A clutch out of the same soft cobalt blue leather and a great mid-size bag with two straps. (Thank you, Shannon, for your suggestion.) I’ll be posting both on Etsy later today and then I will be out of touch for the next few days, enjoying all the wedding festivities. Enjoy your day.

rugs travelling to TO
I’m having a show in Toronto, opening September 28. Some of my rugs and other hooked pieces will be there, but also some canvas and recycled woollen things. More details to come, including information about the hooking workshop which is being held in conjunction with the show.
pumpkin limoux bag
This bag is made from a small remnant of beautiful pumpkin leather. This is my favourite size of bag–11.5 x 9.5 x 3″–big enough to hold wallet, phone and other necessities, but small enough to be comfortable. The cross-body strap can be knotted to carry the bag on one shoulder, tucked under your arm. It also has an outside pocket, a must for me, just big enough to carry subway tokens or a couple of keys.
However, my favourite part about this bag is the lining. It is a great orange and lemon remnant from a shop on the market square in Limoux. I’ve screen printed the bird with attitude inside and added a zipper pocket.
All in all, a great everyday bag.

Feedback and ideas come from many sources. There is a great woman at my local bank who always comments on my purses. She wears a small cross-body pouch to hold the various cards she needs for her daily routine. She suggested I try to make one, approximately 6″x 6″. So here is the prototype–Jan–made from a red leather jacket. I have some bright green leather, the sleeve of a batwing jacket, and I am hoping to transform it into a second one. The lining of this one is one of my favourite cotton prints. The pouch has a snap closure, a small pocket and rivet detail.
