Black and Blue Paisley Purse

Just finished today! I will be putting this purse up for sale on etsy shortly. I really like how this purse turned out, it lays flat and thin and fits nicely over your shoulder. I also really loved the blue paisley fabric I found for the lining, it's a nice, soft fabric. Blue beads are sewn around the top of the purse and a design from the paisley pattern is sewn onto the bottom right corner of the front. The back side of this purse is plain black with beads along the top. The body of the purse measures about 12" x 8 1/2"








There are two small pockets on the inside of the purse.








If anyone would like me to make a similar purse with a different fabric/color, please let me know and we can work something out!

Coffee Anyone?

While in the process of quiting Starbucks, I came up with this coffee-inspired messenger bag/purse...mmm...coffee...



The embroidery design came from a collection of coffee cup sketches in my sketch book







At the moment I'm not selling it because.....well....I want to keep it! But maybe someday :)

Let's Get Organized!



Now that I'm full-time crafting, I've finally started organizing a bit...hopefully I'll find a way to manage the overflowing pile of craft supplies on the floor, but for now, one thing at a time!

Anyways, I've just created this blog and I am at the very beginning stages of creating my own business. I'll be posting thoughts here as well as pictures of my projects and so forth! Thanks for your patience! I'll be back soon!
