Quick post and then I'm headed off to work. Finally finished up the gallery area of the website for Eclectic Whimsy Bags. Not even sure if I mentioned here what name we decided on but here's the logo. Went with one of the variations from Eclectic Whimsy Designs that I'd come up with quite some time ago. The scrapping for hire website is still a work in progress but hoping to finish that up too in the next week or so. Between sewing bags, working on other areas of the bags site and holidays and once again working 2 jobs helping out at Zeeland Architectural for Kimmy. Never a dull moment.
Anyway, I'll be posting more bags and hoping to finish up a couple more that are on order tonight while I wait for some fabric to come in for other orders. It's looking like my weekend will be busy sewing but still really really enjoying it. I told Jill I could do this all day every day. Each purse is so fun to see come together and finally the website thing is starting to come easier to me too. Fun stuff.
If anyone is interested in a bag posted on the site just email using the link and most often if I get more than one order I either still have or can get fabric to create another of the same bag. Just email and I'll get in touch to arrange payment and shipping. :)
For the last time Shawny, "where the hell is my bag?" LOL J/K

Love the bags and the site!
I just finished the downtown purse and let me say that it was harder than expected... especially using Timtex... getting the handles on the bag with all the hard interfacing nearly drove me crazy--- and almost broke my needles. I'm onto the drawstring purse and it's so much nicer to create this one. Still need to find some nice ribbon for the intersection points of each of the 3 parts. :-) FUN FUN! I'm so addicted to fabric now it's not even funny.

I LOVE the bags! I am absolutely going to order at least one, probably more. I have two questions for you though. Is there a zipper or something to keep the purses closed (or more specifically to keep my toddler out) and what font did you use on the site. I love it!

Wow! You've been hard at work. Love the bags, they're so funky. My favourite has got to be the one with the felt flower. You're doing a terrific job. Keep going.

I think Amy still wants one. I will have to check with her, and then I can pick hers and mine up next weekend! :)
love, me <><
