I was like a fart in a skillet yesterday and whipped up this bag. It is black with silver dragonflies. It was the first time I ever sewed with brocade. WHAT A MESS! I think that the next time I sew with brocade, I will fold all the edges over so they don’t fray. I [...]
What a sad week this has been. Famous people have died and a local mother in our town was killed in a car accident leaving two teenage children without their mom. I am having a hard time not thinking about it. There are things we can do to help unfortunate situations. I know that I [...]

I have always been drawn to Vera Bradley bags. I like most of the fabrics used to make their fun purses and luggage. Some of the fabrics are gawdy but that is my opinion. I like the quality of the bags and the fact that they are made in my state of Indiana. The bags [...]
