    New book purse

    January 21, 2011 - By 


    Found this great looking book at the thrift store and knew it would make a fantastic book purse.
    I reclaimed the handles off a super ugly purse from the same thrift store and dug through my fabric stash for the lining.

    I went ahead and listed it in my Etsy store a little earlier today.

    These are the days I don’t like living in Minnesota.

    Here’s a snapshot of my desktop from a little bit ago. That is actual air temp…not wind chill.

    And, yes, the kids have school…on time…standing at the bus stop. Poor things. Their only exposed area was a little slit for the eyes.  At least they’ll have indoor recess today.

    Little bit of this and that

    January 20, 2011 - By 

    I cleaned up my art zone a little bit yesterday…enough to do a quick page in an altered book.
    I used some of the scrap laying around the workspace for this page. I still need to get to work on some similar themed swap pages.

    I also started work on yet another attempt at a braided rug. Things are going much better this time around… *quickly knocking on wood*

    The morning sky was pretty so I thought I’d share it with you. The photo was taken through the glass of the patio door. Way to chilly to stand outside for a lousy photo op for me.
