New Handbag Styles

I just added some new handbags to my shop, Felt Sew Good.

This is the new Madison tote bag, in medium gray with navy and cream stripes.

This the Emma handbag in a beautiful rich burgundy wool with button detail.

The Sabrina is a bit smaller, classic style handbag in a soft chocolate brown with a mother-of-pearl buckle.

And this Jasper style handbag, in oatmeal colored wool is the popular pleated bag.

These bags, and all of the toys and accessories in my shop, Felt Sew Good, have been designed and handmade by me, from felted, recycled wool sweaters.

A Bountiful Harvest!

Even though it's been a sometimes too wet, and kind of cool summer, we are getting a bountiful late harvest of vegetables.



I picked a basket full of tomatoes to make a big batch of chilli. It's great to have in the freezer for an easy homemade meal! And the beautiful bell peppers are great for stuffing, to use with stir fry, pepper steak and also freeze well to use over the winter.

I made the fun collage of my vegetables using the new collage feature in Picnik! Picnik is a photo editing software that you use in your online browser. It has lots of fun photo editing features, and fonts shapes and seasonal graphics that are easy to use.

A Treasury of Handbags and Flowers!

It's always fun and flattering when you find one of your Etsy items listed in a Treaury. Janetexcat listed my Flower Basket Handbag in her current "I would carry these!" Treasury on Etsy.

New Felted Goodness!

As much as I love summer, (aaaah, the warm air, the long days) Autumn will officially be here in a few weeks. So, I decided I had better get busy to restock new items in my Etsy shop, Felt Sew Good!


I've been out shopping the past few days for wool sweaters. Not to wear, of course, but to felt and make into new handbags, toys and accessories!

Here are a few samples of some new felted wool flower brooches and some samples of the latest felted sweaters. Check back here often, or go to my Etsy shop, Felt Sew Good, to see what new creations are availble for purchase.
