Queen Bee Interview and Giveaway!

UCU: Pick a song that gets you in creative mood or you think would make a great addition to a "UCU Winter 2010 Soundtrack".
QB:
I'm loving the My Morning Jacket album 'Evil Urges' these days. On a holiday note, the Phil Spector Christmas album is pretty fabulous.

Crafting uniqueness since 1996 Queen Bee will be rolling in to town in a matter of hours with their great variety of adorable bags to store your stuff in. Win your own Penelope bag by leaving a comment, checking back tomorrow to see if you won and picking it up Saturday or Sunday at Urban Craft Uprising. Then, Monday roll into the office, classroom or market with a fancy new Queen Bee creation on your arm. Easy, peasy if you ask me.

UCU: What item are you most excited to be offering at UCU Winter 2010?
QB:
The Edith tote is an awesome Winter bag - roomy and made out of recycled wool felt with fun applique details. I'm also excited to offer selections from my up and coming new line, Rebecca Pearcy Textiles - hand printed totes and tea towels on sustainable fabrics.

UCU: If you could sum up your work in one word, what would that be?
QB:
Beautilitarian!

UCU: What are you nibbling on as the snow falls this winter?
QB:
Chocolate pretzel bark, pumpkin soup, home made focaccia, mulled wine.

UCU: Favorite handmade item you have? It could be made by you, gifted to you or something you picked up.
QB:
I have so many hand made items, it's hard to choose. I have a little stuffed elephant that I made a very early time in my life. I love it because it is so sweet and a reminder that I have been crafting since I was a tiny girl.

Take Me Home! Leave a comment by midnight tonight to be entered in a drawing to leave with this bag when you shop at Urban Craft Uprising this weekend!

  23. I've bought 2 purses and a wallet over the past 4 years and they are still as great as the day I got them! They are wonderfully made and so cute. I usually Goodwill my other bags after the season, but Queen Bee purses really hold up through my heavy wear and tear. Even if I don't win, I have a feeling I'll be buying another one soon!
