Back in the Studio

That's right, I'm back in the studio!  Feels great.  First it was WAY too hot, and I had to get my a/c shoved in the window.  So now, with this new heat wave, I'll be able to keep working.

Then when it did cool off, I was busy running around.  I got to see the Robert Coppuci show yesterday.  Such great stuff!!  Did the flea market on Saturday, that was fun and successful.  And I just can't remember what else I've been doing.

So here's my latest design.  A play on the snap and zipper wallet from Laura at Thimble.  I've made it longer (wider?) to hold you bills without folding, I put a couple pockets in to hold your cards and of course the zipper pocket for coins.  Its in my favorite wood plank fabric and chicken wire fabric lining. 

Love that fabric!!

Zipper pocket for coins

Can you see the pocket?  There are two.
I'm going right now to test it out!  Hope to have more to show you this week.

Stay cool!

A Turquoise Goodie!

Here's the latest and greatest bag.  Same size of the yellow one, a good size, not too big, not too small.  Pockets on the outside for your cell phone, keys, whatever.  Pockets on the inside for other odds and ends. 

8" x 7" x 5.5"

 Came out great!

Yellow and Ladybugs - So cheerful!

What's more cheerful than the color yellow and Ladybugs?  This purse would brighten anyone's day.

7" x 6.5" x 5.5"
Great Size!


I have been mostly working in my little back yard.  Its tiny, but it is that time of year to get stuff planted, and the old stuff trimmed up and looking good.  The yards off to a good start.  Already the blueberries are bluing up, and the strawberries have one pink berry I'm watching!  Hope I get to eat that strawberry before the squirrels do!

Foldover Clutch

I'm more or less pleased with this little clutch.  Mostly that its over, I didn't plan it well and ended up ripping it apart at least 3 times.  It would have been better had I not had to cut off all the birds, but maybe next time will be the charm.  I do like the snaps and the zipper and the lime green piece.
8.5" x 5" folded




8" x 8.5" open
It would have been nice if there was a more than one whole bird.



  
this nice horse is giving you a glimpse of the lining.
