Wow, it is hard to sit down here and post. During the winter months, I would usually sit down at the computer in the evening. Now I find myself wanting to be out watering the plants and watching the sunset after the kids are in bed. I just haven’t seemed to figure out a good time to fit it into my routine. Thank heavens for all those wonderful bloggers at the top of the world that can keep me inspired through our summer months. I did want to post a little teaser of the bag I am finishing.

I really like this bag and feel like it has inspired all kinds of new project ideas. So I can’t wait to have some time to do a little experimenting.

I finally took photos of this bag I made a few weeks ago. I took it when I went on a 5 mile hike this weekend and ended up wearing it like a backpack. But seeing it and using it reminded me that I had not taken pictures of it yet.

I bought this bedspread at Goodwill for a few bucks. There is so much of this quilted fabric, so I can’t wait to make more stuff out of it. I think the racing stripe gives it a little extra zing. I wish I had more time for sewing. I have mostly been doing spring cleaning, gardening, and working on a custom request for a friend. The bag I am making for a friend is nearing completion. I am working on the hand finishing now and I am very excited to photograph it and get it to her. She has waited long enough. I hope she likes it!
