No Camera...No Cry...
No camera makes Buffy a very boring blogger!
When I realized it had been 4 weeks since my last post I cringed. There goes my blogger of the month award. Maybe I have come to rely on pictures a little too much? Perhaps with a little creative writing, I can convince my readers to conjure images of sassy little diaper bags, complete with matching clutch wallets.
Nicole's Bag
Picture a lusciously dark blue denim, paired with a blue paisley print. The depth, the character! The big, beautiful bow, draped across the flap, encompassing the bag as if to give a gentle, uplifting embrace! Isn't it wonderful? I really like this bag. I loved the end result and the denim was so easy to work with!
Drew's Bag
For me, this was a very special bag. Last year friends of ours experienced a loss that I cannot imagine, when their infant son, Drew, passed away due to mitochondrial disease. One year later they have upheld his memory and his struggles with the First Annual Drew Clark Memorial Golf Tournament. There was a call put out for items to be raffled off in a fundraiser and I offered to make a bag for the event. My initial design included a reverse applique design. What I didn't expect, having never done it before, was that the cotton twill would absolutely shred in the process. So instead I used a bit of ruching on the flap. My main fabric was a bright Kelly green, with a black and white interior print. To top it off, I created a small clutch wallet to go with it. Another first, and a pleasant one! Today they are out on the links and although I am sad that I could not make it to the Tournament, I hope everyone is having a great time!
Chrystal's Wallet
I did have a couple concerns with the first wallet I did, so when my sister dropped by yesterday for a few hours, I had her choose fabric and I whipped up another one, with some changes. I'm much happier with the outcome and the black denim with a skull print came out terribly cute!
And In The Future...
I am currently booked up with orders until the end of September, but I am taking new orders for the months of October and November. I won't take on more than one bag per week, so that means I have 8 spots to fill on my calendar. If you are interested in purchasing a BBP bag, you can contact me at closebj@shaw.ca.
