Amy Butler Midwest Modern

I have had a busy couple of weeks. I received my order of Amy butler's new Midwest Modern and have been sewing up a storm. I decided to use it for my pleated purses which are new for spring and summer. They are coming out quite nicely. I have a few listed in my shop and am hoping to update here soon with some photos. I am still making purses with Amy Butler's Belle and Lotus. I have to admit the Lotus line is still my favourite.

The zipper pouches I started making a couple of months ago have been flying off the shelves. I hope to be able to find some time to make a big batch with the new fabrics. I still have a few listed in my Etsy shop but the quantities are limited right now. So much to do and so little time.

What I've been working on

I know I have neglected my blog last month. I have been working hard on some new bags. These are currently my new favourites. I will be adding more in my store the next couple of weeks. I'm just trying to find some time to do photos. The zippered pouches I brought out a couple of months ago are doing quite well, so they will stay and I hope to do a smaller coin pouch version soon.

My treasury is on the front page of Etsy today

I logged on to Etsy this morning to find my treasury on the front page. It is very exciting. It is the most favourite treasury I have done. Everything I picked was stuff I would actually buy myself which is very important to me when choosing items. If anyone has time today go check out some of these great artists on Etsy.

Slow Week

It's been a slow week for me so I don't have much to post. I was in another treasury a few days ago which is always exciting. I have been working on my spring messenger bags. I have the first one posted in my shop now.

Etsy Treasury

I am in an Etsy treasury this week with one of my new zippered pouches! It's always exciting to browse through and come across one of your items.

I spent the whole day in Photoshop trying to fix my pictures. I finally figured it out and I think my pictures look 1oo% better. I am pretty proud of myself. I didn't think the program would be so hard to use. I have only upated about 1/3 of my shop but I'll start again tomorrow.

I don't think I'm going to do anything else tonight. Maybe watch a movie and go to bed.

Happy New Year!

I thought I should make some New Years resolutions or goals for 2008.
1. Clean and organize my sewing room (It is a disaster after the holiday rush).
2. Post or relist something in my Etsy shop everyday.
3. Start working on some new items that have been floating around in my head.
4. Continue working on my pictures. That is a never ending battle it seems.
5. Blog more often!

I guess that's all of them for now. I'll add more as they come to me.

I have been working on new zippered pouches and have slowly been adding them to my store. I hope to also add some market totes to my shop. I am tired of using the ugly grocery store bags.

Here is a sample of the pouches.
