Mad as the March Hare!

It's March and I don't know where the time has gone! After a busy and lovely Christmas my poor children caught a nasty stomach bug for a few weeks, which set us all back.  But both are well again and after getting back to school briefly, are now off for their Easter break, and I am really looking forward to spending some time with them, in good health!   In the meantime I have had my head down, marketing, designing and of course sewing! I have been working with a leather worker this month and hopefully I should have my own bespoke leather handles for my large "Betty" tote bag within a week or two.  This has been a long process, not only to find a good leather worker who can help, but also coming up with a design and working out whether it will be cost effective for both him and myself.  I can't wait for the end result, and will post a picture as soon as I have my very first pair.  In the meantime production has been good, and I have many lovely bags finished, and awaiting their new handles.  I am also in the process of building my new website which will allow you to buy directly from me, again the details of which will be posted shortly on my blog.
