In early 2017 I had made a black purse that I loved. After going back home for a benefit (whereby I made two other purses for it) I was offered some moola for my black purse. I knew she really wanted it and would ask me again for it, so I sold it to her. […]
Well, the request was odd, but the item to make was pretty easy. One of the dad’s on my son’s baseball team collects dinosaur bones. He had a 4′ dinosaur bone that he unearthed on a dig that he needed to have a pouch to cushion it as it stood end on end. This pouch […]

I was hoping to get this gift made over my holiday break from work, but I just did a lot of reading and resting. I needed that, but now I am stressing on getting projects done that I have volunteered to do. This is what I need to finish up this week: Sample sewing some […]
We are at a point in our familial gift giving, that many just want to exchange for the kids and not do anything else. We are getting some gifting back, but for the most part the adults are not interested. I miss it. I do have a cousin in California that always sends something nice […]
