Making Time for Projects…
I’ve been so busy lately, it’s been hard finding time for my creative outlets. I can only be held down for so long, though…
Hanging Roses

This took a long time to finish, and I’m not sure I’m in love with it. I might not actually be finished, but for the good of my creative spirit, I am calling it finished for now. At least this way I can feel like I completed something!
This photo is of suede-ish (not actually suede, more actually ‘costume fabric’) material I bought last night. It is going to become a bag. The embroidered fabric will be the outside, the beige will be the lining. I don’t know how this fabric will hold up. It seems OK, but after watching it slide around and roll about while it was being cut, I’m sure I’ll have plenty of challenges with it. I’ll try to be optimistic!
I would very much like to be good at sewing. I’m really not, at this time! I got a fun new 60-stitch electronic machine for my birthday. It arrived yesterday. If I have time, I’ll break it out later today. YAY!
