Welcome to February! School starts tomorrow (yay) … I must admit that I look forward to the first day of the year with mixed feelings … I enjoy having the house to myself and being able to do things, but I also miss having the kids around, their noise, their ideas, their general activity. Mind you – it’s the cycle of the school year!

Now, onto what I’ve been creating … and boy, am I proud of myself.

Here is my new handbag! My current (old faithful) has a minor flaw, the leather has worn away from the piping on the base. It might seem minor, but I’m a bit of a bag snob, and I don’t like that it’s not ‘right’. I might see a boot maker to see if anything can be done for it. So, I took a pattern from it, and made a nice new bag!

Bit of an explanation … bigger pictures are on their side because when I rotate them, they become short and wide and not at all like they really are!

So, new school year, new handbag!

Gosh I am proud of myself!!
