Christmas Eve

So, sadly I'm sitting here a my job waiting until 5pm to get the heck out of here......I can't wait until I am making my handbags full time and I don't have to worry about sitting at the computer. I'll just be sitting at my sewing machine. I'm also axniously waiting for the call to set up my travel arrangements to go to FL for an interview....I'm super excited about that.

Happy Holidays!!!!

New orders to fill

I have several orders to fill this week end and I have a lot more wristlets to make for Christmas gifts. Tonight I got 3 wristlets made and cut out the fabric for 4 more and a large purse. Tomorrow night when I get home I need to make as many as possible. I am a major procrastinator, obviously. Here are 2 pics of my latest order I had to fill. It was a special request so I got 2 yards of the fabric b/c I figured I could sell a ton here in Baltimore.



My Birthday

This Saturday was my birthday so my friends and I partied at the local Greene Turtle and got to see my friends band play....it was a great night.


Corinna, Stricker (bro in law), me and Steph (sis)

I love love love NYC, I was able to go for 2 days last week for work (didn't really work that much). It's such an exciting city with so much going on, I need to move up there and sell my bags on the street, hehe......here are some pics from my trip.





It started snowing when we got to the hotel......so beautiful


A beautiful building in Soho


Of all of the times I've been to NYC, I've never seen Grand Central Station.....It was amazing!!!!!

Christmas Party 2008

Saturday December the 13th my friend Desiree and I had a Christmas Party at my house. It was so much fun. Desiree brought Balderdash and a handful of people play that while the rest chatted in the other room. After a while when everyone was there we did the White Elephant gift exchange. It was so much fun......here are some pics of the fabulous gifts people brought.



Stricker (my brother in law) with the gift that I ended up with on his head....Thanks Corinna for bringing the strainer, I love it!!!!!

Chris ended up with the meat carver that Desiree was so happy about.....


Lauren brought the owl figurine (of course) and said she was hoping my sister would get it since she knows that my sister called her the owl girl....hehe. Well Desiree (or Chris) ended up with it.


It looks like Christmas morning after all of the presants were openind.....

My Christmas Tree


This is my first Christmas by myself and with a "real" tree. I got a fake tree at Micheal's and it's super cute. I decorated it with pink and green balls and wraped fabric around the bottom that is pink with a green print.....I'm so proud of it and I love the silver star on top.
