The Latest Bag

I don't really have much to say about this little bag other than I love it! I guess that says it all. Come see it at the Autumn Stroll!

Diaper Bag for Boy

I finally finished this bag today. It took me a few days but now it's done. This "boyish" diaper bag will be for sale at the Autumn Stroll along with the girly one that is in a past post and they are $55 each. My diaper bags have a wipes pocket, 2 inside bottle pockets, an inside cell phone pocket with flap and velcro closure and an outside bottle pocket. In the second picture, you can see all of these pockets filled but I had to use sippy cups since I don't have anymore bottles in the house but you get the idea. The diaper bags are pretty large, I'm not sure that you can see how truly large in the pictures so the measurements are approximately 17in. long by 12 1/2in. high. It's certainly a great size for all the stuff you have to cart around with an infant. You may be wondering why I didn't choose the typical "baby" fabric. That is because I wanted these bags to look like they could be used for a toddler as well as a baby or if you are going somewhere that you need to bring a bunch of stuff, you know, the just in case stuff, this bag could be used for that. So it is technically a diaper bag but could be used for other things as well.

1st Day of School

Today is the first day of school! Of course I was out taking pictures so here are my girls ready for school. Miah (left) is in kindergarten and Isabel (right) is a 1st grader this year. Wow, my girls are growing up fast.

Some Flare For Fall

Since the Single Strap Bag was the most popular on my previous poll, I decided I better get making some for the Stroll. Then the creative juices started to flow. I made the bow out of some scraps of quilted fabric to add a bit of flare to this fall bag. What do you all think?

Bag for Reunion Auction

So this year for our annual family reunion, I was voluteered by my wonderful aunt to make a bag for the handmade things auction. This is the bag I made and guess what..........my sister got it!! So now my sister finally has one of my bags besides the beach bag, of course. Korin, show it off all you want! Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you to all who participated in my 500 Hits giveaway! I appreciate all the great comments! Oh and I am 200 hits away from 1000, I may throw in a little something something for that, too!

The "No Name" Bag

Ok, All. I need your help. I came up with this bag myself after being disgusted with how the actual pattern came out. It originally was a Florida Bag but it didn't carry well at all, I was very disappointed but couldn't let this great fabric go to waste. So I ripped it apart and recreated it. Now it has no name. So I have come up with a few names for this bag and would like you all to vote on which name you like best for this bag. Vote by commenting to this post and tell me what your choice is. Thanks so much. I'll tally up the votes in a few days.

Name choices:

The City Bag

The Miah Bag (that's my middle daughter's name)

The Casey Bag

The Hexa Bag

Mini-Folio with Style

How cute is this bag! I had a few interested in seeing a brown and pink bag and after months of searching for fabric (go figure, nobody had brown and pink, seriously) I found some yesterday and fell in love! What do you think of the slanted flap? Comment and let me know. I was trying something new to add a little "style" and want to know what you all think. Comment away!

Mini-Folio

This bag and the brown and pink bag above will be available at the Autumn Stroll. What do you think of this size? It' s approximately 10 in. long and 6 in. high. Please comment and let me know. Oh and sorry about the wrinkly white background, I don't have patience for ironing.

Ran out of thread!!

I seriously hate it when I run out of thread. I was working on a bag, a semi-new style, I'll call it the Mini-Folio and I only had a few more things to do until it was finished and then ran out of white thread! That really chaps my cheeks! Anyway, so I am off to Birkholders, an awesome fabric store in the middle of nowhere, with my kids and my Grandma (it ought to be interesting). I'd like to stock up on some fall prints, too, while I'm there. I can't believe that fall will be here before we know it. I'm ready to break out my jeans and smell that crisp Autumn air. It's my favorite season you know. Ok, enough about fall. Keep watching my blog for the finished Mini-Folio and also I finished a totally new style called the Florida Bag. Not too sure about though, I need opinions on that one so stay tuned for that one, too.

Sold

The All Squares small tote has been spoken for. The lovely Aleisha has decided that it's the bag for her. Hope you enjoy it, Aleisha! And yes, Korin, I do have more of that paisley fabric.

500 Hits!!

In honor of getting 500 hits on my blog, I am throwing in a little something something to get people to check out my blog of bags. I will randomly pull one name from the list of people who comment to this post (if you were unable to comment before because you didn't have a google account, I have changed my settings so anyone may now comment) and that one gal will receive 20% off a bag that she purchases from me. There must be at least 10 comments to this post and you may only comment once. So please, tell your friends!! I will wait one week for all the comments. So on Monday the 13th of August, I will announce who's name has been called. Make sure you check back and see if it's you!!

Some Fabric Combinations

Ok, I finally got some of my fabric combinations together for you all to see. If anyone is interested in having a bag made with any of them, please contact me, I'd be more than happy to make your custom bag.

All Squares

Don't these three fabrics look great together? There's no better way to show them all off than squares. What a great bag for the fall and winter! I can't wait to play around with more fabrics in this pattern!

The Purple Tulip

I absolutely love these colors together! I can't even remember where I got the purple fabric but isn't it gorgeous? This Purple Tulip is a birthday gift for someone, it's the best tulip anyone could ever receive!

Jeanna, It's Finished!

My friend Jeanna has been waiting for this bag for what she will tell you felt like forever. She has been "advertising" my bags to all she knows but has yet to actually carry one of her own, until now. I finished it today so now Jeanna, my friend, you will have your bag to show off unto all the world!!
