My First Wallet!

This past weekend I decided to make myself a new wallet.  My old one had completely fallen apart and I was sick of using it anyways.  Since I first started my carrotpyn business I've had the nagging sense in the back of my head that I should be using a homemade wallet made by me!  I mean, come on, its free advertising pretty much - every time I take out  my wallet to make a purchase I am showing off my product.  And you never know when someone might take notice and say that they like it- which gives me an opportunity to give them a business card...

So here it is:



Please excuse the bad lighting.  I finished it last night and didn't feel like trying to hard to get everything just right.  The light from the day was gone and all I had to work with was my dimming kitchen light so there you have it.

I used some batik fabric which I picked up while in Indonesia last month!  I wish I could have brought back more but there was not enough room in my bag to fit everything.  I hope to go back someday.  Yogyakarta is a beautiful vibrant city.  I've been told Bali is a must see, so its now on my agenda.
