been awhile
I have been busy updating the other blog [on squarespace] as well as sewing crafty goodness plus my teen daughter is involved in a couple of summer activities and to top it all off, I"m volunteering at our local library on Tuesday and Thursdays while the library staff puts on the summer reading program.
The majority of the bags that I'm making right now use denim in some form or fashion. I have so many tshirt totes in my etsy shop that I'm more than a little afraid to add any more - I think the current count is twenty-seven (27) - and these pants totes are a joy to make. Due to their size and construction, pants totes require more brain power when I sew 'em up, which I like, and choosing a multitude of nifty fabrics is fun.
I adore putting together a patchwork of fabrics and seeing them create a beautifully functional piece of art.
I found a fellow crafter the other day who is also on squarespace but I wanted to share her crafty skills here with you. Check her out at http://tigglegiggles.squarespace.com

BIG NEWS
A local shop is going to start selling my tshirt totes! I am beyond excited with this news and will be a busy bee today as well as this weekend creating an inventory for the shop. I am not going to let my etsy or artfire store to be completely depleted and so will stock both of these shops as well. Needless to say, my sewing machine is going to get a workout.
Both etsy and artfire shops might see an increase in the number of pants totes as well as other items (pin cushions and pillows) until I have sufficient inventory for the local shop, since they intend to carry only the tshirt totes at this time.
