every kind of leather, acid green, turquoise, grey suede and it's always awesome.  Black is always classic and a favourite or most but every time I make it in a crazy leather... I bet it's the first bag to go and it is.  

Experimenting!

I had way too much fun making these coin purses.  I used to make this purse when I first started making bags.  This time they are quite a bit fancier.  

So many Apples!

I'm such a huge fan of Cotton and Steel fabric, it's such a pleasure working with their beautiful fabrics.

Waxed Canvas Carry-All

Grey waxed canvas is by far my favorite.  I should definitely make more of these. 

Beautiful Barkcloth.

I love this basket bag design so much.  It's so simple and really lets the fabric shine.

Upcoming Sales

The sewing madness has begun.  I'm working my hardest to come up with some unique items for this sale.  I'm really excited for this not so typical craft sale.  Stay tuned for what I am working on.

Geese in the Forest

Not quite finished yet, but very close.  So packing it away to start making bags again.  Hoping to get a head start for all the winter sales I hope to part take in this year.  Stay tuned for what's in the making.

New Bucket Bag

How cool is this fabric !!!

I meant to only make one for myself, and a friend.  But now I have orders for 4 more.  These will only be a limited addition while supplies last.  

Is it Summer yet?

I'll be taking some time to go play outside, and work on a quilt and a few other project! See you in the Fall! 

What a Sale!!!

Wow! What a sale!! I am so happy that so many people appreciate my bags.  It's really heart warming.

Vintage Style Purse

I'm still trying to master these.  I have so much anxiety when it comes time to stitching the binding.  I have yet to perfect it, but I'll keep trying because they sure are pretty.  

The Classics

This might be the most beautiful combination of canvas leather and hardware, that I have ever made. Love it.

These beauties are something special, the insides are full of fabulous surprises.  Come and get them at the Third + Bird Sale. May 2.

Waxed canvas carry all.

Don't miss it!

 

 Still so much sewing to do... but I hope to have a variety of all of my bags at this sale.  Hope to see you there. 

Golden

I'm definitely having fun with bags this season.  After a load of requests for the Western Purse, I managed to put together some of the best ones I've ever made.  A year ago I bought this small piece of gold leather, now I  am tryin gto stretch it as far as I can, because it is so fabulous.

Quilting

Just thought I would share the project that has consumed most of my spare time this past winter.  I always thought I wanted to make a quilt, but I didn't realize I was going to become so obsessed with it.  I now have a line up of quilts I want to make... but bags are back in production... so they may just have to wait.
