I have been up to some sewing lately. Turns out I have myself signed up for the Buffalo Indie Market on September 14th. I figure I better start cranking some stuff out now so I don’t have to pull any all-nighters when it gets closer. Not only that, but another local crafter contacted me about sharing a booth with her at the Quaker Arts Festival. The only bad (and scary) part about it is that it’s the weekend after the Indie Market! AHH!!! Not real sure I can make enough in time.
My new crafty friend Shannon makes the most adorable baby items and we have very similar tastes. I think we’ll have an awesome booth and I am so excited to make a new friend! We’re gonna have a ton of fun. She just started up a blog as well, so check out Babypeas.
Besides the Buffalo Bonnets, I have started making a few bags. Most are my usual quilt lined bags in some of my favorite fabrics. To spice it up a bit I tried a new style – the drawstring bag.
Of course I didn’t come up with it on my own. I never do - I always seem to need a visual. I saw something similar when spending one of my many many hours paging through all the amazing things on Flickr. I think it’s adorable!
Do you like the light up flowers in the background?! I saw them at our nursery when I was spending loads of money on new plants for our garden. They were too cute, so I had to spend some money on fake flowers as well.
On another note, there’s another fabulous giveaway! This one is from Kaytiebugs and it’s for a Double Ruffle Femme Skirt. I love it! Check it out.
i am totally psyched about our upcoming show! We can totally DO this !

I really love these bags, especially the styles in Pop Garden and Freshcut. The drawstring style looks great! Perfect size. Are they your own pattern? Very nice!

Hey Tina...I love your work! Those bonnets are too cute!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'm from Western New York too (Chautauqua county) but am living in Chicago right now. I'd love to move back out to the area sometime soon though. I look forward to keeping up with your stuff! Good luck stocking up for your upcoming displays!
