Diner Coffee
Brewed the first pot of coffee from the beautiful industrial coffee maker I resurrected at work. Making lots of coffee for those i care about makes me so damn happy. It's the little things in life that string together meaning, fulfillment, and days you can stamp with "I did something good today."

Cuff Bracelet Project
In one of my art classes this week I had everyone "go to town" sewing beads, buttons, and blanket stitch on pieces of suede. I was joined by several coworkers who each made theirs into cuffs, a keychain, and a bookmark. I will post some photos of theirs tomorrow. In the meantime here is one I made with beads, buttons, and snake vertebrae.

Done with the Ruffled Purse
This was so fun to make! I'm going to make some modifications to the strap and add a closure. I also want to add some more interior pockets. I think I'm becoming obsessed with sewing handbags.

More Velvet Please!
Stayed up too late last night playing with ruffles on a new handbag. I am so excited to see how this one turns out. I'm using a pattern I found on TheBoyTrifecta.com, the "Grandview Bag".

I finished the blue velvet handbag
Now it's time for bed. I will dream of the infinite ways in which I can embellish my little satchel.

Making dog collars and a handbag
This weekend I indulged in a little sewing. I like sewing. I made two martingale collars for my greyhounds and started a handbag. I will post handbag pictures when it is finished.
