Whoops!

Okay, it's been forever and a day since I've logged on and posted anything. Lady Liberty is a thing of the past and so far, isn't finished. I have since completed a thousand and one things in other areas. We've moved to Texas as well. Needless to say, I switched to Facebook and spaced my blog. However, I think that it's time to move on this again. :-)

Recently, I came across a cute pattern for a purse and made one for my son's teacher. Since I showed it off, I have already received two orders for them! I'm making them for "free" in exchange for word of mouth. ;-) My friend calls it "self promotion." Or if they insist on paying, I'll put it at a much lower price. I also have one more purse in mind that will be for sale from the very beginning. Ut, oh. I just thought of another color combination I want to try. Yeah, I'd better get off my lazy tail end and get a move on!

The strangest thing happened yesterday though. I decided that this purse was so dang cute that I needed one! As soon as I hugged it as it was partially finished, EVERYTHING went wrong. And I mean everything. I finally got smart and just put it away for the evening. Hopefully, I can finish the next 3 steps on my purse and call it finished. And I'm serious there. I stopped with only 3 more things to do. But I was messing up so spectacularly, that it seemed the right thing to do. Oh, and wait until you see the REST of the doodads going into my purse. It will be awesome. And, of course, each piece is sold separately. hahaha


This, by the way, is the purse I made. Adorable, huh? It IS missing a button to hold that flap down. I hope to escape to Hobby Lobby today and pick up a few fun buttons. Or, maybe, I should buy some of those larger buttons that you cover yourself... Ooh, that's an idea.

Okay, enough with the ideas. I'm off to finish up my purse. Hopefully, photos of it later today and you'll see how different they look with different fabrics. :-)
