Record Bag

For Christmas this year my family decided to do "secrete Santa". A couple months ago we found out who in the family we were to gift. I got my sister's Fiance Rafael who is a wonderful musician. His newest solo work called Las Palabras, just came out on 7" and MP3.

Since he makes the music, I thought I would sew him a hand embroidered record bag!
It's about 14" square, fully lined with bright yellow oil cloth, with a 1 1/2in. adjustable strap. It was super fun to make, which makes me think I will be making more in the coming months.

LPs are definitely back in style, and what better way to celebrate that by carrying them around in a hand embroidered bag!

Santa is a procrastinator

It's definitely Christmas time and I'm still working on my hand-made gifts.. I love to procrastinate! But it's now or never, so I'm locking myself in my sewing room and not budging till everything is just right!

Christmas is always a little stressful but it's definitely one of my favorite times of year... So, a happy Holidays to all and a very happy New Year!

Party Sucess!

The Party Thursday night was a roudy good time. Holiday cheer is here!
Thank you to all my lovely friends who made it. It was wonderful to see everyone.



The Front Junk band supplied the party with the sweet, roudy, stomp your feet music.

Octopus

Octopi are amazing creatures. With no internal or external skeleton they can fit into any space, they change color, and eat crabs and other shellfish. Mmmmm.. Crab...

Here's my newest bag with hand embroidered Octopus. You can see/purchase it this weekend at Fourth and Clay Open Studio.
