Check out this modern fashion blog http://simplyolive.blogspot.com/ It's a really stylish blog full of stylish items. It's really cool, and not just because she featured my Strapped Big Bag on May 2, 2009. But of course you should check that out as well.

It begins

Today as I was driving to the fabric store it began to rain hard. 10 minutes later the rain had stopped. The Sun returned, and the streets began to dry. And unlike the last few months where rain meant cool breezes, today it stayed hot. It became muggy and humid. I realized the rainy season is right around the corner. And while I don't mind the rain. With the rain comes the storms. The type of storms that are named. Here in south Florida we know that time of the year known as the hurricane season is looming. And while the hurricane season doesn't officially begin until June 1st, the weather is already turning.

Time keeps on slippin....

So I know I haven't been the most regular poster around. Between making new patterns sketching new ideas and sewing, my spare time gets tight. Oh and lets not forget I twitter and read my followers updates. All of this on top of the fact I still have a job. But I will make the effort and make it here more often. Maybe not quite daily, but more frequently.

I'm here.

Well I’ve finally starting offering my pieces for sale online. I opened my Etsy store a while ago but just never added any products. I thought my new spring pieces would be a good place to start, so “Tada” here they are.


























These are from my Strapped collection. We have the Strapped Big Bag in Tan and white, and the Strapped shoulder bag in white and black denim. Check them out on Etsy at www.definitionofself.etsy.com
