Keeping Busy

It seems that I'm always making something new or trying new things....I guess that keeps life interesting. So, here are my most recent projects. My blogger friend Melanie from yesterday's post got my creative juices flowing and I made me some tissue holders as well as an eye glass case and with my scraps a scrap wrapped bangle. It looks really cute with jeans.

As I'm working away in my craft room the laundry room next door is getting overhauled. We had some dry rot and it needed to be gutted and refinished, so there is all kinds of noise in my house these days. Here is the before as it is being torn apart. I'll post a finished picture when it is completed and I have my washer and dryer back....may have to just wear dirty clothes for a while.

I hope everyone is having a good week. It is rainy here so it is a good time to be indoors keeping busy.

Featured Artist - Bags by Melanie

I love bags and I love fabric. My hubby has now told me that I can't buy a handbag unless I get rid of one. OMG, who does this? Don't we just continue to collect them and trade them out with our various outfits? They never wear out, so they just accumulate in the back of the closet. So occassionally I'll just sneak one in and just say I've had it forever but don't carry it that often. I wonder if he is on to me yet... oh well, so far so good.

Well back to bags and fabric. This fellow blogger and creative soul has some wonderfully colorful bags, key flobs and pouches. She uses some amazing fabric prints for her designs and if you want to buy in bulk, she has listings for that also. I think my favorite is the bright pink flower tissue cover. I've seen these before, but I don't own one..humm I wonder why? I do carry tissues in that plastic baggy thing they come in, but I guess I have never thought about purchasing one for myself. I do agree with Melanie that they would make great gifts when you just need a little something. Check out Melanie's blog and her Etsy shop for more great items.

Cheers and don't let that hubby of yours make you get rid of any bags or shoes for that matter.  Ha ha -Dana
