Featured on Sweet Figments

Posted by Lova on June 26, 2008

My travel organizer has been featured in Sweet Figments blog (thanks Connie).  Sweet Figments only features handmade items so if you fancy a chance of being featured in the site, submit your items in the Sweet Figments flickr group (wonderful free marketing!).

I have been busy with custom orders, this one is for a lovely lady who wanted a compact organizer that incorporates a purse/wallet and pockets for cheques.

I am planning to make another one that is big enough to carry a whole cheque book. But for now I have to finish a portfolio organiser for Kate and then I’m off to Barcelona for a well deserved break.

My first bag featured on etsy treasury

Posted by Lova on June 10, 2008

7holli selected me to be on her etsy treasury list (thanks so much 7holli). I can’t copy and paste the pictures but if you click here you will be directed to the page before it expires. She selected the messenger bag below, and it is actually my best selling bag at the moment.

7holli has some wonderful fine art (and some jewellery) for sale  in her etsy shop, click here to view her shop.

More organizers

Posted by Lova on June 9, 2008

Kate from Stitched with love kindly featured one of my passport cover on her blog, I was nicely surprised and glad to read on her blog that she features lots of etsy sellers from whom she buys, I think it is really a good idea so if you want to cross-promote with me then please contact me. Kate makes lovely items, including the ones below who would be perfect for seamstresses like us: the first one is a needle case/scissor fob set and the second item is a bookmark.

I’m still busy learning about etsy and following other sellers’ advices, one of them is to list often, so I have been sewing bits and pieces and listing them every so often although when I’ve just finished making something I really like I’m so tempted to list it straight away. Which I did with the organizers below.

Well, I made a portfolio organizer a while ago, and wanted something smaller that could be carried in a small bag, so came up with this purse wallet organizer that comes with a mini notepad:

Then I got several ideas on how to modify it for different purposes and one of them is this travel wallet organizer which allows you to carry your passport, cards etc but best of all has 2 purses for your usual money and your travel money. Later on I’ll also offer the option of having the purses removable for added usability.

I’m still working on the new laptop sleeve, but hope to finish it soon so will blog about that later.
