I inherited a pillow because it no longer matched a family member’s decor. Lucky me! I needed an accent pillow to match the quilt on my bed that I had made 3 years ago. I finally got the gumption to make this unusually sized pillow. I love piping and think it makes the pillow look [...]
My mom can be bossy once in a while. She found a pattern for a purse that she wanted me to make and said here, make this. LOL We picked out fabric and I made this tulip bag. It was really fun to make.
My laptop is at the repair center but I emailed these pictures to my desktop so that you can see the purses I have been making. I love this fabric called Maid of Honor. I made brick red ones and blue ones and they are filled with pockets! I am in the process of listing [...]

Well, I made the pillow and it turned out pretty cute! Good things come from mishaps more often than not. LOL I also made three purses and they are going into my for sale pile. Except for this purse which was mailed to it’s owner: This one sold so I made another: A customer wanted [...]
