I love Etsy

Who doesn't? However, I love it so much that, like many others out there, I decided to start my own store. You see, my other passion in life besides design, is fabric and sewing. There are so many wonderful fabrics out there, and as a designer, I am drawn to bold, funky prints. For Christmas this year, I made bags and camera straps for nearly every female on my list (I will be the first to admit my creations are pretty girly). The response was overwhelmingly positive, and everyone encourage me to sell my creations. So now I am!

You may have noticed the artsy photo of a yoga mat bag as my monthly graphic for January. Well that's one of my creations, and I put it up for January of a teaser of things to come. I've been slightly neglectful of this blog, but let me assure you it's because I've been so busy, not because of laziness. Well maybe a little laziness. When I should have been posting I've been sewing!

Check out my Etsy site at www.obleek.etsy.com and let me know what you think. You can also check out my Flickr sewing project stream to see all my projects as they are completed. For all the guys out there, my bags make great gifts for the ladies in your lives, and I will be offering Guitar Hero/Rockband straps soon (thanks to my brother's request!). I hope everyone is enjoying 2009 so far as much as I am.
