There is Something Spooky Brewing at Josie’s Cottage

I’ve just listed two brand new tote bag styles.  This time I am inspired by Halloween and all the little ghouls and goblins who will soon be out trick or treating.  There is nothing better to complete a Halloween costume then a handmade, unique reusable tote bag.  These bags can be reused year after year and are completely washable.

Head on over to Josie’s Cottage on Etsy to see the new arrivals.

Happy Spooking!

New Handmade Tote Bags in Time for Halloween

I just posted two new bags to Etsy just in time for Halloween.  I love making these bags because they are both adorable and useful.  I’m itching to go back to Joann’s and pick up more Halloween and Fall fabrics.

These tote bags are on the smaller side.  Perfect for younger trick-or-treaters out there.  They would also make great gift bags for anyone who may have a Halloween or October birthday.  They could also be used for quick trips to the market when you only need to pick up one or two things as they easily fold up to fit in a purse or pocket.

Head on over to Josie’s Cottage on Etsy to check them out.

Happy Hauntings!

Creating New Things

I have a long term goal to create something new everyday.  There is no day better than today to start.  Today I created my website (with Brett’s expert help)!  I only broke it once.  I think I’m doing pretty well so far.

One of the best parts of starting Josie’s Cottage is that I have the freedom (and time) to just mess around with things.  Some days it’s writing, some days it’s Twitter and Facebook, some days it’s piles of fabric, and some days it’s piles of dirt in the garden.  On a good day, I’ve made something for my shop and made a delicious meal out of veggies from our garden.

I hope to keep this updated regularly with what I am working on.  I will try to keep photos of the cats to a minimum, but can’t promise to never talk about them.  Since my sewing room is Joey’s second favorite nap spot, sometimes he becomes an inadvertent Josie’s Cottage assistant.

This week I am working on Halloween tote bags.   I hope to have several posted to the Etsy later this week.  They are perfect for little ghouls and goblins trick-or-treating.

Happy Crafting!
