The Fall and buying to create

It is almost the middle of November and still seasonally warm, cool in the mornings but nice and toasty in the daytime. The holidays are getting closer by the minute and I am constantly thinking of ways to create new things to make. To keep myself interested and challenged, I try to find new and interesting textiles and fabrics to accomplish that. I have a store on ETSY. While searching fabrics one day I found an awesome store. I purchased some bunches of Amy Butler Fabric, Kaffe Kassat and a few others and used these fabrics to make purses and totes that I have pictureg in previous posting on this blog. So,,,,,, the store now is open on the internet with a much larger and broad selection. This site is wonderful for color, patterns and ideas and I hope that you will take the time to check it out. The store is Hawthorne Threads and I have included the link for your perusal pleasures..... I encourage everyone to seek this store out. Hope to hear from you all!!!!http://www.hawthornethreads.com/ Click on the title about fall at the top and youcan go right to Hawthorne Threads. I hope you you will enjoy the sre as much as I do!
Here is my latest purse listed etsy.

My New Bag of Trix

Well, I have been trying out some new ideas. This is one of my own reinventions of the hobo bag. It is made from sturdy striped heavy canvas cotton fabric and the reversed side is chenille fabric from and old 1940's bedspread. I made loops and ties at the bottom of the bag so you can untie and reverse the bag inside out/and reattach the straps on the other side.....You can carry this bag over the shoulder or like a back pack. It is large enough to carry tons of different things. i use mune for carry or holdoing all my craft stuff. Yarns, wools strips, knitting needles(bag is 16" tall. I made a large pocket for the front on both sides as well.

Let me know what you all think..... This is just a beginning....
