Cheerful Chicas and Cobalt


Check out my new lables!...I love them.....



Created this small tote bag FOR ME today with some scrap fabric I bought from Lisa Lam!...arent those little ladies soooo cute!? :)



The scrap bag came with a strip of this fabric too so I used it as an embellishment for the matching zippered insert for the tote.....



My camera created this type of photo on its own...I thought it was pretty cool so I posted it.....:)



The set together....the tote is small but oh so cute!...I used it tonight when I went Thanksgiving shopping for goodies....:)



Picasa has some cool features huh?....:)

Bucket Bag from U-Handbag *FREE PATTERN*


Red Blooms Galore....Bag and matching pouch
Posted by Picasa

????? + LOVE

Good evening folks!  I wanted to touch bases with you guys and share some news thats been going on with me....I guess I finally understand that I sew well enough for someone to actually want to purchase something....I have sold a couple of pouches from my Etsy shop and I have also completed and sold my first custom order....I even sold a bag and pouch set and my customer was super happy!...its soooo surreal, you just never know where life will take you....How did I end up sewing anyway?...what was it that made me go into the garage that night and set up my sewing machine?...why didnt I ever do it before?...I can remember when I didnt even realize that I actually owned a sewing machine!..why didnt I ever even have the thought?......I wish I could pinpoint what it actually was...it would be sooooo interesting to know what it was.......was it anything?....Life, is very strange and I for one always find myself on a super roller coaster that is sometimes whimsically fun or lowly sad (the death of my parents and Bigmama **rest in peace**)...I only wish they could have seen what I have done with my life so far....my life is so drastically different from when they were with me...almost everything I do is entirely different but somehow the same in some aspects....I love my life and the people in it nevertheless and I am enjoying it....
((In total love with everything))
