Hello and Welcome

Greetings!  This is my very first blog entry, so please don't expect it to be very exciting or interesting.  I just wanted to lay out the topics that I plan to follow.

I will focus mainly on my daily exploits of designing handbags from everyday materials.  All of my products are up-cycled, and in most cases donated to me by people who think they are not wearable anymore.  I intend to prove them wrong!  No matter how "out of style" you think something is, I can make it something else all together, and being it into current fashion.

My clothing designs are original, and not generally up-cycled.  I try to use all natural materials, however cost is sometimes an issue, so pleae don't hold it against me if I have some synthetics mentioned. :)

As a deisgner with no formal tr aining of any kind, a lot of my wins come through trial and error.  I will be sharing the "Oops! moments as well, and feedback is always appreciated.  Hopefully we can all learn together.

I look forward to this experience, and I hope you do to!
