The garage told me they couldn't repair my brakes, so they just made my horn louder.
Actually that's not true; my garage wouldn't do that for me so I'm now carless. We are joining a car club. All very good environmentally but I do feel a little like I'm leaving adulthood behind and going back to a time and place where you have to borrow your parents car.
I haven't disappeared, I've just been very busy. That's the problem with freelance work; all the little loose ends can get in a tangle. Sometimes you just have to get your head down and get to work. Bummer, eh?
(Gettit? Bummer.)
This is the original bag pattern from the Onishi Junko book from which I've been adapting my designs from.
The cover has this bag on it
And the ISBN is 4-529-04173-5 (you can see more of it on the Buzzville site I linked to).
I'm still working on a bag pattern and tutorial for you all. Expect something in time for March break crafting. And I'll do a little photoshop song and dance too.
Today's inspiration: I'm going nuts over Nina's beautiful black and white photography. It's tempting me to give up a little of my colour.
Likes: Crochet. Watch Woolly Bullies on Youtube if you are a secret crochet lover. I'm working on some crochet at the moment and it's fun wielding just the one needle for a change.
Dislikes: Nothing in my wardrobe fits. Either I have to lose weight or buy new clothes. I don't see either happening.
your bags make me wish that I could drive a sewing machine... alas
they look like watercolors to me
yum
altho I've quit a few times - I like morning coffee too

You're a creative genius. I dig your blog! Those gorgeous bags make me want to put down my spraypaint and get out the sewing machine. No wait. One thing at a time right? As I get my feet wet in BLOGLAND you are such an inspiration. Thanks!

I LOVE your bags. I have been unable to find a site where I can buy that magazine. Even with the ISBN number I just can't seem to find it.
Any idea for a direct link to actually buy that mag?
Thanks so much,
