Argh

I've been really busy around here the past few days since my Mom was visiting. I'm almost done with a purse, though, so I will definitely post pictures as soon as I have them!
Thanks,
Abbye

Just to be clear

I just wanted to clarify the things that I sell. These things include:
--knitted or crocheted scarves
--crocheted hats
--knitted or crocheted purses with sewn lining
--crocheted afghans
--sewn wallet/change purses
--crocheted hairclips
--knitted or crocheted cotton dishcloths
Please contact me for pricing, as everything is as of now a custom job.
That's it for now. When I expand, I will definitely update here!

More pictures!



Here are some flower hair clips that I put together tonight. The flower is hand-crocheted cotton thread, my own flower pattern. I'm going to sell them for $4 each, or $7 for 2. Hope you like them! Right now I have blue, pink, yellow, and red thread, but I can get more colors easily.
Thanks!

In which there are more pictures of things Abbye has made



Here are some more pictures! The first is of the afghan I made for my Mom's bed. That's a double bed in the picture, and the afghan more than covers it. In the second picture is the little wallet that I made for myself. It is large enough to hold my major cards as well as some cash and still closes comfortably. I also made myself a change purse that is similar to the wallet, but I don't have any pictures of that right now.
I can make both afghans and wallets/change purses for sale. The afghans will take longer, of course, but both are totally customizable, or just tell me what you want and I will design something neat for you!
Thanks,
Abbye

Felting Day

Good morning!
Today I'm going to felt some more purses that I've knitted. Hopefully, they will felt well. I think I'm going to do them separately since one of the purses has white stripes and the other has red, and I don't want the red ending up on the white. Anyway, I'm really excited.
Once I do this (and they dry and get blocked), I'll be ready to start on their linings. I have some really cute cloth to line each of them. One of the purses (the one with white stripes) is pink, white, and black stripes of varying widths. The other one is red and black stripes of the same width throughout (the customer is a Georgia Bulldogs fan). I'm working on another one right now that is pure orange. For that one, I have some lovely white cloth with an awesome orange stripe pattern on it for the lining.
I also need to get started on the purse that I'm giving to my best friend for her birthday. I'm not sure yet if it'll be knitted or just cloth with a stiff interfacing. It's going to be a summer purse, so I haven't decided.
I think that's all for now. I'll try to post pictures of the purse shells before and after felting, so that y'all can see the process. It's pretty neat.
Have a great day,

Pictures, finally



Hey there,

Here are a couple of pictures of the purse that I made.

The exterior is 100% knitted and felted wool, and the interior is cloth. You can customize the color/s of the exterior as well as the color/pattern of the interior (the interior I will do the best I can based on cloth availability). The interior of this particular purse has 2 pockets, one on each side. One is cell phone-sized and the other is larger. You can specify the number and size of the pockets, or even if you want pockets at all. This purse does not have a strap but straps are definitely an option. Also, the purse can come with or without a button.

I am now taking orders, so let me know if you like what you see and I will work some ideas up for you!

Thanks,
Abbye

Apology

Hi there,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. There was a sudden death in my extended family of friends and I have been dealing with that, actually since the day of my last post.
I hope to have pictures soon. Thanks for your patience.

Hello, World!

Hi, I'm Abbye, and this is my public blog for the different things that I make for both myself and for sale. My little business that I have right now is called Personality Handbags, and I make purses and accessories for reasonable prices. I have an Etsy shop, but I don't have anything in it yet, but I'll link to it and you can look at it when I update it! It's georgiastitches.etsy.com, so please check me out!
I think that's all for now. Thanks!
