This picture is of all the bags finished so far! There are four new ones in there. Two I made up today -- the one on the very left of the bench and the one hanging in the middle. Then the two on the top and bottom right I made yesterday. The pattern is here. (link) It's not too hard but, for me at least, very time consuming. It was the piping, which really set the purse off. I have all these ideas in my head every morning when I wake up. Then I just try to make them how I saw them. I always have fun thinking about who will buy it and praying for them. Is it someone I know, or someone far away? Will they appreciate how much thought and effort went into it? I realized today that every single bag I have made has flowers on it! I LOVE flowers, but not everyone does, I know. So I'm going to focus on the minority of prints in my sewing room: graphics. For a couple of days anyway. I'm working three days this week, so there won't be just tons of sewing, but I'm sure enough will get done.

That's all I have. I just took a second out of pickle making, round 2.

Love, Melissa
