Recently I've taken to sewing and started making my own handbags (<span style="font-style: italic;">what woman doesn't like a new handbag</span>). I started getting requests from friends and family to make them a handbag so the thought occur ed "Why not combine something I love into a way to provide a little extra income for my family." I have always loved being artistic and crafty, whether it's scrap-booking, card making, baking or sewing as long as I can find a way to express myself.<br />
<br />
So why William & Ethel?? Family is an important part of my life and I wanted to incorporate as many family members as possible, so each handbag, clutch, wallet or invitation <span style="font-style: italic;">shape </span>is named after a male member in my family. All the fabric or paper used has a female members name. I was pretty sure none of the grand kids would be using my Grandmothers' name, Ethel, as a namesake and I wanted to someone how use it in something I did. The male and female aspect carried though into the name of my little project....William & Ethel...William being the name of my Grandfather and Ethel is the name of my Grandmother.</div><br />
