Recycled Handbags

I'm on a purse making frenzy again! I guess I just got all pumped up because I found out that one of my purses is going to be in Haute Handbags! So now, suddenly, I'm a purse designer dahling! Anyway, I am working on two inkblot handbags this weekend. I bought some fun material and some canvas with my Hobby Lobby gift certificate from Mother-in-law (Christmas Present). Last night I made the inkblots on the canvas. I am debating about adding some words like "what do you see?" or something. We will see, hopefully I can complete one or both this weekend so I can show them to you.
Meanwhile, in search of ideas for purses, I found this great site with tons of handbags that people designed from recycled materials. My favorite was the one made from magazine paper beads. Take a look here
I'm going to get a haircut and some highlights today! Weeeee! I hope I come out looking gorgeous......or at least updated! So, happy Saturday....do something for you today!!!!! Oh, and go buy something from me at Etsy so I can afford to make more stuff!!!!!

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Etsy Treasury

I got an ETSY Treasury today! Look what I made! Go and check out the real thing here, it took me an hour to figure out how to just get a snapshot for the above photo. Rediculous. YOu should be able to just have some html and share the dang thing! Anyway, here it is, I would appreciate any views and/or comments. Hugs

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.
