My Mom decides her gift!

My Mom calls me up the other day and say " I want a tote bag it has to be neutral color and small and have at least 3 velcro closures on it. " I said ok , but can you please help me out with the color? She says " oh it doesn't matter just nothing to wild and how much are they?" I said Mom you don't have to pay me. Then she gets all upset and says yes I do- so I said I will make you one for Mother's Day. Well, she agrees with that and off I go to fabric store. Now I leave over 3000 miles away from dear old Mom so I am clueless what to buy. So I played it safe and got this very sweet fabric and made this tote. One thing I know I can count on with my Mom is her brutal honesty. If she doen't like it she will tell me!!! Wish me luck!!!

After much trial and error I was able to finish this bag today. It is not a difficult bag to make but I was constantly being interupted by other things and people. Although I normally can multi task laundry, dishes, taking dog out and sewing, today was just not my day to keep my thoughts focused. But I did finish it and wanted to add it to my shop. Thanks Mom for the fabric!!!!

Wild baby wild!!!

Is this not the wildest fabric- I made a large catch all clutch for my etsy shop, because I thought as a purse or tote it would be just "to intense"!!! But one thing I have learned since I started selling is that alot of women like that "wild look" so we will see.!!!!!

Trying to get my pic's for etsy shop more clear and crisp!! Here is just one of them that I improved!!! I really feel like I spend way to much time working on this ----- computer then at my sewing machine. So starting next week I am goint to creat a creative schedule and really try to stick to it!!! I mean it!!!! I really am not going to be tempted to log on for just "5 minutes"!!!
