New Project



Birdie Sling Bag

So, this is my next project. My sister-in-law has this bag and I LOVE it! I borrowed the pattern and am excited to get started! Now, to just have the time to do it! It's hard when 3 little ladies want attention to help!

Here are the fabrics I'll be using for the bag. I'll try and post pictures as I'm working and of the completed project. If it's smooth sailing, some people may be getting them as birthday presents - hmmmm, wonder who that could be????



This will be the outside/inside band and handles




This will be the interior lining



Exterior body of bag - SOOOOO EXCITED!

4 down; many more to go!!



Our Indian Corn! Super easy and cute!!



Fall Trees. We had to make more after Zoe missed out making them with Teagan and Payton.



I finished 4 Christmas gifts this week!! I'm so excited! I love that I have quite the stash of Christmas gifts collecting all over the house; I'm feeling oh-so-prepared! Usually, I'm just now getting started with even thinking about gifts but this year demanded a bit more thought and preparation. We are still adjusting to being a one-income family, so I've gotten really creative and am really enjoying all the creative energy! My sewing machine is getting a work-out and I am really hoping it keeps plugging away because getting a replacement is not a priority right now (though I did suggest $$$ towards a new one would be a great gift from my parents!!)

Ok, enough blogging about my projects - time to get back to work on them!!

I should be...

Sewing. That's what I'm supposed to be doing. I have a bunch of projects, 3 going right now. And what do I do when my brain needs a break? Start looking at other craft projects. My latest distraction is this fab website. The only problem is that now I have this strong desire to start needlework! What is wrong with me???
