Finally decided to make myself a new bag ~ here are the pieces so far.  Love the black & white with the turquoise!

This little stack of fabric is all set to make into little wallets ~ someday.  I just need to get my sewing mojo back.

New project!  I’m taking step-by-step pics of a new pattern I’m making (at the request of someone who was happy with my first pattern).  Eventually it will be a little tri-fold wallet to hold Nintendo DS games.  Pics of the finished wallet to follow once I finish it!

Finally got some new ink for my Canon printer ~ just in time to make some new labels for the shop.

Lulu’s got a brand new bag :)  Just finished this one today.  Now the decision is whether to keep it or try and sell it.  I LOVE the plaid, but it really doesn’t go with anything down here.  It looks more like a Michigan purse than a Florida purse, so I think I’ll try putting it in the shop and see if anyone else likes it.  Decision made.

I found a dress at Goodwill about  6 weeks ago with this fabric as the skirt.  But since it’s like pulling teeth to get me to pay full price for anything (even at Goodwill), I kept checking back every week to see if it had a 1/2 price tag on it ~ hoping nobody bought it in the meantime.  The last time I checked ~ Hooray! ~ 1/2 price.  So of course I spent the $2.50 ~ and now it’s cut up and ready to make into some wallets and pouches for my Etsy shop.  Of course I’ll make something for myself while I’m at it.  :)

I love this fat quarter bundle called “Botanicals” from Joann’s.  Turquoise is “in” right now (or so I’ve heard) and I love the way it’s been combined with the greens and purples in these little bits of fabric ~ all in their own little decorative metal basket.

I’m trying out a new pattern (shhhh ~ it’s a secret!).  Not sure how it’ll turn out, but I’ll update once it’s finished.

What’s wrong, little Singer?  My sewing machine is a little sad ~ must be because I haven’t been paying much attention to it since we came back from Michigan at Christmas.  Notice how neat and clean the area is ~ that’s what’s wrong!
