We had beautiful winter snow and fog one morning this week. The only bummer was that I was on my way to work when I took these photos!
This is a little man-made pond across the street.

This is my version of Keykalou's "Sweetheart Shopper". The pattern was really easy to follow (you can find it on ETSY), but I wasn't totally pleased with the little side pieces that I put on to cover the bias handles. It had nothing to do with the pattern, and more to do with my execution. I'll have to think it through better next time. This fabric is awesome though!
And this bag....... I made this last night, using upholstery weight fabric I got at Wal-mart for a steal. You just never know what you'll find at Wal-mart. Anyways, I combined bits and pieces of other patterns I've tried with a little detail I've seen on other's bags (like the box pleat) and this is what I came up with! It's really roomy, but I pleated the inside too, so no pockets.
I'm going to do it again with a different shaped lining so that I can add pockets. The inside (sorry for the blurry pic) is a black with grey scrolls I had in my stash.
Adam and Mandy waiting for the baby!

Look at this proud boy! He announced on the way home : "JackJack is my baby, not yours!"
