Lazy days of summer

Okay, okay...no excuses...but, I have been very lazy about my Blog....it seems like I had more time when the boys were in school....hopefully, I can get back into the groove....

I have been back in my sewing groove. Remember I went shopping with my Mom in Salinas? This is the purse made from the pattern and material...Opps, I should have taken a picture of the lining inside. This can either be a clutch or I can attach a strap. I don't like the way the pattern calls for the strap to be attached, (tacked onto the outside sides...), so, I need to play with it a little.
I did add another Swarovski rivoli button onto this purse. I changed the pattern of the button a little and added little points. Joanie at the Bead Asylum said that it turned out great! She even commented that my purses don't look homemade...hee hee...I love her...here is a close up of the button. I love the way the button fits into the flower on the print...I would like to say that I planned it that way...but, I was just lucky!
Just to ensure that I can still buy craft items, (Jeff said he won't complain as long as I use whatever I buy....) On the two tags below, I made little flowers using the punches I bought at the JCCCNC Craft Show in SF. I didn't realize that I had to bend the petals etc....and I had to use my Tacky Glue...which isn't a problem until I can't find the cap to close it....sigh! I did find it...on the other side of the room! (The tags are for Megan and Rachel's birthday party...they have a joint party at Pump It Up in P-town tomorrow...I'll be at church making an for the Bazaar...Jeff will have to solo...)
