Hot off the Press-September 7

The past 3 months have been a whirlwind of crazy.  June was filled with art shows every weekend.  July was full of traveling from an awesome trip to Disney to an adventurous back woods camping trip in the UP.  August was finally the month to chill and of course get the kids ready to go back to school.  Cole started Kindergarten this year.  His afternoon placement has worked out perfect for my work schedule.  I actually have 3 solid uninterrupted hours a DAY to crank out bags.  I can't even imagine the work I will get done next year when I have then ENTIRE day to work.  This weekend I will be at the Downtown Downers Grove Art Festival.  Stop by Booth 39 and say hi.  Saturday and Sunday 10 am to 5 pm.

A few bags Hot off the Press.  What do you think?

Shopper Bag with colorful flower

I decide to take the petals from the flowers and add them to a bag in a different way.  I like they way it turned out.

Back side of XL Bitty. 

2 different way of adding the petals.  Which do you like better? Petals come out from the ribbon or covering the ribbon?

I had a great time last Saturday at the first Chicago Art Girls Pop Up Shop.  We had an amazing turn out.  Shoppers where there ready to buy.  A second one is in the works for mid-December.

The awesome banners Miguel from Helium made for the show.

A view of the crowd.  My booth is the second one on the right.

A friend asked me to make her little guy a bow tie shirt like the one I made Cole.  It turned out so cute.

Love the flame fabric.  So cool!

This week I've been working on a quilted chevron print.  This is my 3rd attempt at it.  At least this time it ended up on a bag and not in my scrap pile.  Still working on the sizing.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Elmhurst last weekend.  I had a great show even with the rain on Sunday.  Lots of restocking this week.  Nothing new.

 

My booth turned into a lake on Sunday.  :-(

New crochet Market Bag made by my friend's mom.  I love it.  Great to take to the Farmer's market or on a picnic.

My baby graduated from Preschool.

Pop up shop is the Saturday. Stop by,  it will be a great one.

This week was much more productive.  I got everything done on my list from last week plus a couple other things.  Mainly getting ready for my sisters Bachelorette party which is Saturday night. I also got my annual Daisy Bags clearance event on the calendar.  It is the biggest sale I have every February.  All sale bags are $25.  Now that is a deal! Okay on with the fun stuff.  Lots of pictures.


My sisters finished Bach party veil.  Modeled by the lovely Lucy.

Little feather clips for all the guests.

Valentine's hair clips and headbands.  Modeled by Cole.  He wasn't very happy-good thing you can't see his face.

My recovered dining room chairs.

And last but not least.  Lucy's fun poodle skirt for her Girl Scout's Sop Hop.

First Art show rejection of the year.

The first one always hurts. 

Rejection is never fun. 

At least with Daisy Bags, it just make me want to make them better.  Always looking to make them more original and brighter pieces of art.

Working on new Sail Bags this week.  Love the sail fabric.
