Well, my Crafts By Erin blog is up and running with more photos of things I've done. I've been a busy little bee as of late. I have orders for 5 paperback book bags and 5 cell phone/gadget cases. I'll go through my fabric here before too long and start pulling different fabrics for them. Of course, the paperback book bags will be the easiest to make. There's no lining and quilting involved. Then I have another Piano Key purse lined up I want to make. This one will be red/black/white. I can't wait to see it finished. Oh! And I can't forget the Blue Star Banner I'm making for a friend. Now that the red fabric has finally been rinsed out, I need to start that. She'd like to have it in place before her husband gets home from training. Since the book bags and cell phone cases are for my mother, and I think they're for Christmas gifts, I can put them on the back burner until I get this finished. She'll understand. :-) She'll probably agree that it's more important. Okay, that and it will probably only take me about 2 days, tops, to do the banner. That's not much in the way of things.
Oh, and my son wants a messenger bag. Dang. He wants that to take to school for the last two days and show off. LOL I could actually get the front, back, and side panels prepped today. I need to buy fabric for the lining this evening, so I wouldn't be able to finish it until later.
I think that it's time to start carefully scheduling my crafting time. Since I'm still working on my coffee, I think I'll create myself a little page I can write on every day and plan what I'm going to work on. Today, I think I'll cut out my friend's Blue Star Banner and put that together, layer it, and get it ready for quilting. I will also cut out the outside of my son's messenger bag and start quilting that. I think that will pretty much fill up my crafting day. :-) Now, to write that down so I don't get sidetracked. LOL
