Happy Earth Day!

Workday Wednesday

I'm pretty proud of myself for this one. We bought a nice wood futon from a neighbor for $25. The whole thing is in great shape except for the cover. It had clearly been washed and used A LOT. I knew immediately a new one was in order. First things first, I removed the 12 foot zipper from the existing cover to reuse. I didn't want to purchase a new zipper of that length ($$$!) and, it was just going to go to waste because Bagette Danny wants the denim to make bags.  Then, I used the old cover as a pattern and picked out Harmony's GOREOUS organic cotton denim in Evelyn and Janette (available in my Etsy Shop) for the new one. It turned out great and so much nicer than the faded one. Yay! Teresa

Workday Wednesday

I've been checking a lot of things off my sewing 🧵 to do list lately:

1 & 2) Two sets of jammies for the littles that Ellica is a nanny for. It was the baby boy's first birthday a couple weeks ago. I fear they might be a bit big but at least there's room to grow! 👶🏻 🎂

3, 4 & 5) Tennis theme GBL bags for the local high school girls team. I wasn't at the dinner but I hear they were a big hit! 🎾

Photo Finish Friday

Happy Friday! I hope you have had a good week. I'm completely thrown off on days due to Easter and other scheduling. I'm in the mountains hoping to get some sewing done, miles walked and tons of fresh air. You? XOXO--Teresa

Workday Wednesday

Update on all the felt Easter eggs🥚and flowers 🌺  I have been making. I took down St. Pats ☘️ decor and put up Easter/Spring (I plan to leave the flowers up well into summer). The eggs and flowers look so fun on the white lighted tree in my living room. I'm enjoying the bling every time I walk by. 😊 My sister was here last week and asked if I could make her a felt trillium flower as they have several on their Wisconsin cabin property. It turned out so cute! 🥰 I hope you are finding time to make fun things. XOXO--Teresa

 

Photo Finish Friday

My sister is here and we are going through old photo albums of our mother. This is just one of many amazing photos of her. Unfortunately, she passed away just shy of 65. She was the best of the best and I miss her every day. She taught me to sew and Green Bag Lady is dedicated to her (and now Bagette Dad too). Boy, do I wish they were still here. ❤️❤️❤️ Teresa

Photo Finish Friday

Hello! Happy weekend. I was in Palm Springs last weekend on a girls trip/tennis weekend with Bagette Debbie and Harmony. We had so much fun and one of the highlights was Joshua Tree National Park which is the photo of me in front of the heart rock. Love. Wishing you a great one! XOXO-Teresa ❤️🌵🎾💖 ☀️

I finished the last of the flowers last night and ❤️ looking at them all together. I’ll post photos after I take down St. Patty’s and decorate for Easter. 🐣 Squeee! Teresa 🌺🌼💜🤍🩷🩵

 

 

Photo Finish Weekend

Hi there. Happy weekend! I decided to make some felt flowers to go with the eggs and then leave these up through spring into summer after I take my Easter decor down. First pic is finished and second is in process. Hope you are enjoying some relaxation. XOXO—Teresa 🌺🌼🩵🩷💛😊

As of Late

Hey there Green Bag Lady peeps. I hope all is well in your universe. I haven’t been on social media a ton but still at work making things like bags, artwork and fun seasonal ornaments like the Easter ones below. I’m thinking I’ll start some fun flower ones for spring. 😊 I’ve entered new artwork in a couple exhibitions and just found out 2 were accepted to a museum outside Boston. Yay! I’m having so much fun making art again. Let me know what creative endeavors you have been up to! XOXO—Teresa ❤️🥰 🖼️🧵🪡 🐣🥚
