Dressing It Up.....

It wasn't that very long ago that denim was worn when working out in the yard, or by the working man. June Cleaver would never have been caught in denim! However today we women wear those June Cleaver pearls with our denim!

Look at these "Dressing Up Denim" items I found on Pinterest:

Great Office/School Attire!

Dressy Denim Shoes!

And now for the Newest Item in my Shop:

Peaches and Cream Denim Purse

Just a little lace added to this denim purse and you have "Dressed It Up"

Feel Free to visit Bags By Hags and see more of our unique, One Of A Kind items!

Be Still......

We live in a 24 hour, get it in an instant world today. It used to not be that way, I come from a generation of working hard to reach your goal and good things will come to those who wait. I fear the young folks of today don't know about that, due to the fast paced world we all live in they all think you start at the top, get everything you want at once, and get rich quick.

I too am sometimes guilty of wanting it all now. I want my shop to be a success, but I know that I cannot have that in an instant. I must work hard on my products, marketing my shop, and good things will be my reward if I work hard enough.

For me I know that sometimes I just need to "Be Still" and keep the Faith that the Good Lord above will guide my next step. I have found that most times my ideas for my items come to me when I am just sitting still. Take for instance this Bible Cover, I was struggling on how to design it, I walked away and left it. I got still and low and behold it came to me like a ton of bricks. Here is the finished Product.

This is one of my favorite Bible Covers.

I hope everyone takes the time to "Be Still" you never know what may come to you, or what you may see!

Things to do with Denim....

I love working with denim, my favorite thing to do is to take a pair of denim jeans and recycle them into something new! I love to take a pair of jeans and make several items out of just one pair. I usually start with cutting them off like shorts and make Denim Purses. Each purse is made unique and one of a kind, with different straps and adornments. This is one of my favorite ones.

I then can take the legs and make tote bags like this one.

During Christmas I take the legs and turn them into Stockings. This was a custom order I received this last Christmas:

I also love to make Bible Covers out of denim, in fact these are my favorite things to make! Again each one is made unique and different, you can be assured you are getting a One of A Kind Item.

Keep watching Bags By Hags you never know what may turn up in denim next! Or if you have a particular item or style in mind feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to do a Custom Order for you!

Good Things Come In Small Packages....

Yesterday I worked on my Prayer Quilts. I talked a little about these last week. I just love these little items. They are small but pack a big punch. Inside the quilt I have put a cross that you can feel as you touch the quilt. These would make a great gift to pass on to someone and I guarantee they will remember your act of love and kindness every time they touch the little quilt.

I actually got a custom order for several of these from Cutterstone Jewelry they have such a great shop! They ordered them to pass along to others. After I finished her order I made up a couple more using some recycled denim.

These would be perfect to give to someone who is in the hospital, having a rough day, or as a just because gift. They would also make the perfect item to tuck in as gift to your customers. I would be more than happy to talk to you about ordering these in bulk. You can contact me through my shop or through any of my links posted below. To see the other available styles we have on hand you can visit here
