Down Time, But Not Really

So obviously, I've been taking time off from Luscious Handbags to focus on some other projects and just to focus on life too. Funny how life works out though. Even though I have been taking a break, it seems like recently there's been a crazy influx of special order requests for diaper bags.

Funny enough, I forgot to take a pic of the most recent diaper bag I made before passing it on to the new happy owner. But let me just say - it looked HAWT! I was really quite impressed with the way it turned out, and I am sure she was too.

As a result of that, another order for a diaper bag has come in, and I am in the middle of working on that project now. I love the use of funky fabrics and this client chose an amazing orange almost-jacquard type fabric to use for her diaper bag. I should be finished the bag by the end of next week.

Then yesterday, while talking to my massage therapist handbags came up in conversation. She also requested a diaper bag for one of her close friends. The coolest thing about this special order is that I have complete creative control. She told me a few things about what her friend would love, her style, and her favorite colors. I was free to choose the fabrics myself and just show her the end result. This was a bit of added stress for me - but honestly I LOVED it. I picked out some amazing fabric yesterday and will get started next week on this special order too.

Don't worry I will take pics of these last two and post them here when they're both completed.

I still love making handbags, don't get me wrong. In fact I made a super cute one for myself the other day. I guess that diaper bags seem just way more popular right now since it's like everyone is having babies.

Well, that's it from me for a while. I'll be busy with life, and still busy at the sewing machine too!
