day 1

for the first day of my 30 day challenge i actually got 3 things made!

i made these 2 wristlets--each has a different stitched design on them.  both are dark denim with a peach zipper and a orange dotted fabric interior.  the stitched circles are in light teal, peach and navy.  the stitched vertical lines are in light teal and peach.  both have a navy dotted handle. 

this is a newish style bag that i just started making this week--this is the 3rd i've made so far.  it's a slightly bigger version of my cross body bag- it measures 12.5"h x 11"w.  it's hard to photograph correctly w/out showing it on a model.  i did a cream strap with random teal stitches throughout.  the cutest bunny fabric is lined with a hot pink and white print.  it has 1 inside pocket that is half yellow and half geometric print.  this style will be $40 once it gets in my etsy or to a market.  it's always interesting to see how a new style goes over.

ok, day 1 completed.  good.  now maybe i'll cut some things out for tomorrow and finish cleaning my house. 

p.s. i made these collages last week and forgot to post them....
