That Damn Pearl
These handy vinyl bags close with a Velcro strip. They are lined with Rip Stop and can be used for food, make up, etc and can be washed. I used them for my grandchildren for school and camp with a name label. These are for cards here at my apartment complex. They have been so well recieved that I was asked to make two more.

The Learning Curve
Dearest Dylan started 9th grade today...Sigh...I love him so.
In order to contribute to politics, I was asked to make bags to carry pamphlets for folk's door handles in the neighborhood.Unfortunately, none can be considered a masterpiece. So many things went wrong. I ordered the bags online as well as the detachable shoulder handles...and embelleshed them best I could. They were delivered today.to the political folks...Alas, no one seems embarrassed by them but me.
A big thanks to Rachel for tonight's rescue. She picked me up through all the traffic and her far away home to take me to dinner. In spite of my painful hip-impingement, I chose to go instead of staying home to feel sorry for self. Great to have a friend like Rachel!!
She saved me when I needed it most!!
New readers came today. I am absolutely obsessed with new readers....Especially online when they are such a cheap thrill.
I must have 35 pairs...all hidden and lost under fabric and such....Plus who knows what kind of day it will be....Bright yellow or red flowers....Small joys in life.
