Let's Get It Started! (But Not Finished)

This is my latest set of bags, a larger version of the "Double Flap Snap". There were 6, but I actually finished one because it was a custom order. The remainder of them need straps & buttons sewn on (I will admit they were taped on for the photos) and threads clipped, which I will get to... eventually.

Stella of the Desert

I had originally wanted to post pictures of my current project (but I actually have to have pictures in order to post them), a group of tote bags, but I received this photo this morning from the woman who adopted Stella, this cute clothesline helper. I am really enjoying the vegetation in this image as I live in Wisconsin and don't see much desert growth around here.

I have my first summer show coming up on 6/12, which seems like forever away, but I think it's only (gasp) 9 weeks and I have soooo much to do, including another set of clothespin bags.

It's a Giveaway!

It was above freezing today so I was motivated to get outside for a walk. There were patches of snow on the sidewalks and in parking lots that were melting and it made me think of spring (I know - it's only January in Wisconsin, but a "nice" day gets a girl looking forward to t-shirts and shorts).

I've also been thinking about how it's been almost a year since I made my first sale on Etsy (as andreainpajamas) and as one thought led to another, I felt inspired to do a giveaway, so I want to give away my Migration Scarf (see pics above) on Feb 19, the 1 year anniversary of my first Etsy sale.
