Farewell!

Thank you for looking over my projects! I'm very grateful for anybody who's given input or bought anything. Your support means more than you know!

New Blue Paisley Purse!

I LOVE this purse! I originally made it for myself, but--as the maker of these gems--I already have too many to use. I wish I could keep it, but it's just not big enough for 2 babies' diapers, wipes, toys, changes of clothes, and recieving blankets. Boo...







Lightweight, it is constructed of blue paisley and light tan colored cottons with light blue thread. Inside are two divided pockets, and the clasp is a square of velcro (under the pretty, pearly vintage button!). Blue paisley cuffs adorn each end of the strap. (Don't mind the bundle of cloth diapers that I stuffed it with, for photographic purposes!)









Normally I would make this one more expensive, but in keeping with my plan to offer one item/wk for $10 or less, I'm offering this bag for $10. That economy--it's a killer! As always: first come, first served!








This Purse: $10
Custom Orders: $12 - $24
Shipping: $2

the HOLD EVERYTHING bag

This bag is big! A very simple, functional bag, at 16 inches deep and 20 inches wide, it can hold a LOT of stuff! Kind of hobo style, it has a rectangular body and a 16 inch long strap so that when you carry it, it hangs in a floppy way. (See the picture with the silly girl in blue.) So cute!

Since I didn't put pockets on it, I'm including a matching 4" x 7" wallet. This bag is spacious enough to carry your towels and pool toys; a small blanket and pillow; or just about any other series of objects that you could need for a fun summer activity! A good gift, overnight bag, or even a fancy grocery bag! You just can't go wrong with this!

Sorry, this one is SOLD!

By custom order only: $8 - $12

Reagan's Bag

My cousin's little girl is turning one, and she asked me to make a matching girlie doll bag and blanket. Here's what I came up with!


Lightweight and durable, it's an adorable little tot tote that can be customized to fit any color scheme or theme imaginable. It can be little bitty, or even adult-sized.

And it grows with the child! Carrying a doll on the first birthday, sippee cups on the second, library books on the third... Perfect gift for just about anybody!

Available by custom order only at this time.
Price range: $15 - $30 (depending on size and embellishments)
