I am sorry I have neglected my blog for awhile. I have another musical blog that I started and I guess I am having trouble keeping up with both blogs. However, I have also been creating some new things along the way. I am into designing totes and purses lately and am having fun doing it. I always try to incorporate my tatting into what I make, and these totes are no exception. Let me know what you think of my new items!
The above purse has been a very popular purchase on Etsy. I have sold several of them to new brides for their wedding day. I have added vintage lace that I find at antique stores, along with my tatting and handmade flower with vintage pearls.
On the above tote, I added my hand quilted pinwheel square. I started this as a quilt, but I guess I do not have the patience to make a whole quilt, so I decided to incorporate my quilt squares into the tote, along with my tatting. This is much more enjoyable to make!
This tote would look great with jeans or a summer dress!
Above, you see another one of my hand quilted squares. These are large totes and can hold, lap top computers, iPads, books, or used as an overnight bag.
