What "We've" Been Doing

My friend was giving me some friendly heck today that I haven't posted anything in awhile so here I am posting. I have been working, Donna and I both have so here are a few bags that we've done.

This School Tote was ordered by my aunt for her student teacher. I cut everything but Donna did the quilting and assembling. She did a good job for her first one! Oh and sorry for the black straps that blend into the background.

These Mini-Folios were done for the Autumn Stroll. I will not be posting all the bags for the Autumn Stroll because I want it to be a bit of a surprise for those people who are obsessed with seeing new bags (Ashley and Jeanna) but I wanted to show the two that Donna and I finished on Tuesday. I completed the purple one and she did the black, white and red. I love Mini-Folios, they are quick and quick is great!!

Interesting News

I now have a woman to help me sew. Her name is Donna Kinsey and I am teaching her how to make bags so she can help me catch up with my current orders and prepare for the Autumn Stroll. I have been so behind, this pregnancy was kicking my butt in the beginning so now that I have entered my 2nd trimester, hopefully the energy will come. But I am so thankful that Donna came along. She is the mother of a little boy that my daughter Kylie goes to preschool with and we ran into eachother at the playground one day. We got to talking and somehow my bag business came into the conversation and she mentioned how much she'd love to do something like that from home, being a sewer herself. So things just fell into place. I can't get any bigger as a small business owner if I don't have help so I'm hoping this is a step in the right direction. Be prepared to see some of Donna's creations soon!! Oh and I think she may be at the Autumn Stroll so you can meet her then!

Black Messenger

This bag was an outside order from my sister's bag bash. It is black even though the lighting isn't that great and it may not look like it.

Mini-Messenger

Photobucket

This is the last bag I had to do from Stacee's party in July. Now can you see how behind I am, that was just over 2 months ago!! I hope Danielle is thrilled to finally get her bag and hopefully she's not too sore at me :)..... I love the way the flower pops on this black Mini-Messenger!

Another Diaper Bag

Diaper bags sure seem to be the thing this summer! This bag was ordered as a shower gift by a friend of mine. I had to change it up from the one I made a while bag, no two bags can be exactly the same, you know!!

Another Brick Tote

This bag was ordered from Stacee's party way back in July and yes, I only just recently finished it. I was very behind with not feeling well and everything but thankfully Barb (the owner of this bag) was very understanding. Thanks, Barb! So her bag is finally done. I also finished another bag this week but it's a shower gift so I can't post it until after the shower, you never know!!

Corina Bag

Flare Bag

These are two bags that sold today at my sisters Bag Bash. Two other bags sold but one was the girly diaper bag with the large floral print and the stripes and the other bag, would you believe I must have forgotten to take a picture of it? It's super cute, too! Oh well, I know the lady who bought it so maybe one day I can take a picture of it. I did pretty well today at the bag bash, 9 total sold, 4 cash and carry and 5 custom orders. Not too bad! Thanks, Korin for having it! I guess I can't slack off anymore, I have to get moving!
