So I used to know how to sew. I haven't done it in a long time. I needed some little cases for my eye pillows that I use during massages. So Tone's lovely madre took me to the store to get some fabric and stuff and helped me make these lovely things. She also gave me her old sewing machine. ( I know I have a pretty awesome madre in law)
I also made a little bandana for Maddie. Buster tried it for a little while but he felt gay so we gave it to Maddie and she looked pretty stinking cute.
Well then I got my sewing confidence back so I decided to try a bag. Syndea and I signed up for a class to make a bag of your choice. Lets just say my old skills came back and I dominated in the class.
Oh yeah, thats a lining with pockets.
So next I will be making my lovely Mums a purse out of this fabric for her birthday.
Hopefully I didn't get too confident in my skills and it will actually turn out decent.

I just happened on your blog and I could hardly believe my eyes. Is there anything you can't do?
You are putting us to shame. I thought when I saw you photo, I miss her coming to work everyday. You are stil my favorite.
I hope you are having a good life in Ca. I would love to come and have a facial. Right now I am getting by having my Chinese Dr. giving me home
made "traditional" creams and potions. I must say her skin is beautiful.

Love! I am so impressed! The purses are so adorable! :) Ok, so I struggle and didn't realize that you and Tony each have your own blog - so I left him a message thinking it would go to you. I'm all over the place! But it looks like life is treating you well. We should catch up soon! :)
