Well hello there! Sorry I've been M.I.A. this week. There has been sickness in the house, and for once, I've been sicker than everyone else, which has sucked! There has also been craziness in the house: I had a big custom holiday order due in the mail yesterday (I washed my hands a lot, don't worry). Throw in the usual amount of sleep deprivation and two-small-children-in-need-of-attention shenanigans. Stir. And you get one overwhelmed, pooped out mama!
I've missed this place though and have so many things to share! I've been cranking out a bunch of stuff for the Etsy shop, both because the holidays are coming and I would like it somewhat stocked, and because I am on inspiration overload lately. Too. Many. Ideas. But, I should backtrack a little and show you the birthday gift I finally finished for my mom.
My mom's birthday is on July 26. I'm a little bit late, ahem. Originally, I wanted to make her a pocket pouch, using jute upholstery tape as an embellishment somehow. I got stuck on that idea and couldn't figure out how to make it work. I shelved it for a while, then decided to use linen instead and to round up the bottom and add some darts, a little bit like that clutch.
