Bridget Bag

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 Thursday I posted it on Facebook for her to see. Well let me tell you, she LOVED it! I posted it to my Facebook page and already had another person wanting it already. I have lots of work to do this weekend =)

I know she doesn't want me to sell her bag to anyone but her, BUT if you like it and want some jewelry to match check her site out. I think this would go real nice with this Bridget bag

All About Cranberry!

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 have still found some cranberries in the grocery stores. Maybe I could use frozen berries in my sauce??

Anyhow, here is my small tribute to the cranberry.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Yes, I know I am little late with the New Years wishes, but I have been busy!

If you aren't a fan on Facebook, I suggest you become one!! I do more Facebook updating thatn I do my blog. One of my things to do this year is to do more with my blog, but just in case you miss something, click the link to the right to become a Facebook Fan!! ----->>

Anyhow, if you haven't been on it in a while, please feel free to check out my newly updated website. I decided to tackle Zen Cart during my holiday break and have learned a lot about reading .PHP coding. I was a bit disappointed that I could implement it on my already designed site, but I am digging the way it turned out with all my adjustments I made to the Zen template.

I have also been slowly adding my items to the store and also taking different photos of some of my items. Check out the Eco Chic Shoppers. I love the way they turned out. Especially the new Watermelon and Cherry ones :)

Custom Totes

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, she came down today to gush about how happy she is with her purchase. The black and white one is the one that she's is sporting. The leopard print one was created for her cousin who loves animal prints. There is divided slip pockets along the back lining and there's a zippered pocket on the front. The strap is 27" long and it sits about 14" from the shoulder.

Bit Baubles and Buttons

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 anniversary.

Anyhow, over the weekend she had a Black Friday sale (much like most businesses online) and since I had one a contest that she was holding I got an extra percentage off! I jumped online and ordered this ring and some earrings for my daughter. Monday morning I got notification that this shipped so everyday I patiently waited for my ring to make it's long journey from Mississippi to Pennsylvania. Last night I ran home and ran down to the mail box with a big "Kook-Aid" smile on my face. I know my ring was here!!! I opened the package and there it was all wrapped up in blue tissue paper and bubble wrap. I loved her little sticker that held the tissue paper together (she's a graphic artist too)...So here are the photos.. Let's just say I am a very happy and satisfied customer.
