This Christmas gift is in the books! It was gifted early, because, why wait! I have included the photo path or the build or the How-I-made-this in my 'How-To' section of the web site, for those interested!
 

Little Girl Purses

These little purses are reversible, to give 2 different looks for each one. I also created an insert, that can be moved from purse to purse very easily, and hold all the important stuff every little girl needs to keep near her. The insert protects the purse, so that each side always looks good!

I then added a special clasp, on a tether, to hold the purses closed. Other closures wouldn't have allowed the purse to be fully reversible. The clasp is very pretty.

August Update

It's been a busy spring and summer! I "vacationed", spending weeks visiting family in other states. I went on an Alaskan Cruise, and traveled by train from Seattle to Sacramento, to Chicago, to Washington and then down the coast to Orlando. I lost a dog, built a web site, worked on a business email project, rebuilt this website completely, made and delivered two quilts, and am working on several others.

Early in the year, I was advised that simply purchasing fabric that represents licensed content did not mean that I could use that fabric in another product that I was selling. While this made sense to me from the viewpoint of the original owner of the content, it didn't make sense to me from a consumer standpoint, as I personally made no agreement with the content owner in how I would use the the fabric I purchased. 

I recently learned that the Supreme Court appears to agree with the consumer view. While there will be more lawsuits, I am sure, to really define this decision in full, I think it means I can go back to selling my products! I have resurrected my etsy site, and will be getting more of the products I have made out there to be sold. 

If Your Not Earning, Maybe You're Learning...

Two weeks have now passed since I placed my first Google Ad. I used their suggested Key Words, because they made a lot of sense, and added some of my own. At one week, I trimmed the Key Words up, keeping the words that appeared to resonate the most in searches.

Because I have such a limited inventory, I kept the buy small. I generated 92 clicks to this site, which as you have noticed is NOT an e-commerce site, but no one clicked through and purchased a bag. So, now I must change up the buy, add a bit more to it, and send them to my Etsy shop, to see if that makes a difference.

It's the kind of bag that everyone needs at least one of, this one was gifted!

During the same time, I wrote to a local Farmer's Market, and heard back that they don't have space for me right now, but they will keep my application on file... I am currently writing to other local farmers markets, to see if they have space.
