Sometimes it all goes a bit wrong...

It isn't always easy to get work done done with children around... Which is why I try to do most of it when they are in school and nursery.
My youngest however, normally finds his own ways of getting involved, and adding a personal touch.
A couple of days ago I was plaiting a couple of straps to go with a new biiig bag (coming soon...)
With that all done and very happy with the result, I left them on my desk ready to be attached to the bag. (not a wise move)
Especially since there was a bottle of window cleaner on the desk as well. A lot of window cleaner later and a very clean glass top resulted also in a very soaked strap, not at all suitable for a big, lush bag...

What to do??

After a little rummage around in my drawers, I found a suitable clasp/fastener to attach to the strap - and What was a stiff and slightly faded wrap, had been turned into a belt. (luckily the strap was the same width as my waist...)

Personal business

We all want something special... And most retailers and fashion designers try to accommodate that by turning out one collection more desirable than the other. With handbags and small leather goods, you can take this even further. By making it personal. Most of the high end luxury labels have cottoned on and do personalise their product. Look at Lous Vuitton and their monogrammed history, or Anya Hindmarch and her bespoke range. Oozing of luxury!!

A personal touch can make something simple into something very special. So for my friend Terri, I decided to go all the way and make her something truly unique... Her is the result:

Happy Birthday Terri!!!
