The first time I made the Teddy Mommy and Me Backpack from RLR Creations, the number of pieces made me realize I wasn't charging enough. Then I raised the price and someone was still willing to order one, which blew my mind! It IS an amazing bag, but the amount of work that goes into it is kind of daunting.

Pretty sure I blinked and lost a month! I know I got stuff done, and things happened, but it has all blurred together at this point...hopefully July doesn't fly by as fast!

I was super lucky to be picked to test out this new bag from RLR Creations, The Nova Sling Bag is a pretty amazing bag -- it converts from a shoulder bag to sling bag, to a backpack!

| A totally fun bag! |
The newest release from ChrisW designs is this adorable little purse, the Quick No Zip! As you might guess from the name, there are no zippers involved in making this bag!

It seems like lately I've only had time for these quick update posts, but tomorrow I get to share one of the patterns I tested! I just need more hours in the day to spend writing up and editing the posts... The good news is that while I'm falling behind on sharing the pictures and details, I'm NOT falling behind on getting things done!

It seems like my work comes in waves...I was down to just a few wallets and then I signed up to do a bunch more stuff, more wallets came in, and I have strike fabric to sew up -- all that needs done very soon! Instead of rushing through stuff, I'm still taking my time and trying to enjoy the process...that will probably come back to bite me in the butt when I get closer to the deadlines! Even my blog posts have slowed down, not because I ran out of stuff to share, but because I seem to need more hours in the day to do everything!

| Always asking the important questions... |
When I get a request from one of my brothers for me to make them something, I get excited! For some reason they aren't really into purses... however, one of them asked me for a wallet for his birthday. The requirements were a)doesn't make his pocket sweaty b)Not HUGE. I found a few patterns, and then went to town.
