I was approached months ago from a very supportive customer. She loved the Mascara bag (she already purchased 2) but she wanted something bigger and with round handles. It took me a while to get it together, but this year, I started a weekly "to-do" list. Bridgets bag was number one on that list. I sat down on Tuesday and drafted up a pattern. Wednesday I cut it out and sewed it together and

For the past 2 months I have been obsessed with cranberries. I have always loved cranberries and usually only ate them around the holidays (cranberry sauce anyone?), but my lovely husband showed me how easy it was to make homemade whole cranberry sauce. I couldn't believe it.. just water, sugar and cranberries!! I will soon be sad when the cranberry season is over. I think it's over now, but I

These are a few custom pieces you won't find online... I created these 2 tote bags for a coworker. She was carrying around a tote that was given to her 2 years ago by the company we work for. Needless to say this company issued tote had the company logo screenprinted very largely on both sides. She loved the size of the bag, but wanted pockets and was tired of giving away free advertising. Anyhow

I just have to share with everyone my recent purchase from a wonderful crafty lady. Her name is Bridget and she is a mom, blogger, sewer, knitter and jewelry artisan. Now if you know me, I'm not a big jewelry person but when I seen her "Amber Ring" I fell in love. I told my husband about it a few months ago. I am not sure if he thought I was joking or what, but I never did receive it for our

Can you believe Thanksgiving is exactly 3 days away? I've already got my plans in place, and I'm very pleased that I will not be traveling as far this year, but only 30 minutes away to a cousin's place for dinner. My (large) family always does a potluck style dinner and I will be bringing something different this year. I offered to do a roast instead of ham, and I will be bringing green beans as

I am loving the new clutch. It's called the Diva clutch. It's 13 1/2 inches wide and 7 inches tall. It's a flat style clutch that can hold a nice amount. There is a snap closure on the inside (lining) to keep your belongings inside incase of a fall.http://www.mylasbags.com/http://www.mylasbags.ecrater.com/

I decided to bring the Jillian clutch back. I asked my fans on FaceBook and they all were excited to see any new creations. After looking at fabric in my stash for a week or so, I decided that I needed to cut something out already!I used Amy Butler fabric for the back and flap portion and a black cotton twill for the lower. There is an inner slit pocket inside and a silver buckle on the front.

I was on Etsy early this morning looking for some new and interesting handbag handles. I came acroose a vendor who has beautiful handles. I loved this one in particular. I was thinking of making a large clutch and adding this as a closure. I've already started drafting some ideas and hopefully, I will purchase this and make something lovely!http://www.mylasbags.com/http://

I just opened up my email to reveal my latest newsletter from Amy Butler Design... I love all thinks Amy Butler and wish I could afford one of her rugs... This one below is my favorite, but at a eye-popping $799 for a 5' by 7.6' rug, I find that hardly affordable for someone working with my budget. Oh well, another thing to add to my "when I win the powerball" wish

I finally got a chance to sit down and photograph most of the fabrics for my website. It took longer than expected because the kitties enjoy being in everything including the fabric. It was tough to "shoo" the cats away, lint roll any stray hairs and photograph at the same time, but I did it and I am happy with the results.www.mylasbags.comwww.mylasbags.ecrater.com

My daughter wanted a pet snail for the longest time. I did some research to try to find one and found that the best place to get a snail was outside your home. Purchasing a snail online was a bit tricky with all the laws in transporting them from state to state. Well, after several months of searching at night and under bushes and trees we gave up. Snails aren't common where we live so unless we

I've been busy lately and have neglected my website for a few weeks now. Well today I told myself that I was going to go home and work on my website when I got out of work at noon today. Well after I met my hubby for lunch, I did go home and do just that. I sat at home and made some minor adjustments to fonts and other stuff. I also made my product pages for some of my pages and finally put add

Last night I posted a picture of one of my favorite dinner's to make, Sausage and Bowties. Everyone on my Facebook commented how good it looked and wanted the recipe. I've already substituted different meats like chicken and shrimp and it came out delicious. I still prefer the italian sausage best. If you don't eat pork you can use the turkey italian sausage which is just as good, even though

I created this bag about 2 years ago. I called it the Jenni clutch (because it matched the Jenni pleated tote). I only made 3 of them. 1 in orange floral, one in black and white floral and one in solid black. I was going through some old photos today and found this photo. It took me back to the first day I made this. I loved that bag, why did I stop making it? Who knows!! Sometimes I do things

And it's up... I have been wanting to post a calendar of events on my website forever, but didn't like the idea of just making a list. That would be to hard to keep up with. I don't update that often and besides, I don't care to see event's that aren't updated on other people's sites. Anyhow, I got mine from Google. It allows me to add my events to the calendar and it automatically does the

Didn't feel like making bags so I made a few of these on Monday...(fyi.. they are pocket tissue holders)Loved these when I saw them. I found the tutorial online here and I made some...And I started a bedspread for my daughter today. I found this fabric called "Running 8th's" at Joann Fabrics a few weeks ago. I also found a pattern for pillows that I liked so I took the pillow pattern and just

I had big plans for this week. I have craft show on Saturday and was planning on making tons of bags and accessories for the show.... BUT I got sick. I think it's a head cold.. I think.. anyway.. stuffing nose and sore throat...Dayquil is great, but it still makes me drowsy... I am hoping that I can get rid of this illness by Wednesday so I can get some work done.

Last week was a very busy week for me. There was so much going on with creating an 80's outfit for my daughter, getting my family organized for our Mother's Day dinner and also just spending time with my family. I was very blessed to be able to spend Saturday afternoon and evening sewing up some handbags with my daughter. She decided that she finally wanted to sit down and make some catnip

If you read my previous blog on the 80's, I am sure you are waiting for the pictures from the school dance last week. Well here they are. My daughter informed me earlier in the week that not many students or parents were going to dress up, so I held back and did not go "ALL OUT" in accessorizing and dressing up for the event. Here is a photo of my daughter in her tutu. She loved the earrings so

Finally, I have posted the belts on the website. Come by and check them out. I think they are adorable and are a perfect match for your handbag.

Yes, I was an eighties baby, but I don’t really remember much about my youth let alone the horrible fashions I am sure I was dressed up in by my mother. My daughter wants to go her school social next week. The theme… “Dress like your favorite decade”. Well I knew everyone would probably do the 50’s and the 70’s so I told my daughter we were going to do the 80’s. I am very excited to be making our

Some of you may have noticed that my website has been down for about a week or so. It first started with my host. I don't know if I did something wrong or if my host needed to change something. My husband, being the tech nerd {spoken in love} as he is, upgraded the computer to using Internet Explorer 8. He loved it; he showed me all the features of the upgrade. Right now, I could care less.

I attended my first craft show for the 2009 season on Sunday, March 29th. The show started at 9 so I had to be at the Fire Company to set up at 6:30 am. The show was very well organized. There were tons of Fireman there to help you find your space and unpack your vehicle. The food was delicious. The other vendors were very helpful and friendly. Everyone was there to have a good time.

After alot of discussions between my husband and I, I finally decided to make my own bag stand for future craft shows and other events. I am no dummy when it comes to sketching out and idea, although my drawing skills are lacking, my brain can hold tons of precise details on projects and ideas that I get. I headed out to Home Depot late last week and and played around with the PVC piping. I had

Just finished these. I am really liking my Eco Chic Grocery Totes and hope more folks get into using "earth friendly" bags. I was recently at Sam's club and saw that they sold a larger bag, but i wasn't really impressed with the quality of the material used. It almost felt like it was a coated paperbag. Two of them cost $2.99. I thought that was kind of a rip off considering they look like after

Over the past month I have been hearing more and more of Obama’s stimulus plan. I don’t doubt that this plan is a good idea, but I think we have some thinking to do on how we as American’s can really stimulate the economy with the money we are to receive.

So I decided to finally cut the fabric and came up with this. I cut out Albert and Bucky out and appliqued them to the front of this black cotton twill tote. The straps are longer than my usual straps and have a drop of 14 inches. This tote fits comfortable over your arm and hangs close to your hip.

I have been approached on several ocassions regarding making some eco-friendly grocery totes. I finally got a chance to sit down and really think about how big I would make a bag. I have been doing some research and most of the "handcrafted" bags I've seen on the market have been smaller, regular flat tote style bags. I wanted to incorporate the "tote" style into my design, but also make it

I was inspired this weekend as I walked around Joann Fabrics. There were so many beautiful fabrics out. I knew that I could not bring anymore fabric home to create bags, but I was still drawn to a certain fabric. My daughter who is usually very inpatient looked at me and says," Mommy, you haven't made me a dress in awhile." That was very true. It has been over a year since I made her any

I have been wanting to create a new shoulder bag for a long while now. I sat down months ago and drafted up a pattern for what is now the "Lexi" bag. Originally, this bag had rectangular wooden handles and was deeper. I played with the size for a long time. I knew I wanted a rectangular bad that could hold a lot, but most of the samples came out too short. I thought that I had a

I received a wonderfal package in the mail yesterday. This package came from the Owner of "Oh That's So Cute", Pamela Council. If you haven't already, you must visit her website on Etsy. Pamela sells hand drawn and hand colored greeting cards, note cards and gift tags. What you see online doesn't compare to the product that you will receive from her.She was the winner of the Red and Yellow Floral

For all you that have read the article on "Handbag Undies" this is the perfect accessory for you is the multipurpose pouch.The pouch is perfect for all your everyday needs and some. The large one is long enough to hold a few pens and pencils, maybe some makeup. I don't know about you, but how often do you find yourself looking for a pen to fill out a check while you are in a store?? The large

Hello Bag Carriers!Did you know that there is a proper way to carry a handbag? Well as we all know there is a right and a wrong way of doing everything... right? Well, this includes handbag carrying too! Allow me to give a series of lectures in handbag carrying 101.1. DON'T BE A BAG DUMPER!I've seen many women at the check out stand of a grocery store and/or department store "digging for gold" at

Talk about a blast from the past! I was in Joann's doing my usually searching for unusual fabrics when I came across a familiar face. I pulled out the fabric and was surprised to see that it was the Fat Albert characters. "Whoa", I said out loud, the woman next to me gave me an odd look. I got a bit excited, but soon was disappointed. The fabric was a poly blend, which means, it can't really be

What an adorable idea to help encourage self esteem in our young girls. So often we watch television and we see actresses being ridiculed for gaining 5 pounds and actresses starving themselves because they don't want to look to "heavy". I don't know about you, but a lot of those same actresses look horrible because almost every bone in their body is protruding for their stomachs, hips, necks and

So I totally forgot to post a blog about the "Official" Grand Opening of my website. My website has been up and running since April, with many changes here and there, I am 90% satisfied with the way it looks. There are a few things I would love to change, but you know it takes allot of time to complete those changes. Building a website is hard work. Now I know why companies charge allot to

Last night I decided to take new pictures of my handbags. Allot of the pictures that are posted on my store are very poor quality. I have been waiting for my husband to take better pictures for me, but he is a very busy man.I initially wanted to take them outside, set them on our patio table and take outdoor shots of them. Unfortunately, it was rainy and cold and just plain ugly last night. I

I am now featured on two blogs here. Itiel (the smell good lady) posted a blog about me as well. It's so nice to see people that are enjoying what I do just as much as I enjoy doing it. Please stop by her blog to see what she has to say.

So I logged on to my Myspace on Saturday afternoon as was surprised to see this message waiting for me:Congrats,I found yourJillian clutch to fly to pass by. So I featured it in my blog. I mainly use myblog to highlight fab accessory finds at great prices. With that being said youhave been featured becuase of your Jillian clutch. For more exposure I alwayssuggest the artist place a bulletin and a

There are 4 more months until my wedding. In all the excitement and preparation, I have been sewing less. It's already been hard trying to start my business, raise a 9 year old and manage a relationship with a wonderful (and understanding) man and work a full time job. I have been blessed with an understanding family, but it seems like things are starting to fall to the wayside the closer it

Ok, so this post has nothing to do with handbags, but I must comment on the package I recieved yesterday. I am apart of a online networking forum called Black Business Woman Online. This is a wonderful group. They are very supportive and offer tons of help with anything you can imagine. I would strongly advise you all join. Anyway, I am apart of a group that was creative to give more support to

I love this fabric and have been seeing this print for months at Joann Fabrics. Last weekend, I decided to pick it up and finally create something. What did I create?? A bag of course. I love the bag so much that I am wondering whether or not to sell it :(This fabric to some is , well, ugly. The big bright yellow flowers against the big black flowers on a white background. I love that is LOUD! I

I just love this bag. It will be a classic for my collection for sure. Everyone loves the style and the versatility of this handbag. This handbag can be used during the day for everyday functions and can be used at night. I have yet to create an "evening" Mimi handbag but it IS in the makings. Please stop by my store to check out all the different colors and sizes of this wonderful little or big

I knew my patience was growing shorter as I am growing older, that’s why I decided NOT to go back to school for my teaching degree. I enjoy working with children, but my patience will not allow me to help a child that may struggle at what I am teaching. I have found that I do enjoy working with kids on fun things, like playing games and being creative.When my daughter asked me a month or so ago

Finally I am here on Blogspot. I have been looking around here for awhile and decided to post away. I have a few MySpace accounts, but at times I feel no one really reads your blogs on there anyway. So here's my attempt in blogging and posting all the things that are in my mind. All the ideas and creative visions I have for my bags. I hope you enjoy and come back and comment often.
