Well here it is!

Ok I had this totally cool idea in my head, I was going to design my own bag and make it with this new fabric I just fell in love with. Its Denyse Schmidt’s new fabric Katie Jump Rope. Its just way too cute, I love each and every one, so I decided to order some form ebay. I was so excited when it came it was like it was Christmas! LoL. So I found this really awesome blog called Sew Mama Sew, and they have a contest that you can put any of your bags that you make into their contest so when I got the new fabric I totally thought that making a new bag with my new fabric would be the perfect opportunity. I am totally inspired by Lisa’s bags from the Pink Lemonade Boutique they are just so awesome I love all the colors and patterns she uses… awww I just LOVE them! So I decided to make one similar in idea to hers with my new favorite fabrics. So I sketched out something that I thought would be a good shape and started to make a pattern to cut my fabrics out with… I do have some experience in design way long ago I was in interior design school long long before I had kids, but the drafting and design are still in me even if I did switch majors to Nursing. I was pretty happy with the way the pattern turned out. And I then decided to cut my precious fabrics. It took me 2 days to sew this one bag, but I wanted it to be perfect and I ran out of thread and only sewing when the baby naps is kind of hard, but with it all said and done, I am in love with it. My boyfriend did say that its too colorful but what do guys now? I mean really I love all the colors together, they are just way too fun… But lets let every one see the bag already huh? Well Here it is…..

What do you all think? It’s just so cool, I really am impressed with my self I have never made anything without a pattern that I bough so I am just so excited that it came together just the way I saw it in my head…

Well with all that excitement I think I will try to make my self another pretty and I’m off to the design board once again… Until next time….

Oh and totally go and check out the Contest, you have till monday to submit your entry...

Pretties....

Here are some of my pretties...



This is one of my favorite ones so far... I just love the Amy Butler Fabric....

I really have a thing for paisley lately... It has to be one of my favorite types of print. Its pretty odd because I really use to be into flowers but the paisley has awesome movement that I am totally drawn to it. There are some other great new fabrics out there too... that I am dying to get my hands on... I have to go check the fabric store that is a few cities away they usually carry all the new cool fabrics maybe in a few weeks I will get to go and check out them. I totally want to check out the Amy Butler lines, Heather Bailey, Anna Marie's new stuff, and Joel Dewberry just to name a few of my new favorites... I just get so excited about all the new fabrics, so much that I dream about what to make next with them...

Until then...

Not too sure how this whole thing works....

Well I finally decided to make my own blog after being addicted to reading other peoples my self. (I read about 30+ a day) My name is Karie, and I am a single mom to 3 wonderful boys all under the age of 6... I have a pretty exciting and never dull life to say the least. My oldest NP is 5 and a half, the middle CR is 4 and a half and the baby is DT and he is almost 21 months old. I go to school right now to be hopefully a nurse, but with 3 kids and them all being so young it makes it kind of hard to get school done as fast as I would like. But I know that all good things come to those who wait. I am also in the process of starting my own business. Which explains the name of my blog, "Karie's Creations." I love to sew and have probably since I was 4 or 5 years old, thanks to a wonderful grandmother who always taught me as she was sewing and doing many of her wonderful craft projects. She was a great inspiration to me... I will always be thankful to her for all the skills and craftiness she has taught me. I am pretty much always working on something, right now I am really into sewing (quilting, handbags and clothing well just about anything), and I also enjoy decorative painting.scrap booking, and photography.

My new adventure, Karie's Creations, will be more towards the sewing end with diaper bags and children's clothing. I really enjoy sewing it is a great way to get some "Me" time which is kind of hard to do with 3 children, making my sewing way more important to me... Its just a relaxing thing to do.

Well I should be going now... I have to get some pictures shot to post on here so everyone can see all of my favorite things, and creations.

until then....

Karie
