ReplyDeleteSo fun! You are such a talented lady and I've been so happy to be able to gift your bags to my dear friends.
ReplyDeleteMy most important resolution:
give more, send more, love more, embrace more
you totally made my day with this! thanks for such an awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy resolution was to be nicer to my daughter (13 days and counting).
ReplyDeleteI have a dog named Goose and a dog named Hank.
I love love love your work.

ReplyDeleteWonderful! I've been collecting your clutches for a while now and free is certainly a good price point.
ReplyDeleteAs for my resolution - I'm all for being extra crafty this year (we'll see how that goes)
This is Melanie, by the way! My pet's name is Artemisia, after Artemisia Gentileschi, an Italian painter from the baroque era. I call her Mimi for short! :)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! A giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI bought one of your tough ruffles clutches a little while back and my wonderful boyfriend just bought me one of your avery bags for Christmas (he called it the "Pièce de résistance" of the gift exchange, hehe) I ADORE it!
Can't wait to see what you have in store for us this year!
I must say that I have one of your roundy bottom pouches and it's amazing! The quality of your work is pretty exceptional. Also? My cats names are: Olive, Julius and Penelope. All of which are never called by their actual names. Oh well. =)
ReplyDeleteoh id love to win one!! jmls09@aol.com
ReplyDeletemy pet's name is voldemort and i would like to see made by hank back patches in your shop. please pick me to win!

ReplyDeletemy new year's resolution is to not stress about any sort of bettering of myself. it's too much pressure and it's always a bummer.
frankie would like to see some of those cute dog harnesses you made for frances in the shop this year! he would like some manly colors like orange & brown & plaid.
how sweet of you! i love your bags... the tough ruffles always make me smile. my new year's resolution is to be a nicer person. and maybe eat fewer french fries. :)
ReplyDeleteMy resolution... eat healthier and excerise! And keep on creating. :)
ReplyDeletemelissa [at] villadesign [dot] org

ReplyDeletewooo! I sure hope I win!
ReplyDeleteMy new years resolution is to create merchandise to sell on etsy (currently I'm just selling prints and original illustrations)!
awesome katie! thank you for being so kind! :)
ReplyDeletemy resolution is to try to not stress out as much & enjoy life a little more!
chelsea
Great giveaway!! I love all your stuff, especially your new geometric totes! The only resolution I made for myself this year was to finally embrace change in my life and make it happen!
ReplyDeleteI hope to see more extra-wide bags in your shop this year (in hopes of getting one for my laptop). Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteyay! what a lovely surprise! fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteone of my new years resolutions is to not buy things i dont need. Ive done pretty good 2 weeks in! awesome giveaway! :)
ReplyDeletejessicajane.love at yahoo dot com
Love, love your work. I wish you could exhibit in a Bay Area gallery because I would be SO there! Happy New Year :) from Jeannie (jeannie.pham@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI adore your bags and these zipper pouches are no exceptio! They're wonderful! Thank you so much for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteKatie, you are amazing for hosting such a lovely giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteone of my new year's resolutions is to take better care of myself. towards the end of 2010, i started to get overwhelmed with work and didn't find work-life balance at all. i ended up forgetting to eat meals (i'd maybe eat a meal and a half a day) because i became so consumed in my work. by the time Christmas rolled around, i had lost quite a bit of weight, was constantly tired and no longer had much motivation to keep up with work.
starting on january 1, 2011, i have started to plan meals early, making sure that i make time to eat properly. i've also started going to the gym regularly to take better care of my body. as a recovering mcdonald's addict (haha, i used to eat this stuff 3 times a week!), i'm trying to cut down to once a month. so far so good!
thedemuremuse(at)gmail(dot)com
This is so awesome of you! I'd love to see more clutches in your shop. They're the perfect size for all the essentials without being too bulky or small.
ReplyDeleteAs for resolutions, mine is to learn JavaScript (this is going to be a toughy for me).
Thanks for such a great giveaway!
(my email is in my profile).
These are beautiful, Katie! I've been following you for a while here and though I don't have a big collection, I love, love my small crossbody bag (with the beautiful crochet doily!).
ReplyDeleteI would love to see more small shoulder/crossbody bags, and also the vintage appliques you do so beautifully (like in zipper purses 2 & 7).
I also really appreciate the new styles you do and the glimpses we get of your stitched drawings, because your creativity and talent is utterly amazing!
how fun! i am in love with all of your ruffled things - and would love to learn that technique :) my new year's "resolution" is to apply to med school this year - which is months away but already making me crazy! :)
ReplyDeletemy resolution for 2011 is to finally be able to quit my job to become a full time photographer. its still so scary to think of spending my days away from my office and doing something that i love so much <3
ReplyDeleteKatie, you have been one of my absolute favorite crafters/online sellers for a few years now. Keep on being awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind Katie!
ReplyDeleteYou should know I LOVE your hangtags! I like how unique they are.
Have a great 2011!
Oh, this is just SO exciting!! :) I have been wanting one of your sewn goods for sooo long now, but every time I go to buy one, they're mostly sold! :) You are so loved by the online community :)
ReplyDeleteMy new year's resolution is to be more present and to live fully and to much higher standards for myself :)
Hi Katie! Well I feel a little guilty for entering your giveaway as I am fortunate enough to have several of your amazing creations, however, I find my hank appetite only increases with time - so I hereby shamelessly enter your sweet giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy dog's name is Gracie, which is odd because she is often grace-less... running into walls, patio doors, legs, pretty much anything that's between her and the place she is headed with much haste. And every time it happens she looks at us like it was our fault :)
♥Laura
can I just say that I think your work is spectacular? a great design sense is something many aspire to, but few have, so thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteand I can't not mention that I have a Westie named Nigel, because he is just the cutest.
oh man, I love madebyhank! i would love to see more handbags and interesting color combinations.
ReplyDeleteI love these purses...they are all so cute. We adopted our little kitten from the humane society around St. Patty's Day last year. His litter was given all Irish names...so our little guy is Owen and oh so cute :) Thanks for a fun 2011 giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI just found out about your purses from the Farm Chicks blog. I love them! My resolutions are: to shed the extra 20 lbs (always), not to take myself so seriously, and to spend more time with my family and friends and to let them know how much I appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteso fun! I have one of your little clutches and have my eye on the new triangle ones. Would love to win!
ReplyDeleteHello Katie, I just wanted to wish you a happy new year! I bought a couple of your bags right before you were the featured seller on Etsy---use some of them all the time to this day!

I have al my fingers and toes crossed and wil keep them that way until this giveaway is over.
ReplyDeleteMy resolution is to stop getting beads stuck under the keys of my keyboard on my laptop so that the letter "L" wil show up more than once.
My resolution is to win a Made by Hank Giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
Eleven Things, for Twenty-Eleven :)
ReplyDelete1. I didn't make a new years resolution, because I always end up forgetting it by the end of the first week!
2. I have two rabbits, Thumper and Cotton. Thumper used to be sweet, but he has learned how to hop on the couch to beg for food. Cotton used to be a rascal, but he has gone all soft.
3. I miss the appliqued purses from waaaaaay back at the beginning when I first hearted your Etsy shop (kinda like zipper pouch 7 or like this: http://www.etsy.com/transaction/12397159) -- Not to say I don't love love love the three bags I have! BUT I vote to bring back the applique for a bit :)
4. I bought zipper pouches for my sister and sister-in-law for Christmas, and they loved them! (although I was kinda hoping they wouldn't, even though I knew they would, but if they didn't, then I could have kept them...)
5. Everytime my good friend compliments me on my new bag... It's a made by hank bag! I told her she need to stalk your shop.
6. I love the way you photograph your bags -- having a consistent style is key.
7. I really don't want to go work on report cards right now (sorry, that is totally random)
8. Also, I like the couple purses you did with the stitch-pictures of rabbits and such. Those were lovely. Wish I could have snagged one of those...
9. Gosh, I think I ran out of things to say.
10. Umm...
11. Oh yeah! I hope I win, 'cause my birthday is the last day to enter... January 21st! And that would be a perfect birthday present!
how wonderfully nice! i love your work :)
ReplyDeletemy dog is named Boo and she is currently running around outside with her doggy friends. my resolution is to get in shape and to learn to quilt. fun!
My doggie is Kaiser. He makes a great accessory but I think your purses would be better :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see some larger (maybe even oversized!) tough ruffles bags in spring colors (pinks, light blues, purples). I remember you made a handful of these back in mid April of last year and they sold so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for holding a giveaway! :)
Olivia needs a new bag! She loves Madebyhank!
ReplyDeleteOh my those purses are quite lovely, I really do hope I win one. I have a 6 month old Chi-poo named Grizzly. My boyfriend says he has UGG boots on, because his paws have so much crinkly fur. He has a toothy, under-bite kind of a smile, and I love him!
ReplyDeleteEverything you do is fantastic, and I always dream of owning a madebyhank. Once my financial situation improves, I will surely buy a shoulder bag!
My resolution is to use re-usable bags for grocery shopping. So far, so good! Maybe I'll have to get a nice Madebyhank tote for shopping :-)
ReplyDeletedang katie!
ReplyDeletesuch an awesome and generous giveaway you're having! thank you!
i have to say... i really love what you're doing with the repurposed leather these days. the new bags are totally awesome!
and... as for my 2011 resolution... i'm going to focus on me this year at work... no more defending myself to others. i'm going to do what i want... and continue being the good teacher that i am.
happy new year katie! i hope you are well...
Oh my! I've admired your work for so long! Resolution: stop stressing! And my cat's name is Marty.
ReplyDelete2011 is the year of being kinder to self and others in thought and deed.
ReplyDeletehi!! i am a new reader, and I love love love your blog and your bags!
ReplyDeleteKristin
hmmm... new years resolution...to get another one of your bags. Three isn't enough :) But, seeing as how we just had a tiny little girl, and are spending any extra cash on diapers and bity clothes, winning would make that happen much quicker!

ReplyDeleteWoohoo! What a fabulous giveaway and thank YOU for being so awesome! I don't have any pets right now (just two small children who sometimes act like little animals/beasts), but when I was little, I had a beautiful sheltie dog named Max, and a goldfish named Fanny.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see more of the smaller tough ruffle bags with the long straps that can be worn across the body. And your vintage creation are also very coveted. And well, anything you create is pretty darn gorgeous!
melissa5880(at)gmail(dot)com
woot woot! love giveaways! my resolution: eat less. exercise more. drink more water. so far so good!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about this giveaway! I keep dropping hints to my husband, parents, in-laws...anyone who will listen that I would really like them to stalk your site for a nice bag for me. My New Years Resolution is to get a tough ruffles bag in dark berry colors or blue.
ReplyDeleteeeep! What a great giveaway! I own one of your zipper purses and I love it! It holds my makeup. :)
ReplyDeletegirl you make the best shiiiiiit out there for real and my dog's name is pete, or petey, or moose
ReplyDeleteMy resolution was to get a local library card...done already!

Thanks for the chance!
I am a human and I have a human growing inside of me right now. Impressive, huh?

ReplyDeleteYay for giveaways! I'm not big on New Year's resolutions (because I always forget about them), but I HAVE been trying to adopt better eating and exercise habits since after Christmas. I think it was the Christmas dinner turkey-hangover that did me in. Surprisingly, I'm on week 3 of attending a great aerobics class (did you know Jazzercise is still around? It totally is, and it's awesome), and I actually look forward to going several times a week. This is big for me. So far, 2011 is feeling good!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun giveaway! thinking this would be fun for earrings, i might have to try it on the ol' blog.
ReplyDeleteI do love your little pouches. Happy 2011!
Two words: ipad case!!

ReplyDeleteMy New Year's Resolution(s) are yet to be determined. When there are gazillions of areas where I want to improve myself, it's hard to choose just a few so as not to be overwhelmed. Anyway - it's all about improvement and I'm always ready to find ways to better myself. ;)

Try & be positive with everything, because negativity is just a downer.

ReplyDeleteI'm amazed, so many comments! I would love to see more of your bags with dollies this year, they were gorgeous the ones you made in 2010 (not that all your items weren't). My SIL's loved your ruffle purses for christmas and it made me resolve to reuse, recycle more often in 2011!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love this totally random giveaway, thanks!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for this year from me and my cats Tiger and Moo!
Wauw, what a great giveaway! My new years resolutions are to read more, to make a lot of bags and to try more new things.

I love your bags and especially love giving them as gifts because the person is so surprised and happy. Perfect gift giving experience. My cat's name is Sassafras, I call her Sassy for short and she is. Sassy that is, not short.

ReplyDeleteMy New Year's Resolution was to not drop the f-bomb at work. So far, I've managed pretty well!
I resolved to live my life based on my two favorite quotes:
ReplyDelete"...if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
~Henry David Thoreau
"The stotan must be willing to stand on his own, to resist pain, to stick to his ideals. A stotan is quietly self-sufficient. He accepts the challenges of training, injuries, races, and disappointments without complaining, because he understands that simply by keeping on, by sticking to the path he has chosen, he will get stronger and better."
~ Amby Burfoot

I love love love your work! I purchased one of your roundy bottomed zipper purses and I am constantly getting compliments on it! I use it to carry my make-up and it got a little dirty so I threw it in the washing machine and it washed beautifully. Awesome purses, great job!
ReplyDeleteyay! a giveaway! my cat's name is Paddington and right now he is helping to keep me warm as I am home sick.
ReplyDeleteMy NY's resolution is to be as cool as Hank. You are a great inspiration for excellent craft and creativity in sewing and art!

Yay! Thank you so much for having a give-away! I am such a huge fan of all of your work :) The bags, clutches, totes, wallets -everything!- I have that you have made are some of my most favorite hand-made treasures. You mentioned that we could write about something we would like to see in your shop... I have a soft spot for the cute little purses/clutches you used to make that had animals (a bunny or a horse) hand-stitched onto them. They were so adorable, and I would love to see them back in your shop! (And of course, I would try to buy one!) Thank you, and keep up the beautiful work!
