It's Springtime!!!!..Well technically almost...But it's March!
Our cherry blossoms are adorning the trees as well as my apricot blossoms...can't wait to harvest them this Summer. I gave so much jam and apricots away, I left us enough to last through Fall and Winter, now just about plum out of it! Today I spent a lovely day sewing while the kids worked on their lessons. I pulled together some Spring colored fabrics to fit the mood.
I also got the owl fabric Freckles and I chose from Quilters Coop. So, can you guess who I was sewing for? My little girl of course!!! I started out cutting scrap pieces and sewing them in a scrappy log cabin form. then I machine chat quilted each little section.
The piece ended up pretty large. I decided that is was cute
enough to make into something useful for Freckles
to put her owl things in when we go out and about.
So, I designed this darling handbag. Isn't it the cutest thing?
I used a vintage handbag I got thrifting a while bag as a
template of sorts then made up the rest. I then tied ripped scrap fabric to
the clear plastic handles and voila! A charming bag to tote whatever
her heart desires...Oh and there's a pocket inside too!
She loves it!
Hope you all are having a good week....It's half way through till the weekend...
My sister is coming down the hill for a visit! I am also planning some upcoming fundraisers for my son...Word is that he was accepted as a part of the mission team going out to the Czech Republic this Summer for three weeks spreading the gospel and working with teens and young adults...I am so proud of him!!! He was also invited once again to go up to the Sierra's like he did last Summer! How exciting! I wish he can hide me in his bags when he goes! Have a great remainder of the week friends!!!!
