Floral Geometric Velvet Bag

i made myself another bag from a vintage skirt

i used an unused belt for the straps

i lined it with material from a skirt i used to wear

i like the shape of bags made from skirts.

and i like the "bigness"

here is the skirt layed out, unaltered.

the skirt came with a matching fitted jacket that i kept

i love the floral and geometric goodness/combo going on here

another, in different light.

love it!

i sew, i sew, it's off to work i go,

Birch Bark Phone Case

my iphone case is clear.

cheap.

and clear.

i had an "a-ha" moment and decided to give it a go.

you see the kind of "clear" i'm talkin bout?

hello gorgeous-pressed-flat-birch-bark "paper"

remember this?

yes.

i'm a dork.

and i wasted bark by tracing the wrong way the first time.

oh well.

here is my authentic and one of a kind birch bark iphone case.

yahooie!

i love it!

Baby Maple

found this baby maple when i was weeding the garden.

just like this.

so i carefully potted it up and set it on my kitchen window sill,

and each day more leaf peeked out.

and then it dropped its "helicopter" casing,

and is beginning to look like a small maple tree!

horse back riding two days in a row!,
