style in stitches

look what came in the mail yesterday! a beautiful copy of amy butler’s book style in stitches. i am so excited. the book itself is almost like a piece of art, it is gorgeous. there are so many amazing choices i can’t decide which one i want to make first.

i would really love to have a few bags in my shop for the holidays. wouldn’t that be lovely? and i would love to give a few away this year as gifts. i just wish there was more time to get some things ready this month. now i know why artists start building up their inventory in the summer. the holidays somehow sneak up on you that is for sure. well at least i will know for next year.

this last picture makes me smile. my daughter was hiding under the table when i was taking the picture. this kind of stuff happens to me all the time. my girls are always in the way when i am trying to take pictures. so i thought i would leave it. anyways, i am off to finish painting some more fabric so i can start on some more handbags.
