For a special little lady.
My niece, Sawyer is very much a lady. Homegirl LOVES shoes. like a lot. She puts on anyone and every ones shoes. Even when you are wearing them. I’ve seen her try to remove other peoples shoes to try them on. She shouts “shooooz, shooz!!” It’s the cutest thing ever. She also loves carrying her plastic keys (or her mother’s real keys) around with a toy mirror and fake dollar. She walks about the house like she’s got places to go! She has a toy purse, but she doesn’t really use it. It’s kind of odd shaped, has a face, plays music and well, it’s not very stylish. I really think she’s hip to it. So, yesterday I finally set out to put a mini Krust bag together for her as her mother requested a while ago. Here is the result!
It’s a tiny version of the angle clutch but made into a cross body with custom colors for this little mama on the go.
I think she likes it <3
Week(s) in iPhone #16
So, I have been pretty absent on here lately. After the move, I just haven’t really felt much like posting. Mostly because I didn’t feel like I had much to post for whatever reason. But, tonight I decided to update, finally.
Life has been great since the move. I LOVE our house and I LOVE living with my brother and his family. I Love having Emily with me most days of the week while I’m working on stuff or to run errands with. And seeing my Niece and Nephews everyday. We have been having a lot of fun. Playing in our backyard, going on walks or bike rides, having family dinners, having friends over to just chill, watching all the new fall TV shows together, playing video games, and board games, decorating! painting our nails, drinking tea, and eating sweets and making Starbucks runs at 10pm. I am loving our commune living and hope we can ride it out as long as possible until it absolutely doesn’t work for us anymore. Because, life is good here.
And with that, here is a little iPhone photo update from the last month or more!!!!
Since moving into the new house, I have been very excited at the idea of making my Brother and Sister in laws, 2 dogs sleep with me in my bed. They love to burrow under the covers and it’s pretty cute. Well, Blue, the older one slept with me once, but he insists on sleeping with Mommy and Daddy otherwise. Coco, however, has spent most night in bed with me, and I love it. She is lying next to me as I type this like a little person, exactly as shown in the photo above. Her paws and head out of the covers. <3 the Coco.
I have been doing a bit of sewing. I attempted to make 2 dresses, but only 1 really came out :/ can’t win them all right?
I recently finished the photo collage on my bedroom wall. I am in love with. I’ll post better photos later! It’s lots of fun.
I get to see my Dad a lot more these days since he lives closer to me now. He comes over a couple times a week. It makes me so happy to see him so much more often now. He recently played Darth Vader for the kids and it was pretty awesome.
My sister and I babysat my niece and nephews one afternoon while my Brother and sister in law went to a Giants game, and Sawyer and Truman “helped” me to my laundry. They mostly sat in the laundry basket and put on all the clothes. Adorable.
So, we live across the street from the bay line. It’s pretty awesome. We have a really neat view out our living room window, and can zip across the street to walk, ride or whatever along a paved path the runs all along it. We discovered a couple little beaches close by along the path, that have made for a lot of fun walks.
The baby squirrel I could not resist getting pics of! I probably got closer than I should have, but I wasn’t messing with him, I promise. I just love his sweet face! And he was such a good sport, eating his discovered tomato skin and posing for pics. Don’t you love him? <3
I plan to be back to regular blogging again, now. I finally started taking pictures again last week, and I have some ideas and I’m ready to get back into the swing of things. I have a few sewing projects to share with you. And I am working on a few new color combos and bags to add to the shop soon!
Thanks to anyone who’s stuck around.
Fall 2011: Geometry.
I am so excited to share my new fall bags with you today!!! I went a different direction this time, and sort of kept with a theme. I am still using my core fabrics; the Tan, Grey and Black Duck canvas. It’s just a great sturdy fabric. And I LOVE the Tan color it comes in.
Check out the 10 new bags!!!
I knew I wanted to do a chevron stripe for the new fall line. And I had been wanting try to working in some neons and some variation of neons and neutrals together. This was as far as I went and I am so pleased with it. The Tan and pink is my absolute favorite bag. Although I do really love them all!
Get your Chevron cross body bag in the SHOP. Available in Tan/Pink, Grey/Green, or Black/White.
This is one design I came up with one day while doodling and sketching over the summer.
I came across this salmon linen before coming up with the design and when I was sketching, it felt like a no brainer to include it in this new line with the grey, tan and black. I LOVE this salmon color.
Get your Angled clutch in the SHOP. Available in Tan, Grey, Black, or Salmon.
I drew this one up one afternoon while babysitting this summer. I had discovered this teal denim a few months back and used to make a doily clutch with. I KNEW I wanted to use it again and somehow incorporate into the fall line I wanted to do. Once I finished the drawings, I was so excited to get to work on them. These were the first of the fall line that I had started and finished. Seeing them all done really motivated me to get the rest done. I LOVE how they came out.
Get your triangle clutch in the SHOP. Available in Teal, Black, or Tan.
Thanks for coming to check out the new bags! Let me know what you think.
I plan to continue to add to this line with other colors and designs throughout the Fall months. So, do stay tuned for more!
Sneak Preview.
One more quick peek before all the bags are listed tomorrow morning! I may get to excited and release full photos throughout today… we’ll see. But, for this morning, how’s this?
I Love new bags! Can’t wait to get them all up and see what you all think!
Thanks for waiting with me <3
Peek a boo.
I’m pretty wiped out tonight. So, I am only sharing one quick (revealing) photo of one the new bag designs! I finished these first, and LOVE the way they turned out. This pic was a couple weeks ago, while I started working on the line.
Are you at all intrigued? Check back tomorrow for another peek at bags from the new line. All new bags will be available on Thursday September 1st! I am so excited to take real pictures of them all together today. Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
Week in iPhone #15
I realize how incredibly absent I have been. I wish I were a better everyday blogger. But, I am not. Here is a little iPhone photo update of my last couple weeks.
Just before moving, I started working a new bag line for the fall. The last few weeks have been spent packing, cleaning, developing new bags, and babysitting. There was a little fun int here too, of course…
The above photos are a mish-mash and in no order at all. Working on my favorite bag in the new line with a homemade iced coffee at my side 
. My new work space in my new house! A Love Letter for an amazing lady. Lots of thread! My gorgeous nephew, Truman rockin his hat to the back. Cleaning out my work space, found a good chunk of bent pins. Someone on instagram commented that it was a sign of hard work. That made me feel better, I thought I just had issues. Getting my hair did. Relaxing after some serious packing and saying goodbye to a really great bedroom!
Well, I’m mostly settled here in my new place, so I will be more regular here on the blog. AND, I have a lot of fun, exciting things coming up! Like a NEW bag line. Hope you haven’t forgotten about me. <3
Stripes and Hearts for Bridesmaids.
The devine, Miss (Soon to be Mrs!) Melissa over at Hi Baby contacted me a few weeks back about putting together some bags that she could gift to her Bridesmaids. I was, again, super excited to get to work on an order for Bridesmaids! She chose the Grey and White striped zipper clutches with pink lining, and pink heart zipper tags. It was so fun getting them all ready, and I Loved getting to see them all together and stacked up when they were finished. Bulk orders are the best!
Not ONLY am I sharing photos of the finished product, but I also want to let you all know that Melissa has put together some AMAZING Wedding week giveaways. Melissa is getting married this weekend and has set up 5 giveaways for each day leading up to her big day! And on day one she has offered up one of my bags!!! So head over and enter, and check out the other giveaways that are up already, and watch for the 2 to come tomorrow and Friday!
Congratulations Melissa! I cannot wait to see pictures of your special day <3
A Krust booth.
I have been meaning to share a few quick pictures of what my little booth looked like at the Car show I set up at earlier this month. I had a lot of fun sort of mapping the space out beforehand and even more fun once I got there and got to work. I can’t wait to do more events like this! I Love setting my bags up in fun shop able displays.
See all the bags shown here in detail with links to buy IN THIS POST.
Addition.
New summertime teal Doily clutch.
Check out this new Doily clutch color!!!! I want to start incorporating more bright colors on the actual bags as well as having bright colored linings inside some of the bags. So, this was a first attempt and I LOVE how it came out. The cream doily looks extra pretty on the bright teal background.
It is now listed in my Etsy shop, HERE.
Go check it out!
