Long time gone by...

It has been a while since I have posted. I have not intentionally neglected you my dear blog, it's just that life has gotten in the way.
I am still working at the job I had last year, since the economy is still bad I am told I should be greatful. It is hard to be greatful with having to drive 40 miles each way with gas at almost $3 a gallon, but life goes on.
I am still creating. I have made some very fun purses for gifts for Christmas. I saw these fun faux purses at a large department store and thought " pfft.. I am NOT paying $160 each, I will make them myself!" I did.. with a little help from my mom. They came out great even if one of the people whom it was given to, immediatley turned it inside out thinking that it was reversible! I will take that as a compliment to my craftmenship!
I am now working on anotherpurse and some baby bibs... NO not for my baby! Those days are long gone! (thank goodness!Lol).. these are for my 2 nephews, they are both having babies this year. We know one is a boy and still waiting to hear about the other. I hope it is a girl so I can make things for both!

I will update as soon as possible with pictures.
