I haven’t been working on anything for RSC or TableScraps Challenge. Since we made our decision to do a Christmas trip, that has been my focus.
There were license plates that needed to be renewed, Real Estate taxes that needed to be paid, and a tax reduction form to be filed. (This because we are old, and have paid taxes in this country for over 25 years!) Then my Driver’s License renewal form showed up. I needed an eye exam. Life stuff!! But time consuming.
I started making a replacement Mom Bag for my granddaughter. It’s a Birdie Sling bag from Amy Butler. The fabrics are mostly from my stash, but I did need to purchase some fusible fleece. And there wasn’t enough of the purple fabric I had originally picked, so that needed to be remedied. I got a deal on that purple fabric. It’s Chalk and Charcoal by Jennifer Sampou for Robert Kaufman. Made in Japan. Deanna offered me a discount for taking the last of the bolt and I had a punch card for $10.00 off. You can’t have too much purple! :)
I need to sew lining pieces together, make the gussets, make and add the straps and it’s done! I want to get it done by Thanksgiving. I should be able to do that!
Oh, and we are hosting Thanksgiving. Not a huge group, but more than I usually cook for. So recipes are being gathered and ingredients checked off!

Life stuff can definitely be time consuming, Judy! That looks like a neat bag pattern. Lucky granddaughter! Glad you found the right fabric and a good deal on it, too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your busy hands are extra busy this week. ;) That crockpot stuffing recipe looks delicious. Good luck getting your bag done!
