Newest bag...

I know...nothing ministry related but just stuff I'm accomplishing... :)



Pattern is from Amy Butler's book "Style Stitches". Great book! Quite challenging...more pieces to cut out than you can imagine!






Love the side pockets...



Huge bag...tons of room and pockets...

Thanks for looking! :)

A few pics of the newest bag I made

A messenger bag...I really like the size. Plus a matching net book case. :)



Homemade label: JG Designs-not very original, I know, but it's just for me...lol









I have been finding all these great sites with free patterns! Sooo much fun! Definitely charging up my craftiness!

Here's the great tutorial I found this one from! Thanks!

A productive week!

Well, it's been a long time since my last post...a lot of stuff has been happening...more than anyone probably wants to read about! So I'm just gonna boil it down to a few bullet points! :) Aren't you glad?

1) We had quite a few health issues for the past few months...I think we're almost all on the mend!

2) Still no job...but the Lord has really used our church family here to rally around us. It's been really good to finally feel like a part of the church here. :) But now that we feel that way, we're ready for a job! :)

3) We've all decided we don't like winter here. It gets dark WAY too early (5:15!) and it's really depressing! Can't wait till spring!!

K...well, that's pretty brief...believe me, I did it for your sake! If you want the gory details, you're welcome to ask...but be prepared with a cup of coffee and quite a bit of time! Lol... :)

So, I'm gonna post some pics of what I've been working on this week. I'm gonna try to start sending stuff with the girls to school...to see if they can sell them for me; any way to try to make some money! And I'm just excited to finally feel like I have the umph to get anything accomplished! So bear with me as a I brag a little! :)
