A NYS Fair Update...

My purse in the previous post, "Holly" won Honorable Mention in the Arts & Crafts, Purse Category.
I also entered the white crepe paper rose bridal bouquet that I made for my Sister for her wedding in June...it won 1st Place in the Arts & Crafts, Silk Flower Creations Category.

Both will be on display at the Fair from Thursday Aug 27th through Labor Day! Come check it out!!

Holly

An original design inspired by one of my favorite early evening shows on TV in England, called Hollyoaks.

I have entered this purse in the 2009 NYS Fair for judging in August prior to opening day...
Check back for an update in late August to see if you can view it at the Fair...Hopefully you will be able to!!

This is the purse I currently carry...

This fits well inside other larger bags, making it easy to grab and go if you need to run into a shop.

Made especially for my Sister's Friend....

She had a baby boy...the blue patterned fabric was vey suitable for her style....

inspirations

These bags were some of my start...inspired by Amy Butler and Lazy Girl Designs Patterns...I have since redesigned these styles to make them my own.


For example these in-town-bag...too shallow and not stiff enough, I have modified the measurements and pocket styles.


This Nappy bag was a gift to my Cousin's wife for their first baby girl. I have since modified the style of this bag as well. After feedback from her and my sister who received my 1st go at this one. I now offer a similar bag with some major modifications to measurements, pockets, shape etc. (See the next post for the recent one in Blue) I also decided not to follow the pattern for the accompanying changing pad, so this is my own design as well.


The Miranda bag...one of my favorites to have made.
