Planning a Picnic

Okay, you bring the potato salad...I'll bring some watermelon. How is your sense of humour? Well, last night after fussing and fussing with the Ha Noi Bag, I needed to do something just a little fun and outrageous. My Watermelon Sasaki Bag was just the thing. She just cracks me up! Infact, that is what inspires many of my bags. I like to make things that at the least make me smirk (or schmirk as my husband says I do). But when I find one that cracks me up...well, that is a good day! I hope this one will go to someone with an equally warped sense of humor. I just put her in my Etsy store, so go take a peak.

Yo Biker Mama!

Okay, today was a football Sunday for Earl (my husband) so I retired to my sewing studio. I had been inspired by a request by a return customer of mine, Jo-Anne, who mentioned she has a friend who likes motorcycles. I figured I had to incorporate some faux leather somehow, some black denim, motorcycle print fabric, and lots of chunky hardware. I am tempted to keep this one...but can't do that or I would have a million kazillion bags! The black denim was from a pair of skinny jeans that I had been stashing with the hopes of "getting back into them". Ha! Imagine how liberated I felt taking the rotary cutter to those babies! Instead of "getting back into them"....I "got back at them"! I think they will look much better on someones wrist then they did on my tush!
