Christmas Bag

Hi everyone, I hope all of you gals had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My Thanksgiving was full of cooking,  and a lot of vows to stop eating pecan pies ever again-!! LOL
lets talk Christmas; For the sprit of the season I made this Christmas bag, actually I made the pattern myself , and I accented with my brooch to jazz it up.  I will post it in my E-Shop

Have a good week.

I hope you like it as much as I do.

Hi everyone, I hope all you had a good weekend. I thought I will post these two bags, from (Amy Butler's pattern) because I know by midweek most of us will be busy.You can see them on http://honeypotbagsbysamya.bigcartel.com
 I can't wait for Thanksgiving to cook. Armed with the Turkey baster in one hand, and a carving knife in the other hand, Mama is ready-!! Bring it on! Is it normal to get extra exited about cooking for Thanksgiving ?
Anyway, if I do not see you before Thursday, I would love to say:
Happy Thanksgiving, and Enjoy.

I would love to hear from you.

Love,

-Samya ;-)

Feast of colors

Hi everybody! I just wanted to share with you a new project I have been working on for this past week.  Every coin purse is fully lined with a sturdy zipper and embellishment of a crotchet flower.  I set my heart on sewing 24 of them. 12 are done and I just have another 12 to go. I thought these would be really good for Christmastime as stocking stuffers.  I cannot wait to post them on my e-shop.

I hope you like them  as much as I do-!!

Love,

Double the Happiness

Hi everyone,

Today I want to introduce my twins. My dear friends, before you get a head of yourselves here, I am talking about bags-!!!

When I made these bags, it really called out for something red. I thought, well, the color of the fabric looks vintage, and often crochet work very well to create a whole vintage look, so I made some flowers, and a Ribbon out of red cotton crochet yarn, However; It is these little wallet that I adore-!!

Check it out...

Actually I learned how to crochet when I was seven years old, and the one who taught me was my neighbor , she  was herself six years old at the time. -!! She taught me how to make a crochet chain (I have to mention, that six years old girl is now a physician in  Egypt.) Anyway, I hope you like my flashback down memory lane, and most of all I hope you like my bags.

I would love to hear from you,

Take care,

Love,

-Samya :-)

Tea with the President

President Clinton made a brief stop visit  in our town yesterday early morning, and I went to see him. This was my first chance to see him in person , and oh boy he is one charismatic politician. I really wished I had to chance to talk to him. I only had one question for him "Would you like to come to our house for a cup of tea?" It did not happen-!! LOL

Honeypot Bags by Samya and a Cupcake Giveaway!

Hello everyone!

Sorry I have been away for a bit.  As you know, I hurt my arm and decided to take it easy for a couple of weeks from everything (including blogging). But now I am back and better than ever and I have some very exciting news. I have decided to open my very own e-shop on bigcartel so I can sell some of my bags out to the public.  With the help of my daughter N., we have been taking photographs of different bags and organizing them into previews to give prospective buyers a good idea about the product.  My beautiful assistant Marie will model EVERY SINGLE item in the store.  Weather permitting, I would love to take all of my photographs out in my backyard, but I might just have to settle for strategically placed shots in my living room.  I am working on many different exciting projects.  I have made some lovely bags, but there will also be belts, coin purses and aprons for sale.  I want to make sure that people can enjoy some handcrafted quality items at affordable prices.  Please check back often for new bags and please make any suggestions about how I can improve this new shop.
I am very delighted to introduce to you  my shop which is called Honeypot Bags by Samya.  You can see it by clicking on the link below.
