Do these tickle your fancy?

All the bags are hand made by me in  my craft room at the bottom of my garden. They are fully lined and reinforced with interfacing and are double stitched for strength. They vary in size and internal construction - full details will be listed with each bag.

They can be spot cleaned if required and should soften with wear.

If you would like to purchase one please either PM me on Ravelry (howieandcharlie) or email me on a_k_s_75@hotmail.com. Prices are listed next to each bag, postage will be additional - Express or Registered Post is my prefered method of postage at this busy time of year. Payment by PayPal (no fees please) or Direct Deposit.

If you have any questions please let me know - thanks!

Fancy a new handbag?

I have been busy down at the bottom of my garden sewing up some lovely denim and cord handbags. I will pop up some pics later tonight and then offer them for sale tomorrow afternoon.

Check back later if you are interested or if you have any special requests for colours or fabric let me know and I will see what I can do :)

Some of my bags

A little bit of crafting........

Hmm - I think I must leave all my computer savyness (or is that saviness?) at work because I  couldn't remember my password to log in to my blog and promptly forgot I even had one :lol

Never fear! I found it again thanks to my foresight that somehow told me to link my embryonic blog to my profile on Ravelry :)

I have been trying to find some time to post a little bit about the crafting that I enjoy doing. My wonderful husband indulges my efforts by letting me set up my space in our spare room at the back of our garden. I have a wonderful sewing set-up and some great wall units filled with yarn and fabric.

It is such a pleasant thing to wander down the back of the garden to my 'Wool Shop' as my girls refer to the craft room, and ponder my choice of yarn for my next project.

I have been busily knitting away, completing some test knits for my designer friends shannon, Stitchymama and Tikki. One day I might pluck up the courage to put my ideas down on paper but for now I'm just a follower when it comes to knits.

What I do enjoy creating from scratch are bags. Handbags, tote bags, messenger style bags - made from cotton, cords, denim and other delightful fabrics. I have made quite a few over the past few years and have gifted them to many and even sold a few here and there.

I will dig out a few photos and share them here over the next few days. Who knows - maybe you or someone you know might be interested in a handbag or two :)

To blog or not to blog......

Well I figured if you can't beat 'em - join them.

So here is my new blog and very first post:)

Now to figure out how this all works!
