*bzzy* fingers

  So.

Lately I've been making things. Pretty much for other people, but also because something inside me compells me to use my hands. It's a win-win situation, I guess, what with other people getting super-cool crafty stuff, and me getting to make things. It's what I do. Love it or leave it.

The first picture is of a whole mess of purses I've been making. Erin has received a few, Shurkus got one for her birthday, and er's daughter Julia got one just because (p.s. dear er, i did NOT forget about you. we just need to have a pow-wow about what kind of a satchel you want. love, m'a). I thought today would be a good day to hand them on the fence and take a picture of them, all lined up pretty in a row. Want one? Then go check out my ETSY shop... I just added a few more today, along with an apron.

The next picture is of the one, the only, Janice *f*bomb* Stickles.... and by "f*bomb" I mean "freaking fabulous" ;) She commossioned me and my sewing machine to make her a crafty apron, full of nautical niceness. I think it turned out pretty well, with lots of pockets and dangly things, and even a freaking rope border. Seriously, people. It's a work of art.

Numero tres. A canvas / memorobilia board I made for a swap at SIStv. I hope Lynette likes it, because if she doesn't she can send it right back to me and I'll keep it. Guess what? I totally think this little beauty is going to morph itself into a fab.u.lous. class at {colorful creations}... whaddayathink???

I'll be back soon to post a very technical "how to scrape wallpaper with a spray bottle and spoon" tutorial. I'm not even kidding.

this is not a lie! i bought both fabrics featured in purse numero dos on the fence. TO BE USED TOGETHER! it's like we're freakin' sharing a brain or something.

Oh, Melissa... I seriously want ONE OF EACH of those freaken bags... I am going to look at your etsy site all weekend, and then make a decision on which to order! They are seriously adorable!!!

And, yes... MANY margaritas are considered essential over long-weekends. I, myself, plan to consume at least 10, maybe 35.

HUGS!

Dear Melissa, please help me decide between three bags! Believe me, I would get all three, but I'm currently broke and shouldn't even buy one, but heck I'm worth it! LOL

1. Right one in pic of two on fence (red paisley one)...it's not on Esty, but I know you'd put it on there for little 'ol me, right?

OR

2. Large Magenta/Chartreuse Satchel (is this the same size as one above?) I love the idea of a new fun beach bag and the colors in this one call to me as well!

OR

3.Retro Floral Slouch Bag...because it's HOT and I would totally rock it with some cute jeans and adorable black flats or flip flops!

Please help me decide so I can stop drooling on my computer and start drooling on one of the purses instead! HUGS!
