Ashley & Her New Purse
My sister and I finally finished her purse!
It turned out really well. It’s so cute! We followed the instructions for the “Charming Handbag” from Amy Karol’s Bend-the-Rules Sewing.
Here’s to 2008!

There’s so much catching up to do now though. Clients, orders, show prep, and more… oh my!
Much Fun Was Had
…and many drinks were consumed.
Thank you to everyone that came to our housewarming party, and for braving the aftermath of the Chicago area storm! Hopefully power returned to your homes quickly!
