Just for you, Sonja V. ~~~ "Hello Kitty"

Let me know if you want more lil pink bows.

"Shut the Duct Up" is off to a good start!

Our first paying customer (and friend) ordered three totes in the color of her grandson's football team.  (Thank you sooooo much!)   Pray to God she likes them!

BTW ~ We are in the middle of setting up a website, http://www.shuttheductup.com/.  In the meantime, if anyone wants to order something, let me know here.   Don't forget, there is duct tape available in tons of sports teams.  Plus I can likely find any combination of school colors too.

In Iris and Joe news (speaking of which, Happy Rosh Hashanah), Robin just hung up with Iris.  She got mad at Joe earlier and destroyed a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle he had almost completed.  Took her arm and in one fell swoop knocked it to the floor. 

Happy Holidays!!!!

Breast Cancer Awareness Tote (not to be confused with bag)

The lighting in my kitchen does not do these bags/totes justice, trust me.

Well, I have done it again.  All my eggs are in one duct taped basket with this duct tape thing.  The good news is, I do have a meeting scheduled tomorrow with a rizty boutique owner on Main Street.  I know who this lady is because I've been in her store and I also recognize her from my nail salon.  The bad news is, I took my nails off in order to make these bags and consequently, my fingers are back to Jimmy Deans with remnants of pink polish.  Robin says she won't notice.  Being a nail person myself, I know she will.  Maybe I can whip up some duct tape gloves between now and then.

And even more positive news (the best news) is that people are starting to ask for certain things.  A blog follower wanted to know if I can do more subdued colors.  If it comes in duct tape, I can do it.  (Still working on finding it in gold, Robbie.)   Depending on tomorrow's meeting, I will make more Breast Cancer bags or move on to   ...   wait for it   ...   DOG BAGS!!!!!!  I have so many ideas.

Believe it or not, making these bags is a little physical.  My back and shoulders are killing me right now.

Breast Cancer Awareness Bag

There's actually a pink ribbon in the middle of the bag, but it barely shows up in the picture.  If you click on the picture, you get a much closer look.   Thinking a black and white bag like this would look good. 

TRICK OR TREAT!

Trick or treat!
This bag is complete.
Who wants to buy it
So my dogs can eat?????

Our first custom made order!!!!

So what if it's to a non-paying client named Iris.  She offered to pay but obviously we wouldn't let her. 

Told you we're a little OCD .....

Robin made the yellow and orange purse yesterday and the Cookie Monster wallet this morning.  I started my first one, the black & white and pink today, but she had to help me.  If we mean business, somebody's  gonna need to not have long nails. 

The bad part of this production is that Buddy is mad that we have taken over his couch.  Poor Buddy.
