New Picture of my lap dog

Chester is at it again…. My lap dog does not want to accept the fact that he can not fit in my lap!. However, her does try hard to convince me! Enjoy the laugh!

ROOSTA the fine feathered BIRD

I have been really busy making a variety of different things this summer. I just finished painting this rooster. I named him Roosta and he is brilliant with color and attitude. I listed him on my ETSY site, shugsthisnthat, and hope to find a home for him. On top of all that, I also have a set of hand painted placemats listed on my LemonPoppyseed site, shugswhimsyworks. I painted them so that they are reversible and can give the buyer years of use and variety. The mats are painted with a traditional pineapple and then on the other side is painted a faux barn wood with stars adorning one side. I have another set of four that will be listed on my ETSY page very soon. Not quite finished yet!

I have also been creating some handmade purses and because I am getting addicted to the purses and such, I bought myself a new sewing machine. Boy I never knew how much sewing could change using the same ole machine!!!!! I am sure most of you can relate to my words on that one.

Hope all is well with everyone and I look forward to hearing what projects all of you have been working on. Ciao for now! Kim

My New Bag of Trix

Well, I have been trying out some new ideas. This is one of my own reinventions of the hobo bag. It is made from sturdy striped heavy canvas cotton fabric and the reversed side is chenille fabric from and old 1940's bedspread. I made loops and ties at the bottom of the bag so you can untie and reverse the bag inside out/and reattach the straps on the other side.....You can carry this bag over the shoulder or like a back pack. It is large enough to carry tons of different things. i use mune for carry or holdoing all my craft stuff. Yarns, wools strips, knitting needles(bag is 16" tall. I made a large pocket for the front on both sides as well.

Let me know what you all think..... This is just a beginning....
