My creative space: Leather bag # 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I should be focussing on my clothes, some of which are half-finished!

But I do not want my creativity to die slowly by not being able to do what I want to do. I am still making clothes and can meet deadlines of custom orders. Only now and then I let myself carried away by my new venture: leather bags.

My new bag so far. Hopefully it will be done before Christmas;) Work in progress will be posted next week.

Every Thursday many artists and crafters around the world share pictures of their Creative Space. Visit Kootoyoo's blog for more infomation. Click here.

Shop Europe for Charity

-------------------------------------------------------------------
In response to the humanitarian call for help due to the recent natural disaster in Pakistan the European Street Team on Etsy (EST) opened an Etsy shop on August 28 called Europe for Charity. Huge thanks to Baahar for the initiation. All the products that are for sale on the shop are donated by the EST members.

You can read more about the shop, where the money goes to etc., on the Shop Policy page. Click here.

Here are examples of our lovely products.



These are so cute, too!!

If you like something red. Here we go.

I received a message from Baahar about a month ago that we could already collect our first 500 dollars from the sales. Yaayy!!!

Some lovely bags.

Please help us to help others. New items are donated regularly. There may be something that you would like to buy for yourself or as a gift.
