January is gone

Darn if the rest of the year goes as fast as January has, we are in Big trouble!

Rummaging around, reorganizing fabrics, desk in my office and various other places I found the year long los we did on SG and there on the top of the pile was January lo made my the wonderful and talented Martha waiting for pictures. What a deal! Preparing for LOM class and a LWC on BPS I have been working with a LOT of pictures, why not use those ideas to make a Jan 09 LO. What a concept. LOL That is on my list of things to do today.

On another note, do you ever get involved in projects that you had no intention of doing or even thought of? I do that a lot (Damn Gemini twin anyway). A few weeks ago I wandered into our local fabric shop and my friend that works there insisted that I look at all the Wonderful purses that the crew there had been making. According to her making purses is the latest and greatest thing to sew. This lady is a talented seamstress and a ton of fun, so yep I walked out of there with a pattern, interfacing's (all special kinds) and a magnetic fastener. I insisted if I was going to try this silliness I would use scraps out of my stash. Well as you can see from the picture, 4 purses (gave one to my daughter for her BD) later I have tried several patterns. LOL

I haven't done this type of sewing for years as quilting has taken up most of my sewing time, but these have been fun and they might make neat gifts.

Back to sorting and organizing pictures and doing some los with all the pictures I have ideas for.
