Pesky Cat Designs

These purses were added to the shop last week. Made from faux suede in shades of gray and robin's egg blue.  A glimpse of the studio earlier this month. Feathers, cherry blossoms and birds. Above is a glimpse of the studio this morning. Should have this batch of purses in the shop by tomorrow. I've got lots of ideas at the moment just not enough hours in the day to complete them. My next project is a bag for myself with feather appliques. Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!

Y esterday I had two front pagers on Etsy . Thanks Etsy! My Wayfarer Purse with a cherry blossom applique made it to the front page posted above and was created by an Etsy administrator using the search term "branch". I love all the picks. Featured in this treasury are Kyleanne1, ThalassaJewelry, Joom, BionicBenz, PeskyCatDesigns, SilhouetteBlue, NameSakeDesigns, 4TheSparrowsNest, TrystByKerry, IreneSuchocki, CelesteLaurenDesigns and ThePaperApartment. Yesterday my Pleated Everyday Bag also made it to the front page! See post from 2/08/09 . 

I'll be adding new Wayfarer Purses to the Pesky Cat Designs shop in the next hour or two. After I accomplish that I plan to start a new batch of handbags. It's raining in New York City right now so it's a perfect day to stay in the studio and work. When I have some new works in progress I'll post a sneak preview. 

C orduroy has been popular in my shop this season. It sews up well and I love its casual feel. I just received another shipment of it in olive green, burnt orange, cerulean blue and chocolate brown and I can't wait to put it to use. In the next two weeks I plan to create a new batch of purses using this wonderful fabric.

T oday I'm finishing up some Wayfarer Purses with my newly designed cherry blossom branch applique. I was inspired by images of cherry blossoms and decided to create my own improvised version. I think it works perfect on the Wayfarer . The purses posted above are made of corduroy in olive branch and burnt orange and are adorned by a vintage button. As you can tell they still need to be finished. I should have them available in my shop end of this week. Now I have a little secret just for my readers. I will also have a Wayfarer Purse available with a cat applique! I wanted to create one for a long time and now it has finally arrived. It will also be available in my shop end of this week. If it gets good feedback I plan to make more!
