Crafty Day
What did I do today? I had a day of creating.
My tennis club is having it's Member-Guest event tomorrow, and I volunteered to do the flowers. I love to arrange flowers. These are just grocery store bouquets that I pulled apart and re-arranged. I'm pretty happy with the results.
I've also been doing some sewing. Those Japanese books that I showed-off a few days ago made me eager to start on my KSKS buddy's bag. I had some old sweaters laying around that I had felted. I cut them up and sewed them together, put on a little applique, added a lining, a handle and ta-da, a project bag. I hope my buddy likes it!
Here's an action shot. It seems to be a good size for my socks in progress.
Gotta run. DH is calling me to go out to dinner.
Very cute bag! Your KSKS buddy is lucky :)

That is so cute and creative! If I don't have a pattern, I have no idea what to do. Speaking of...I still need to find one for my ksks pal... Any chance your mine? ;)

What a cute bag! Your pal will love it. And the flowers look great. A day of crafting, then out to dinner - does it get any better than that?

The flowers look great and if your pal doesn't care for the bag, I would be most happy to give it a good home! I love it :-)

I love the bag! I'm so impressed, and I'm sure your pal will be too. I may have to try something like that for me. You make it sound so easy, but I'm not sure how great I am at sewing.
