Workday Wednesday

I'm finally (kinda) back in my sewing room! Yay! I mean, the whole place is in a shambles, but at least I can get to my machines and make some bags! Whew. We will move back into the house on Friday even though the floors are not finished. I don't care, I'll live with the pounding and the machine noises. I just want to be home!

So, to celebrate being reunited with my machines, I made some bags out of the fabric I won from Harmony (see this post). They will be so pretty!

And, I whipped some bags from this Harmony fabric to be used for an Earth Day Girl Scout project. The troop is coming to my house to sew the handles on. Squee, so excited! I'll post photos, promise.

I piled up some bolts of fabric in the corner of my sewing room, just to make me happy. I'll probably move them later, I just like looking at a corner full of bolts. :)

I also photographed bags and packed them in a box for Bagette Dad. Inside is the contents of 6 future freebies. This is a little sneak peak of what is to come. I topped off the box with 35 other bags for Bagette Dad to give away. I know this will make him happy. I just need to get it in the mail…

What are you up to? I love hearing what all of you are working on. I promise to share photos of my sewing room when I finally get it back in order. Lots of work. Teresa

Workday Wednesday (and Thursday)

Since I am still not in my house and my sewing room has been turned upside-down (literally) I have been painting more and more. Here are some from the past week…

But then TODAY my sewing table was put back in place and I was able to knock out a few bags. Feels good! Some of these (mainly the plain/man bags on the bottom) will be going to all the great guys who have been slaving away on my house.

It looks like we are still a week out on moving back in, but the end is in sight! I can't wait to sleep in my own bed again. Squeeee! Teresa

Elk!

We got a blanket of several inches of snow last night while we were tucked snug in our beds. Hubby and I drove around a bit admiring it and saw these two ELK right on the edge of our neighborhood. People had told us there were elk nearby but this is the first time we got to see them! Teresa (not the greatest photo, taken with my iPhone)

LOOK!

Look what just got installed at Big Girl's high school! She texted me this photo because she knew it would make me happy. It did! YAY! Teresa

And, another 2 Russia Bags!

Hi Teresa!
Very glad that got her handbag! I just loved them! Thank you very much!
