Tick tock

I have a bit of spare time – and the sense that I ought to post before the year is done. My job seems to have gotten the better of me this year – my job and my extra-curricular activities like sewing and music and gardening.

But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been sewing, because I have. I just haven’t been blogging! I tried yesterday for the first time in forever and Google nicely informed me that there was suspicious activity on my account! I say let’s keep them on their toes! And my Windows Live Writer no longer works, so I’m trying to figure out Blogger and it’s going to look ugly in the meantime.

I haven’t been sewing as much as I want to, but I have finished a few things – all bags. One of these days I’ll get back to quilts. But right now, everyone wants a bag. Bingo bags, clutches, totes.

No one asked for this bag. It’s the first bag I’ve made without a pattern. There are lots of improvements to be made to this, but overall I was tickled with how it turned out. As you can see by the background, the pictures were taken during warmer times. This is all scrappy material that was given to me, but I still like it. Zipper inside it, along with a floppy pocket.

Eventually it will lead to something better. When I have time.

Until next time,
