just beautiful!

Amy is amazing! Love her bags!
These are great, Amy and wonderful story, too! Congratulations on your success! You should be very proud of your self-teaching!
I love the camera bag idea. Mine is just so ordinary. Kathie L in Allentown
I love your bags!!! I’ve always loved your creations…both with beads and fabric
Your bags are beautiful. I too was afraid of my sewing machine. I received it as a wedding gift and it sat for 10 years before I got the nerve to use it. Now you can’t stop me. I really like your jewelry designs. Too cute!
Love your bags. The colors are so vibrant and cheerful. I love hearing how you started out. I’m a closet creative and thought I’d never be able to have a “real” business doing something I loved. As a new widow, I’m living the rest of my life doing things I love, but have dismissed as not serious enough. You have inspired me to go for it. Thanks!
Beautiful bags with such creative use of fabric and color. Sewing is such a wonderful way to create, I sewed all of my girls clothing when they were little. Your jewelry is so fun. Your story of learning to sew by trial and error and through books etc. is inspiring.
I usually just slip my camera in my pocket and go. But after one look at these bags… I want one! Absolutely love the fabrics and style!

I think your story is very inspiring! Wonderful items!
Great! Love that you are self taught, I have always been artistic,but my son’s birth did the same thing for me – spurred me to be creative and get that “I can make that” attitude!
Ohmigoodness! Your creations are divine! Love, love, love!
Beautiful creations!!!!
What very cool and unfuddy-duddy your bags are! An inspriring story, as well.
I am so loving all the bags! I am a bag person too and you can never have too many bags!!!
Love your story and the things you create! I think you may have just ‘jumpstarted’ my waning creative impulse today! Thank you!
Amy, you are an inspiration … to me, and I’m sure, to many. My sewing machine sat around for a bit, too, after I bought it last spring (2009). Now, I pull it out as often as I can. I LOVE YOUR BAGS (and your jewelry, and your clothing for the kids).

Love the camera bags. I have several friends that they would make perfect gifts for.
Amy
I too have a career and was not someone who sewed or crafted. I had 3 boys so it was later for me before picking up the craft. I started with quilting and I am hooked. I now have 2 grandaughters and I am sewing easy pieces of clothing. I got am embroidery machine and there is not stopping me now! I love your story thanks for sharing with us all.
you have custom bags that my cameras long for!!!
What beautiful creations! Your write up was very inspiring. Thank you!
Great information. I agree now a days demand of costume jewelry is more. I would like to share the site http://www.kaneesha.com from where I purchased a costume jewelry and really it added value to my outfit. Worth spending money and definitely my next purchase from this site is confirmed. They have extensive range of designs and colors.
Wow, that is an awesome camera bag!
OH this looks fabulous, would love to win!
