Pink Floyd   Bowie   Red Hot Chili Peppers  Hand-painted hazmat suit with images from Pink Floyd The Wall. This is still a work in progress. Plan to wear to a Halloween party this year. Below shows back of suit.  Closet door painted by me as a teenager around 1980. Music and art has always been a big part of my life. In the past year I have added a music-inspired collection of bags to my shop. The appliques are hand-cut and then machine stitched to the bag. No two bags are ever exactly alike. One-of-a-kind and all handmade by me in my studio from start to finish. See the entire collection here. 

October this year was Pesky Cat Designs 10 year Anniversary! Although I've had an outside job for all those years I always made time for my creative endeavors. I have a Bachelor of Science degree but did originally attend an university of the arts. I painted for many years and then later discovered my love for creating handbags. This month I had two sales from a customer that has purchased 18 handbags from my shop! It really made my day to realize I have so many loyal customers. They have made it possible for me to keep creating and doing what gives me so much joy!

I recently took a mini vacation when a good friend from out of town came to visit. We relaxed on the beach, took walks downtown, explored historical sites and more. I had a wonderful time!  Downtown St. Augustine. Path to the beach. Spotted on the beach. A sandman with a horseshoe crab head. Anni enjoying the view from the balcony. Now it's time to get busy in the studio. I am currently working on a batch of purses made from corduroy adorned with bird appliques. I absolutely love corduroy and have a nice selection of sturdy upholstery grade in a variety of colors including olive green, burnt orange, slate gray and cherry red.  Should have the first batch in the SHOP this Wednesday. Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead!

My purses and bags made with Liberty of London fabric have been selling quickly. I will be working to restock as quickly as I can for the holiday gift-giving season. But keep in mind I have a limited amount of this wonderful fabric in stock so if you see something you like grab it.
