The Bag and the Birthday Girl

I finished the bag I made for Kiera.  It's really similar to the one I made for myself, only MUCH nicer.  I really paid attention to the details and took my time with hers.  
 

 

And here's the Birthday Girl

We had dinner at Blanco to celbrate Kiera's b-day and had a great time.  There were about 12 of us and it was really inspiring to see all the cool, creative things people made for her!  Good times, good times.  It's just how we roll (and that's for you Kiera)!

The boots I want

can be found here, in case you were wondering....

I made another overnight bag for a friend's birthday. I've taken pictures but I'm going to have to wait until I give it to her on Saturday to post pictures! I'm so excited, it's really cute!!!

another bag

I made this:

from this:

My super good girlfriend, Maggie from sweetwaterbaby  sent me a link to this purse.  I altered it a little to fit the material that I had, which was a placemat purchased on clearance for $2.78 at Target.  I really like the way it turned out and you can't beat the price!

I saw a bag similar to this in one of the French General books and thought to myself, I can make that. The picture is awful and the bag is actually much cuter in person. I used it this weekend for a quick girls weekend away and got lots ' compliments.

'Cause it's Monday....

I'm starting again. I swear. I really want to give this blog thing a chance. Maybe something good can come out of it? Who knows.
