Hello, hello, hello.  The Lawrenceville Petite Purse will make it's debut here shortly.  I made a prototype and I'm actually pretty happy with the way it turned out.  It's super cute, I have to say.  I'll make a few more and post them probably this week or next.  As with the Lawrenceville sleeves, they are made from scraps so nothing goes to waste.  Some will have embroidery and others applique.  Here's a few pictures and check in over at my shop to see their arrival.

New Collection Preview!!  I made some ereader sleeves.  I'm still tinkering with the measurements but here are a few that I've made.  They have a main pocket for the ereader then a back pocket for any extra's you may have, like a power cord or maybe some little notes.  All closures are done with a zipper.  They are also lightly padded to protect your gadget and this way they aren't bulky either.  Centered in the front is a fun and beautiful fabric burst stitched in a spiral to give texture to the sleeves.  Here are some (too dark, sorry) pictures!!!

I ordered a lot of zippers and they have arrived!!  Now, I can really get to work on this new collection.  I have one month till the Appomattox Railroad Festival to start selling theses suckers.  It'll be the new collection's "soft open."  And if I make it into the Handmade Arcade for the Holidays (fingers crossed),  I'll be selling them there, too.  I haven't decided if I'll be participating in the I Made It Market's I Made it for the Holidays.  I only have 9 more days to decide before applications are due.  I've never been there before and I think I might just want to go as a shopper this year, just to check things out and get some christmas shopping done!

I've named 5 collections already.  I don't need to name another.  People are always asking me when are you making the 'insert your neighborhood here' Collection????  Well, now is your chance.  I want your input on the new collection name!  Just click your choice in the poll on the right column.  This should be fun!

As some of you may already know, I have begun to design a new collection that will come out some time in the early months of 2012.  I'm still searching for the perfect neighborhood to name it after.  In the running thus far are Perry, Polish Hill, and Southside.  I'm leaning toward the Perry or Polish Hill.  We'll see though.  Have any thoughts?
I thought I could let you guys get a sneak peak and follow the design process.  This will be the first post of many to preview the new collection.  Feel free to give some input along the way!  Here are some photos of my preliminary doodles and a test swatch.
