Lately in the studio

I finished 5 new bags since I've been back.  Here they are:

I'm almost completely out of zippers now so I must go shopping soon or put to use that annoying velcro which I haven't really made my peace with yet... Perhaps its time to come up with a new bag design?

More to come!

Back from the U.S.!

We had fun traveling through Maine, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.  I especially enjoyed seeing family and friends and finally getting to see Farm Sanctuary!  Now that I am back I feel like I am having a vacation hangover.  I could barely get myself to sew for two hours yesterday and then I ate half a pot of lazy vegan mac n cheese and re watched this terrible movie called Father of Invention that we had rented the other night.
Now I am sitting at the Barracks and thankful to be somewhere that is not home.  Soon my batteries will be recharged and I'll start cranking out more product.
Tomorrow I have a meeting with a very talented musician in Fredericton who I'm hoping to collaborate with and make a music video!  More details to come :)

P.S. Check out Farm Sanctuary:
http://www.farmsanctuary.org/
I hear people say all the time "I could never go vegan" but if you are interested in even just eating more veggies I highly suggest getting familiar with motivators through the Farm Sanctuary website.  They have a lot of great information for omnivores and vegetarians alike.  If you are blissfully ignorant about where your McDonald's happy meal comes from and wish to remain so do not visit the site.

Creature Royalty Wristlet

This little guy completely surfaced on his own. I had no plan for this bag when I started and then this guy slowly showed himself to me. Its named Creature Royalty because he has jewels attached to his headband. He might be a caterpillar but whenever I ask him what is going on he just smiles at me mischeviously.

 

Unicorn Magic Bags

What I've been up to

I haven't had a chance to buckle down and take some decent photos of the stuff that I've been making recently so I decided to do an impromptu photo session to show off what I've been working on lately.

I tried to collaborate with Angie on a photo/advertisement, this was the only decent picture I got.  

I just finished off this scarf I started years ago.  

I started knitting a strap but it was coming out too thick so I finished it off early.  I figure it will make a great pocket for a bag.

The Medusa Bag!  I just finished her yesterday.  I'm so proud of my work on this one.

The Medusa bag strap, ain't it shiny?

Finished strap, to be added to a bag soon

Tree bag I'm working on!  Can't wait to show this one off when its complete!

Singing Lady Bag

Here she is:

Mike did a great job modeling for this one.  The singing lady bag is great for wearing over the shoulder, she costs $50.00
Come see her at the Barracks tomorrow!  Woot!

New Bags!

I'll be selling these at the Barracks starting on Monday, so exciting!!!!
