Hey yall!…it has been a very windy couple of days so I have been inside….I have thee worst allergies in the world….with finals coming up fast, I haven’t had a lot of time to sew….I did manage to make a tote bag though….it was my first applique bag I ever created….when finals are over, I am challenging myself to sew through Lisa Lam’s new book “A Bag For All Reasons”….(I love that little lady)…she has some super cool bags in there….matter of fact the first one is a IPad case that is very cute….although I will probably alter it to make it more “purse-y” because I dont own an IPad! LOL….I was also able to get some super cool striped fabric that will be super cute maxi skirts after finals as well!….Hancock’s is having a bad arse sale on everything right now…I took advantage……I know I should be writing but I have to sew something first…..hehehehe!…ttys…..

Hey folks! Just wanted to drop a few quick lines and share my new skirt with you!…  I have been sewing a few things but this one seems to have become my favorite….the Maxi Skirt….I will undoubtedly be living in these for the season because they are just so cute and comfy!…I am visiting the fabric store to make another one to match some new flats I purchased the other day….Sewing is a habit I wont even try to break…..Sew Forever!….ttys!

Now I know I have been gone for a while but I am glad to report that things have been okay….Little glitches here and there but nothing that made any real difference….I have been on the clothes rage because every spring and summer I live in skirts and maxi dresses and big, big bags….well this go round nothing has changed but I get to make my own!….LUCKY ME because I sew now and I can create my own beautiful skirts nad dresses in my own style and on my own time…..I also recently discovered MiMi G…..OMG is all I will say and go and look her up when you get a chance….if you dont sew, you will seriously consider it when you see what she is constantly up to…..I love her enough said…..I made another Bucket Bag (courtesy of my favorite bag lady Lisa Lam) yesterday for my aunt and I will include a photo of it with this post too……I have created two pencils skirts, one for me and one for my daughter, and I made a maxi dress too…I didnt take any photos of it though, I think it needs more done to it anyway…..Oh, did I mention that I have an “A” in Statistics!!!!!?????…well I do and this will look reallll good on my transcripts…..I dont want to make too long of a post and I know you are itching to see those photos…well are you?…LOL…j/k….ttys….

How is everyone!?…Guess what?…I participated in my first handmade event this past weekend!…I must say it was a GOOD time…..I originally thought I was going to be unable to partipate; I found out last minute sorta….I was contacted right before the event though and was invited to show off my goods!…..I met some of the craftiest people with some of the best personalities….I would do it all over again…even though my display could have used more “display”….LOL…I will surely be ready next time….My super supportive huny was there with me too and we met a buncha other cool people…(remember he paints so he was right at home too)…..My brother walked through the bazaar and it kinda sparked his old interests in drawing…Maybe we will all participate in the next one….The event was held in downtown Fresno at Fulton 55 and was coordinated by the members of The Soulflower Group….we had two floors full of super cool handmade goods; I believe there were 30 vendors! (I am so lucky to have been one huh?)…..the turnout exceeded expectations of the coordinators….Last count was past 850 people!….It was sooooo cool….I want to give a big, giant THANK YOU to Devoya Mayo as well (Devoya was the event coordinator and leading lady in The Soulflower Group and CEO of Hellacrafty which is some of her handmade creations)…..I love the handmade community and extremely proud to be a part of it!  You can take a look at the photos to get a glimpse of the event on my FB page…its kinda too many to upload here…….go to:  https://www.facebook.com/MsKRSPinkStitches to check out the photos……they hardly tell the story of the event though, because there was just so much more to see….Did I mention the event was 5 hours long with a different (super cool) DJ every hour and tasty spirits being served?!?!….AND my friend was there as well, her name is Markeys of One’tta Inspires selling beautiful handmade earrings!!!!!…I was lucky enough to get a pair and cant wait to wear em!…..Well I guess I have talked enough; LOL…until next time!

Happy New Year if I have yet to say it!….Nothing special has been happening, my classes start tomorrow but my books arent here yet…geez…anyway I just thought I would pop in and say Hey to everyone….oh, I took a break from bag making (for like two minutes, LOL) and I made my first makeup brush roll…it came out really good and I know the next one will be perfect….I may make a few more for my Etsy shop; to have a new item in there….I only have bags and pouches now…TTYS….btw, whadaya think of my makeup roll?….
