I've been working on this project on & off during this past week. "Olivia"...as I call her ... lol ... is based on my "girly ruffle purse" that I showed you last week... with parts of her based on another owl purse I was making last summer. I "LUV" how she turned out! This is actually my second one that I have made this week (used the same fabric combo...just changed the eye/nose design).... and this one, without the embroidery, took me about 2 hours last night to sew. I digitised the eyes and nose and sewed them out in some heavy vintage felt (eyes) and some wool felt (nose)....it's a very quick stitch, like 4000 stitches. I had oodles of this yellow print fabric that I purchased off ebay a few years ago ... had wondered what I was going to do with it and found it PERFECT for "Olivia"! I think this design will be well recieved at my Farmers Markets this summer. I can't wait to swing one over my own shoulder as well!

4500this is a HOOT! I'm sure she will be a big hit! But not sure about the name? Isn't there a pig trademarked Olivia? You might want to check into that as this is really cute & I don't want to see you run into any complications. Not really sure how this works but better to be safe than sorry! Hugs Loralye

1100This bag is soooo cute! I am a bit old to be using one like this but I love the design! I collect owls. I know age does not matter any longer but I really feel old. My ADULT son has made a very old person out of me in the last 2+ years. His heart attack has changed his personality and not for the good! I do not even know him any longer..... Funny how feeling old makes you act old also! I guess I should not give a hoot(pun intended) but it sure has! You did a wonderful job with the designing and the materials as well as the actual putting it together. You have alot of potential of being a very good designer!
