Whoosh!

Yup, it happened again. The year has vanished and, without warning, March 1st is rushing by me.

Ah, but my ‘kreativity’ has taken form already this year!

Last week, I decided to take another quilty workshop, a Purse-making Intensive to be exact. There were 2 designs to choose from: a nice structured little bag or a cast-your-cares-to-the-wind drawstring number, complete with grommets. You can guess which I chose.

This was a last-minute decision, so I had to hope I had something workable in my stash. I fished through my linens and other odds from FabMo and found a couple peach velvet materials that coordinated amazingly well, plus a bonus piece of dusky leather I chose to reinforce the bottom.

I worked all day, deciphering directions, matching seams, posing questions of my instructors (if I add leather at the bottom, how do I finish the corners?) and after the last grommet was gingerly pounded on, I threaded the drawstring through and breathed a sigh of relief. Holy cats! I just finished my ‘peachy bohemian.’

Whoosh!

Completed. Nice.
