"Pondering"....

When I don't feel particularly well, I go inward...

Sometimes to heal my body....

Other times to heal my soul.

This week was a little of both.

 I really enjoy sewing and creating during this time

And can actually get a lot done which always makes me feel much better.

This little handbag is a tea dyed version of the one I  recently had featured in

Somerset Haute Handbags.

I adore the black velvet rose which adds wonderful depth to the lace.

 The inside reminds me a little of a venus fly trap,

But since there is no actual closure for the bag,

This works well to keep your things inside.

One of my newest designs....

Made simply from a silk tufted jaboe curtain

With gorgeous antique French lace.

 I like the way it hangs, is a lot more durable than you would think,

And holds a ton of stuff.

 I also almost  finished this special order sweater.

Just a few more rows of ribbon and lace.

It will be leaving here today.....

 And this is the label they are all sold under.......

But I've been thinking I would like a "name" instead of an "emotion"

Associated with my line of clothing.......

 I really like "Nettie Jane" as it was my Grandmother's name.

I wish I had wonderful stories to tell about her, but she died when I was very young.

I remember her being an incredibly strong willed woman and very mysterioius to me.

It just looks a little "commercial" to me.

 So I tried this one.....

Jury is still out on whether I will change or not.

I'm "pondering".

 Thanks for stopping by today....

You know I love it when you come.
