Time travels

Today I received a call on my mobile from a lovely lady who was on her way with fabric for me to make a bespoke bag for her and just wanted to check I was at the store. After some initial confusion I realised she was in Brisbane and on her way to where my old store was and it was quite amazing for me to think that it is well over a year now since I moved on (she was very happy to learn though that I am still in operation we will be creating the design 'long distance'!).

Speaking of time going fast - Monday is the cut off for international orders that I can guarantee will be there for Christmas if being sent directly from Lyssy May (edit: sorry deadline now passed). These 3 new drawstring bag designs below would dearly love to travel for the holiday season!

Can it really be December?

I am slowly coming out of denial that it is so close to Christmas. I know everybody says the same thing but I seriously cannot process that 2008 is just about over.

Given that Lyssy May is currently working out of home as the new studio is not yet up and running, I have moved my Christmas order deadline forward a couple of days to this Tuesday (16th) as my lounge room is chaos with fabric strewn everywhere and my domestic machine is working overtime (I seriously cannot wait to have my industrial one humming along again - I have become so spoilt with its speed!).

I don't want to disappoint anyone who is hoping for a lyssy may bag under the tree this year but any orders placed after this Tuesday I will do my best but cannot guarantee.

I would like to thank the many lovely customers who have been wonderfully patient as my turnarounds have been a little slower than usual in this transition phase. 2009 will see Lyssy May return to form with some fabulous new designs to boot!
