I've been busy this month gearing up for a local holiday market and getting ready for selling offline a bit. I made lots of pouches and aprons, most of which will end up on my website StyleTantrum.com. I am hoping to consolidate most of my work there as well as having some listings elsewhere. For now my wedding designs will be there and also at Artfire for the moment. I am feeling a need to get my website up to speed so that I can express my own vision a bit more. Venues are great for chatting and keeping up with other sellers, but in my case can be a drain on time. I think it will work better to simply settle down to 1 or 2 and get back to designing!!
I am excited to again be able to feature some of the accessories I enjoy making from time to time. I like to create cell and laptop cases and love making these in vinyl. I carry my own cell in a vinyl zip case with a strap and keyring to keep everything together. If I want to go without a bag, I can just add a driver's license and credit/debit card and off I go. Sometimes, when I know I will not have pockets or be able to keep up, I use the little hipslinger hip belt bag. I love this and find it really cute and not nearly as troublesome as keeping up with a cell bag jiggling...like on long walks. I made my first hat in a long time too...so more will be coming of these too, I hope. Life is a bit all over the place right now and all my plans are subject to changes in jobs, finances, time, etc. But as far as long range plans go, I hope to keep making things that are wonderful to wear!
