Life moves on . . .

Trying to find the time to balance my hobbies has been challenging over the past few weeks.  Hubby is now in the HOUSE!   This is fantastic!  Learning to live together is the balancing act between working more hours, sewing/prepping for classes I'm teaching and free time for me!

I finished my latest project almost 2 weeks ago - my second bag!  Grids & Grommets, with charms.  I made my pockets on the inside fit my camera and iphone - though if I make it again I need a pocket on the outside as well:

I made a braided handle which I like, but is too thick to really rest nicely on my shoulder.  This is a big purse and I have it stuffed :)

I also made a new pillowcase for my oldest daughter - the fabric is sushi with cute words all over it:
I plan to make 2 more for her best friends sometime - - - in between things.

Hoopsister's class this afternoon and Pizza Party tomorrow evening - busy busy busy....not to mention I'm working the next 3 days.

    I love the bag Toni. I still have not used the grommets I bought last summer.

    The bag is wonderful. Could you just redo the handle so it rests on your shoulder better?

    Love your new bag! The braided handle is a bit thick for me but I do like how the handles and grommet keep the top of the bag closed.

    Cute bag! I love the orange grommets. I didn't even know grommets come in different colors. A revelation! :)

    Love the pillowcase too. It is happy.
