Well, as school was egging closer and closer I realized I needed a new purse.
Almost every year, since middle school I have made a purse in honor so -to -say of the new school year. This year I had this idea bubbling around in my head about a purse shaped like an owl. I wanted mine to be very specific, with many pockets, which is something I need to keep organized.
I used a purse my sister had as a jumping off point, and sewed away!
I didn't use a pattern or anything, just kind free-styled it :)
I hand stitched everything on the face.
I added pockets for my phone, for pens/pencils, one on the front for my sketchbook, a key holder, for my mirror, and one for
chap stick.
So many pockets, so little time :)
To make it all better, a while ago I found a black wallet with two little owls perched on a branch. It suits my bag and me perfectly.
I love it when a project comes out so wonderfully!
Recently, my mom rescued three
abandoned kittens. They are the sweetest things ever! Can you blame me for falling head over heals for the them?
Stop by my mom's blog
Maria's Secret Garden for the
full story or my sister
Jessica's blog as well...guess it seems that everyone is writing about them :)
I made some Sunny Day Cookies today, the easiest cookies ever to make, they are sweet and
soooo good!!!
Well, I'm off!
I've got to go attend a meeting, get some painting done, and work on
some one's shawl...
Have a happy Thursday!

Its been raining on and off... and whilst doing homework, cleaning the house, and working on some one's birthday gift I was happy enough to enjoy the company of the the trio of sweetest kitties around.

The view from my room has been rather foggy, and rain splattered. When it rains like this I long to be in Germany.
It actually felt a little bit nippy for a few hours and so what did I do? Whip out my cozy handmade socks of course :)
Stay cozy!
