I love to watch the snow coming down like it is right now. It's sticking nicely, too.
So this morning I've been cutting out fabric for another purse. This purse is a clutch that Gale-Bird has had for years. She always gets compliments on it but sadly, it is about worn out. I was able to draw out a pattern yesterday and had some fabric that Gale-Bird brought for the exterior. For inside, I had a nice heavy-duty green twill on hand. All I'll need now is some leather for the handle and top edge. I'm thinking of going to the Goodwill store to see if I can find a leather jacket that I could salvage leather from. Looking at a J. Crew catalog yesterday, they had some large purses made of "vintage antiqued leather"-their words. Only a smooth $238! Here's a picture of the fabrics for this new purse, along with the old purse.
The fabrics are similar in color but the new one is missing a bird. :( The old one has some beading sewn on the front so I will probably try to do a little bit of that. I don't want to go crazy with it though!
That's what I'm doing this Sunday! I keep thinking I need to go get dressed but then I think "What the heck for???". Today is just one of those days that is meant to be a pajama all day, day. If we decide to run an errand (not likely since I don't do slippery areas very well!), then I'll throw on some jeans and a sweat shirt.
I also added a link on the left side to a web site where the blogger has tips for organizing. If any of you really know anything about me, you know that:
1. I'm a typical Virgo.
2. That means (all by itself!) that I love to organize! I am a bin/bucket/storage container addict!
3. I feel zen-like when everything is in its place. I think better. I can't help it-it's who I am.
If you could see my studio, you would understand. I love the Container Store! I could spend hours in their stores....that's why I have to stay away.
So, the website Organize and Decorate Everything is fascinating to me.
Have a great Sunday!
Oh yeah! I have a "follower"! I noticed last night! Of course, I think it's my daughter but hey! you have to start somewhere! This whole blog thing is new to me and I admit that it was a little scary yesterday when I decided to post my blog link on Facebook. It sort of puts you right out there! Oh well-it'll all work out! Things just do!
