London Calling!

London calling anyone? 

 This funky beach bag was put together in one afternoon. 

Its all ready to take to the pool this summer. The handles I found in a drapery thrift store, used as tie backs. The fabric both outside and inside I also got in a thrift store, for 20.00 I still have 9 yards left of each. 

This will be truly a one of a kind pool bag for us! After all London has been calling me .....

A wonder of a new app.

 So those of you that Sew  will understand these next pictures..

These are my patterns, I never know what to do with them... once they are cut... at first I just wadded them back up... as folding them is next to rocket science for me...and stuffed them in a ziploc bag. Next I tried to organize them.. totally did not go well. Then, some that I use over and over..  I stuffed on the top shelf here.. that you see.. Just looking at this makes me ashamed.  I am usually such a neat freak, and this room I usually keep shut hidden from the world.. SHH 

I tired stuffing them in the drawers with samples of the fabrics I wanted to use on them... and as you can see that did not go well either.

 Hey ya'll Im sorry I try real hard to update here. I have been training for my fourth half marathon, coming up this weekend... yikes going to be chilly here.. but I also have been sewing quite a bit of new items, Ipad carriers, SWEET laptop bags, and TWO QUILTS! OH MY GOSH.. how on earth did I take on such a task? Im not sure what motivated me, maybe it was all my time reading my friend Sandi's blog, and envy of all her adorable quilts. ( Im pretty sure that it was...)
