I did it!








I finished my fab recycled bag. It took me a couple of hours, but other than the thread and the tape, it was completely free. :) I like how it turned out. I'm going to post a ton of pictures. OK?



Here are the pics:








This is the lining (black gorilla tape) and before I added the handles... and the front made from Mary Kay Bags and Banana Republic bags...


And after I added the handles, I had to test how strong it was... it does lift a 25 pound boy!

The back is all Target bags...

You like? I thought it was pretty good for my first try...

More soon. I love this craftster thing. :)

Crafting makes the heart grow fonder...

I find that whenever I am breathing, I feel even better when I am crafting. It doesn't have to be an expensive craft, but I love making something. If I can make something out of recycled or cheap objects, even better. I found this project on Craftster (my new FAVORITE website- it's like creative HEROIN) and I am in the process of making it now. It's turning out really nice...

Mine is half Target bags, and half foxy black and flowery bags. One side is utilitarian, the other is all style. I'll post one I buy the duct tape to finish it. I didn't want to buy it until I was sure I would like how it was turning out. I am really enjoying it. It will be good for shopping or for travel. I still am trying to decide if I am going to pu some cardboard in the bottom of the bag.
There are about 10 projects I want to do right now on the site. I would want to do more, I just have not allowed myself to surf the site that long. All of the creative people on the site are amazing.

Henry is still sick- we are going to see the Doctor tomorrow. I hope Dan and I don't come down with this thing...

I might even get started on Christmas presents for my friends (home made, of course.)
I hope all is well with everyone out in blog land.
I'll post pictures and update on the little man's condition tomorrow.

My love...




He is getting so big!
He has started to say Ma MA, which just melts my heart.
I'm so lucky to be his mommy.
