I Love To Make Bags!

It all started back in April when I stummbled onto the Artsy-Crafty Babe blog and bought 5 of her patterns.  I've never been overly interested in purses before.  They were just kind of an evil necessity and I never replaced one until the current one had completely fallen apart.  Now I change my purse a couple of times a week; sometimes to just match my outfit. 

So, here is one of the latest:
This is the "Pretty In Pleats" bag by Artsy-Crafty Babe.  Her patterns are awesome in my honest opinion. 

Here's a close-up of the detail on the handles:
This one is the first that I have designed on my own.  Not perfect, but with some more tweaking I think it will be a pretty nice purse.

The flower is based loosely on this fabric flower tutorial.

Guess it's time to get started on my day.  Have a Happy Sunday!

My Very First Post On My Very First Blog

So, here I am.  I'm not much of a writer and I have no clue what I'm doing.  Yep, that's me.  Just jump in and start doing and figure it out as I go (in some things anyways, others I ponder for so long that I give up).  I'm hoping this will turn out to be a place to share the things I do and think about.
