An unusual thing happened today....

Posted on Saturday, February 23, 2008 at 04:10

I finished two, yes, I said two, craft projects!! The first one was a handbag that I was sewing for a gift for a friend. I was really excited about doing it as I love bags and I was really pleased to get a simple pattern (Simplicity 5151) that I could use time and time again. I had the fabric already as I had bought it to make a skirt (not enough fabric for that now). I took a photograph of the finished bag. I had to hang it on the door handle as it would not sit up for me!

The other project I worked on was a mirror. I went to a workshop at Cactus Crafts to learn how to make these and was really pleased with the result. It is simply a very cheap mirror from Ikea (99p = $1.95) and scrap book papers. The mirror I made is for Amy. I have also decorated a mirror as a baby gift with the little girl's name on it. I have two more in the pipeline after this for my two nieces, a nine year old who is VERY girlie and a six year old who is not....she like rock music and guitars!!!!! The possibilities are endless.

Happy Crafting!

Catherine

Knew I'd see it sometime!

I love the bag, I knew I'd work out some way of getting around to see it.
I'm heading to bed but thought I'd check in on you first. I'll be calling over soon to see the bookcase on the stairs, at last an idea I had first.

Catherine, I love the bag, so come and teach me how to make one, I would love that style for a church bag! Give me a couple of weeks though - need to recover from this week.:(.
