The Newbie

Thanks for visiting me - I'm brand spankin' new at this bloggin' thing, so bear with me as I get my feet wet.

I'm Suzy - as in Suzy Kaploozy. I'm a former graphic designer who took my passion for paper, texture and pattern and decided to try my hand at creating with fabric. It's been a lot of trial and error, but in general, I think I've got it right.

This blog is a way for me to organize my thoughts and get myself in the right direction as I start my latest creative endeavor. I really want this to succeed! I started making tote bags a few years ago (as Christmas gifts- because really, I didn't have that much cash to cover buying "real" gifts for all of those teachers, therapists, nurses, etc.... I'll get to that later.) Soooo, I made bags. And people really liked them. And then they said, "Suzy, you really should go into business." And I thought, "how can I do that - I barely have time to color my hair." But, my friends persisted, like friends tend to do. So, I've officially jumped off the deep end and have formed Kaploozy Handcrafted. I'm a sewing fool!!!

I'm a vendor in my first big Art fair on Oct. 24th. So, most of my work has been revolving around that. I'm almost ready - I'll be keeping you posted with the latest on all that.

I'm also working on APRONS - lots and lots of aprons! They are turning out so cute! I have an order of 36 due by Christmas. Sew, sew, sew.

Lastly, I am opening a web store on etsy. The site is almost complete, just need to build up the inventory. So... sew, sew, sew!
