Hello friends! I hope that you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was spent preparing for and entertaining some very noisy little girls, but it made a certain birthday girl very happy, so it was all worth it :-) My goodness, 9 yr old girls sure can scream and giggle! I'm glad that we decided to send the little brother & sister away or else I don't think anyone would have gone to bed...and there would have been a LOT more screaming.
I've got lots of crafty stuff to share this week, but I think I'll start with my latest bag, which I like to call 'hot tamale'. Don't you think that is appropriate? I revised this pattern to get the proportions just right, and I'm pretty sure I nailed it. This bag feels right, which is how I determine if a bag is good or not. Real scientific, huh?
I made the exterior from a durable decorator fabric I bought a few years ago, paired with a medallion quilting cotton. I even splurged and used a denyse schmidt print to line the bag because it seemed perfect. I think this is a perfect summer bag. Because I already have my bag, I've decided to let it go, along with a few others.

Yes, the shop is updated with a few of my latest bags. Okay, now that I've got that our of my system, up next is knitting...
