finally something is done!

My daughter asked me to make a bag for her friend's birthday, so I was finally able to sink my teeth into something and get it done! This is the Lickety Split bag by Made by Rae. I have made a couple of these and they come together super easy and the pattern is easy to follow. The recipient is a fan of lime green so my daughter picked the colors accordingly. I made it reversible so I used a pony tail/button closure rather than the magnetic snap I use for a non-reversible version.



I am so happy I have something to share for Sew and Tell!





Meanwhile, the pile increases of projects that are unfinished waiting for the Bernina to come home. I will be set to share for awhile once she gets home!


More pinwheel progress. These blocks are almost done.




These are so cute I just had to share.... FQ I scored at J's the other day! I got two sets using a 50% coupon. This is Merry Mushroom by Windham. Its so very '70's retro!

  16. That is a great purse and I think that is wonderful your DD is making those wash cloths for the wildlife affected by the spill! A very caring thing to do!
