WIP Wednesday/Thursday - Last one of 2018!

This year definitely flew by!  I'd love to do a picture collage of everything I've sewn this year, but there were just too many!  Thanks to everyone that has supported me, and I hope you all are enjoying your purses, blankets, keychains, wallets, bears, llamas, lanterns, and everything else!

My favorite movie

I planned on taking the rest of this week and weekend to organize and clean my craft studio, but it turns out that I'd rather do fun stuff instead of cleaning, who could have guessed that? ;)

Coasters on cork fabric, time to make a ton more!

I am starting to discuss new orders this week, with next week being the 'official' reopening of Etsy. Turns out that if I don't have any orders coming in, I get a little antsy and have no focus.  I need deadlines to keep me on track, although not having deadlines means that I can spend an entire day reading books and watching tv without feeling guilty about 'wasting' time :D

Mini backpack change purse keychain, one of the new items I'll offer in 2019!

Check out the etsy shop, and the facebook group for a 10% discount on ready to ship purses!  Use code EOY2018 until December 31 at Tiger In a Tornado.  Or claim the purses listed in the Tiger In A Tornado Creations group!  I need more room to make fun purses!

I never shared this clutch? It's a fun Japanese cat print clutch

Inside is a zipper closure and slip pockets!
