Fresh in the Shop

These cutie hooties are in the shop now. Next weekend I do have a show here in the hood, so get them while you can. More creations are coming, hope you're not sick of the hooties. Let me know what you think....

New Bag Design

Here is the new handbag style. It's something that I worked on for awhile, I know it looks simple enough but it took me awhile to get it just right. After doing 5 of these babes the bias is looking much better. not that it was terrible before. But the process is much smoother and less time consuming then at first.

Now I am on to some comp book covers. They are fun and easy, I need a brain break before I start another "new" project. I do have another handbag style coming soon. It's actually a draft from the new Vandie bag that didn't work out. I wanted a bag with a pleated top and I think this is the one!

Hopefully more aprons are on the way as well! Lots of ideas in my head that need to be created!

If you are in the East Nashville area next Sunday Sept 7th stop by the Lipstick Lounge on Woodland for the CRAFT event and say HI. You will be able to see the new Vandie bag as well as the new Sweet Tweets.

For those not in the area I am listing in my etsy shop as well.

Day of the Dead bag

I realize I haven't posted in a few days and want to give you a little sneak peek of the spring line.
I really love this bag, I think it's the bright happy colors. It was snowing the day I was cutting out the bags so it helped me feel a little warmer inside. The lining was purchased separately and I feel like it was the perfect match. Most of the time I pick the lining after the bag is made and I hit the big score with this one. I have posted the bag in the shop if you are interested. Remember all White Cottage Design creations are stitched one at a time and I do not mass produce, so if it's calling your name you better nab it up. Feel free to comment, I want to hear from you!!

Nashville Etsy Street Team

We have just had our first Nashville Etsy Street Team meeting this past Saturday with about 15 members present. This is very exciting! I have been on etsy since about November 2007 and honestly haven't had a lot of luck. So I am all eyes and ears to learn "how to" create a better shop and help some of my crafters along the way. Whats etsy you say? What? You have never been to the land of all things created by hand? As soon as you finish reading this go to the etsy side bar and shop! Be sure to go to the Nashville my space @ www.myspace.com/nashvegasstreetteam. We also have a flickr account @ /flickr.com/groups/nashvegashandmade/

Be prepared for some major eye candy from this talented group. I'm thinking we all are looking for that special valentine gift for that special somebody. What could be better than a one of a kind item handmade item? I know I have seem several things I would like for myself. Let's go shopping!
