Finished Project Friday: Buttercup Bag for NB

Image
By
This is another buttercup bag I made for a friend back in Minnesota to give to her daughter.  Making the wallet was a learning experience all over again.  So, I took pictures along the way to have for a guide the next time I make a wallet (which I will end up doing for my daughters).  I still see all the things that I didn't do that I should have.  Oh well.  I put fusible fleece on the outer part of the bag, and the strap, which I think really helped it to be more sturdy.  Anyway, I'm sure all of my friends and family are sick of seeing these bags of mine, but I'm really only posting them for my records and portfolio ... really that's why I post everything I make.  What do you think ... should I separate my projects from my family blog and put them on a separate blog, like I did for my recipes?

I have no idea what you "should have done that you didn't do". :) Your bags are so cute!! I think it's a great idea to document your projects the way you have been -- that way you don't make the same mistakes every time (I'm so good at that with recipes! You should see my recipe cards...There are little notes on them to remind me what worked so that I don't mess the recipe up. Again. :) :) ). Anyway, I personally don't mind that you have your projects on your blog. It's part of your life, too. :)

I love that you post all your little projects! It makes me feel better about all my projects. They're so beautiful too and inspiring. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have hemmed my sons pants into shorts! Very inspiring. But I say you do what makes you happy. :)

Of course you should post them. I really like seeing what you're up to! That way I can bug you for ideas too!

Not sick of them at all - especially when you post hints and tips of what you changed. I was thinking of how to make the strap sturdier, now I know. Thanks! And the wallet is adorable. What a great gift.

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
