Tote #2

So here is my latest bag, but I haven’t found buttons yet, so it’s not quite done. It’s big enough to be an art tote, you could put sketch pads, paint brushes and all your other gear in it. It could also work as a diaper bag, I would have used it for that back…

Evolution of a Bag (or two)

I had to get away from the computer for awhile. I was tired, but feeling the need to make something. For a long time I have been thinking about making a bag, a tote, or a purse of some sort. I have this struggle with purses, they are either too big or too small, too…

Hair Feathers

I’m interested in this new fashion of wearing feather’s in the hair, but it’s not really new is it? I used to wear feathers in my hair when I was a teenager back in the early 70’s (I’m dating myself, aren’t I?) But we used to just braid them in. Now they’re on chains with…

Fabulous Fabric Forms

A month or so ago I stumbled upon this incredibly creative fabric artist. We have 2 things in common – a love of fabric and origami. She has beautifully accomplished what I have been attempting to do, combine the 2 crafts into one. So I invited her to send me photos & her thoughts so…

Can You DIY?

I’ve been trying to convince my daughter to do some DIY’s. She said it’s hard for her to think in terms of steps, how to break it down, because her mind doesn’t think that way. Sometimes I think her mind must be like a tornado. Here are some recent things that came together through the…

Hand Made Girl

If there was ever a hand made girl it is my daughter. She whipped up this shirt adaption between yesterday & today. The earrings she had already made before. She loves to make all the gifts she gives too. I just loved this shirt and had to show it off. I wish I could put…

Jazzy’s Jewels

My daughter Jasmine likes to make jewelry. She has been selling it mostly to support causes she believes in. These are just a few items, more will come later. She sells the earrings for $15 per pair, the necklace is also $15, and these prices include shipping. You can order by leaving a comment. I…

Summer’s End

For some people summer may evoke memories of lazy days as a child idling the time away, flying kites & riding bikes, going to the park or the beach, or hanging out with friends. Oh wait, that was me as a kid. Summer was really hot (in Florida), we competed for the best tan. But…
