Happy New Year!


Today it was 74 °F (23 °C) and partly sunny here in beautiful St. Augustine, Florida. It was a perfect day for being out and about. The image above was taken at around noon. Tom and I biked for several hours stopping only to watch the waves and to grab a bite to eat at our favorite Chinese restaurant. 



Above is a sneak preview of work in progress at the studio. These Satchels are made from 100% eco-friendly hemp that is hand woven and hand dyed. This textile has a linen/burlap look and the colors are so earthy and gorgeous. These bags will be completed and available in the Pesky Cat Designs shop tomorrow afternoon. More bags are in various states of completion right now and should be listed in my shop by the end of next week. For the new year I'm thinking flower power, boho, rustic, folklore, indie, patchwork and denim. Earthy and natural. Not sure how many of these ideas will be transformed into handbags but if you stay tuned you'll find out!

Wishing you all a wonderful New Year ahead filled with peace, health and happiness!

I have a feeling 2011 will be a Pesky Cat Designs' year - can't wait to see all the new surprises from your shop!

We had a sunny New Year's day yesterday too, perhaps slightly cooler (a degree or two above freezing...).
Glad you like the keychain, if you are up to another sewing challenge, just let me know ;)

Happy New Year- I like the bags-just perfect for spring. It does sound like we had the same idea for a lovely sunny day-enjoy the weekend- Too bad we cannot get the kitties together for a day at the beach.

I look forward to reading many more posts from you.

Happy New Year!! Sounds like a wonderful day! While it was warm here in Buffalo...not quite as warm as that. Now it is bitter cold.

New Harris Tweed Purses

Harris Tweed Color Block Purse This week in the studio I did some experimenting combining various Harris Tweed weaves to create a purse. This purse is also a new design measuring at approximately 14" wide, 8.5" high and 2.5" deep. Roomy enough to fit your daily essentials with a stream-lined design to fit comfortably under your arm. Harris Tweed Color Block Purse The purse above is made from Harris Tweed wool in two plain weaves and a barleycorn weave. I love the contrasting colors and textures. Back view of purses above. Harris Tweed Two Tone Bag And last but not least, a basket/tote design, using a lovely blue Harris Tweed plain weave and a Macleod check. All these new bags are now available at the Pesky Cat Designs shop. Wishing everyone a great weekend ahead!
