I have been working away on some childrens’ tote bags for my dear Kompadres K & L.  They asked me to make bags as the graduation presents for their students – adorable little munchkins 4 and 5 years old in an all-English preschool and daycare program – and I was happy to help out.

I spent the weekend cutting my fabric and felt appliques, and hopefully I will be able to get these finished in near-record time.  I’m already behind!

While I wasn’t able to do much by way of sewing this weekend, I was able to accomplish something tangible – I set up my Etsy shop!  Woo-hoo!

So far I have listed some traditional Japanese fabrics for sale – both by the half-meter and fat quarter bundles.  And guess what?  The international shipping is affordable!  No more of the international-shipping-costs-more-than-the-purchase-itself nonsense.

I plan on listing some more traditional fabrics before I start listing the super-cute Japanese fabrics everyone in the crafting community loves so much.  You can also expect adorable trims and paper goodies in the future, too.

May life continue to inspire you,

Miss Kaizer
