OK, it is hard for me not to talk about what all I am doing...so here goes.
LFW is making some changes. All of them for the better! The biggest change is that we are going to start allowing you the client to have more choices about the handbags that you purchase. More say in the design....and every say in the fabric. You will design your own handbag. Doesn't that sound like fun? Of course there will always be ready-made bags for your immediate purchase.....we wouldn't dare take that away!
But first, (and isn't there always a
but ?) the sewing studio has to go under some serious renovations. All of you who know me, know that I do truly LOVE to redecorate, so a few renovations shouldn't hurt me to badly!!!
As you know, the studio is currently white. Originally it was blue, and blue is my favorite color, but for a studio it just wasn't working, and white seemed a safe choice. Well, now that I have a clear picture of where I want to go with the studio I had to make decisions on color. Years ago when the webdesigner was working on our website, she said I had to choose 3 colors. THREE. I was stumped, and had no idea what I wanted.....I had some idea of what I did not want, but as for what I wanted I didn't even know where to begin....at that time the hottest selling handbag was one that I called "Happy Plaid" (and how I would love to still have a bolt or two of that laying around!). Happy Plaid was a white background with pink, apple green and turquoise....so that morning I chose those 3 colors and I think they have looked great on the site. So, fast forward to this morning when I stood in Lowes trying to decide what colors I would choose for the newly remodeled studio, and once again I called on "Happy Plaid". Pink, Apple Green, and Turquoise. Pale pink is going on the wall this afternoon....we'll see if I made the right decision!
Any way.....the point of this blog is to let you know that soon you will be able to pick out your fabrics, and have your bag customized just for you.
I am aiming for the middle of August, but will keep you updated on the progress....of course there will be a big Open House to celebrate, and to let you begin designing you wonderful LFW Handbags!
Y'all have a great week......

Until today, I have not been very motivated to get my studio underway....although I had already finished 2 of the walls, I have not had the desire to finish painting the other 2. So, this morning when Hunter, my sweet little step-son, decided that he would love to paint, I thougth "Why not?". Karl, my dear husband, will do almost anything for me, he will build whatever I want (more on that later!), he will shop all day long if I want to, just whatever I want to do is always fine with him, BUT HE WILL NOT PAINT. Not for anything. The answer is NO. So, when Hunter offered to help me today I quickly took him up on his offer.
