My latest tote

So here is a new pattern that I made and I really like it! I have plans to make some more styles that are similar to this....it's a great size bag and you can fit so much in it!

When things don't go as planned

Sometimes...things just don't go as planned. I had planned on getting so much done all day today...and instead spent my day doing other things....for more on that read here.

I do want to share with you another creation of mine...it is a great handbag to take to the market....a cute shopping bag!

Check it out!

I know I had said that I would post more on etsy....but I couldn't find the time today with all the other things happening in our house. I will be at home tomorrow morning..so hoping to get this accomplished then...without any interruptions....ahh....I can't wait!

Thanks for hanging in there y'all! Between not finding my camera and extra "errands" that happened this weekend....it was hard to find time to sit down in front of the computer.

I have more to show....so hang in there! And look for a "handbag" giveaway....coming this week!

Here is just a taste

Of just what is in store....My day has not gone as planned....but I am finally home from being away all afternoon and wanted to share with you the first 8 bags I will be adding to etsy tonight!

I have a total of 20 bags to sell....and will add more tomorrow......but in just a few hours....I am open for business!

I hope you love the patterns...I know that I do! In fact...there a couple I would love to keep for myself...LOL! Even the hubby has his favorites!....as you can see below all are pretty much the same style...as I love carrying this handbag around...but some have pockets...some do not and the green polka dot below is a larger bag that could be used for a diaper bag.

Enjoy! And be sure to check out my etsy site (I will have a link on my blog in just a bit!)!

Thanks for all of your support!

Coming today!

Due to some technical difficulties (ummmm can't find my camera!) I am delayed in showing you all the handbags I have been working on....I promise by the end of the day....Anna Phyllis Designs will be open for business!
