So Exciting!

Wahoo! We got another custom order! Also, the brand new website is up and running, due in part to a largely sleepless weekend and an obsessive desire to get it in display-order. There are still bits and pieces that need to be completed but on the whole, it's more than presentable.
Please visit my new website here: www.crimsonphoenixdesigns.com

Beth picked up her custom made mushroom bag (see bag here or here) yesterday and has already said "Everything fits perfect in my new mushroom purse! Thanks so much!"  It was hard to part with the lil'shroomer, but it had to be done. It's the only way I can afford to make more bags for all of you. So, on to bigger and better things.

All fabric for the new custom commissioned bag has been purchased, fastened and laundered. It sits eagerly awaiting to be trimmed at my sewing desk. The sad part about its lonely wait is that I won't be playing with it tonight. It's my mental health night, of sorts -- Girls Night! This fabric, by the way, is one of the most lovely fabrics I have ever purchased. Mr. gnome himself even approves... which says a lot since he is rarely interested in the goings-on of my fabric. Here is a grainy iphone picture of the sheer size of these poppies. It's perfect for a bag!


This custom-commissioned bag is for geebee's mother (geebees.etsy.com). Concurrently, geebee' s little one just turned 6 months today so I would like to extend my warmest half-birthday wishes to the squidgey.

<3 horray for squidge!

A gleeful morning

Merry Saturday to all, and to all a good morn'!!


Terribly sorry for the semi-holiday sound, but it is a fantastic morning over here in the CPD household. A "Christmas wreath" candle was purchased last night, lit this morning and smells delightfully cheery. However, that is not the bulk of the happy-maker. The snufflings of the squishface-happycat which sits next to me a-chewing on her toes is also comforting; not wholely as comforting as making a sale... but it will suffice on these chilly mornings.

Ah, for the love of happycat

The bulk of the happy-maker is this: We had a sale last night! One of Tot's Totes in Tweed with matching black buttons was purchased by an individual in Massachusetts. It was lovingly packaged and shipped out first thing this morning. Nothing like a sale to get those creative motivations up-n-at-'em on an early Saturday morning.

That's that... I'm going to get crafting. Happy day to all!

Lovin the Mushroom Print

Take a look at this adorable mushroom-print bag, which was made by custom request. It boasts 3 pockets and two pen pockets. It features a button closure and embellished straps. Take note: new, happy, non-cell phone pictures for you to browse at your leisure! Please leave your feedback, input or other noteworthy comments!

Now is the time for that custom order! This style of bag starts at $18.

Why hello, again...

It feels like forever since I've posted anything. That is quite possibly because I have been sick for three whole weeks. I even *dun dun dun* had to take a few days off work in order to sleep my steroid-and-antibiotic-laden sickness away. I do feel that the medicine is helping and that I'm on the path to mending.
What does this mean for you? GOOD NEWS!

As I keep posting, and then taking back, I WILL be working on new creations. I just received some awesome Christmas themed fabric as well as some adorable dots-and-umbrellas that will make you swoon.





I  am also now taking custom orders for the holidays. Please contact me if you would like to place a custom handbag or wallet order.
