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 ❤️🥰 🖼️🧵🪡 🐣🥚

Feeling like I’ve started 2026 behind on everything. 😜 I just got our 2025 holiday photos/cards in the mail yesterday. Ha ha. My heart has been hurting for my home state of Minnesota. I’ve been playing tennis, sewing, and working on art (entered 2 juried exhibitions yesterday). I’ll share the pieces soon as one of them is about Bagette Dad. 😢 Wishing you a beautiful weekend, we NEED snow!!!❄️❤️ Teresa

UPDATE: MINNESOTA, Moorhead Chapter

Everything about this is awesome! I love the "Potluck with a Purpose" idea. love that they made bags for a food pantry and, most of all, Bagette Jane is my sister and I love her to pieces, the fact that my niece (1st photo) was there to help too was an added bonus. Great job Moorhead, keep up the amazing work! XOXO--Teresa

Dear Teresa--

FMUU Church started the new year with a flurry of fabric. During our "Potluck with a Purpose," I helped friends and members make bags for our local food pantry. We worked together to make 15 totes in 2 hours helping both the planet and those in need. :)

Best--Bagette Jane, Chapter Coordinator, Moorhead, MN

Jimmeny Christmas, is it December 19th already? I can’t comprehend where the time goes. I guess that week in Hawaii flew by and then there’s all the Holiday Booth events selling pouches taking up a hot minute too. It’s been so warm here in Colorado it doesn’t even feel like December. My last sale is tomorrow and then we are decorating cookies on Sunday. I hope you have fun plans for the weekend too. And yes, my family of adults does indeed have a Bluey blow up in our yard. 🥰 XOXO—Teresa ❤️🤍💚🎁🎅🏻🎄

This is my daily necklace. I never used to wear jewelry all the time but this is my staple. You may remember I talked about getting diamonds made out of Little Man’s ashes. Well, I did, 3 green ones. One for me and one for each of the girls. When they arrived (11 months after I sent in ashes) I had to figure out what I wanted. My AMAZING friend Kim does jewelry and set the stone in a simple gold tube charm. I love it soooo much. She also made me the K charm right after Kyle passed with his death date on the back. 😔 I love it too. Hubby gave me the KG charm for Christmas. I like the look of all of them together and it gives me such peace to wear. I got the diamonds made by Lonité which is a Swiss company that specializes in cremation diamonds. They were so wonderful and I got updates all along the process. We chose green because it was Kyle’s favorite color but there are 7 hues to choose from. 

Little Man’s would have been 21 this past Monday. Rest in peace sweetheart. I love you❤️❤️❤️
