What is the appeal of Turquoise and Gray?

I see so much of this combination lately, and I love it.



Check out this website about color: http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.comTurquoise is a combination of blue and a small amount of yellow, turquoise fits in on the color scale between green and blue. This color radiates the peace, calm and tranquility of blue and the balance and growth of green with the uplifting energy of yellow.

On the other hand, gray is a detached, neutral color, neither white nor black or a "fence-sitter." Gray has a steadying effect on other colors. What a perfect complement for turqoise!

This bag reminds me of springtime and St. Patrick's Day!

I fell in love with this fabric combination as soon as I matched it up!

Such a pretty kelly green color, and lovely leaves and flowers with gold intertwined all through the fabric. I used a lovely faux leather for the handle, it's a pretty caramel brown and blends perfectly with the caramel in the main body of the purse.

And of course, what would this purse be without a gorgeous metal button with a kelly green center?

Love, love, love!

New Lines of Bags/Purses!

I'm excited about my new line of purses...I will be putting them on my Etsy site in about 6 weeks.

I've been busy scouring the internet, checking out what woman want in their bags, and inventorying my immense stash of fabrics and trims. Wow!

Can you imagine what my sewing studio looks like?!

Time for a break on Sunday...we'll be visiting the Las Vegas chinatown for the Year of the Dragon Celebration.

Can't wait!

Btw, sports fans will be interested in the new bags too!
