ONE THING~ONE WEEK CHALLENGE

Over on Amy's Creative Side I challenged myself to complete a purse so that I could enter it into the amazing Purse Palooza on Sew Sweetness by the 11th of July.

Did I meet my goal?

YES!  I completed my first ever frame purse the other night!!  With thanks to U-Handbag, I learned how to make my very own frame purse!  They included some great instructions and wah-la, about an hour and a half later I had this little sweet thing:

My corners matched perfectly - yay!

Some fruit and trees ARE the right side up - I promise!

Isn't it cute!?  I love the blue gingham on the inside - so picnic-y!!  Feels good to get something off my 'to-make-one-day' list and learn a new technique while I'm at it!  I used the Gutermann glue for the first time and didn't make a mess = miracle!  I felt high afterwards though - or was it giddy elation for making something so darn cute!? ;)

So, I'll be linking this up over at Amy's Creative Side [anyone else notice how many "Amy's" there are out there in blogland??!!].  Also linked to Sew Happy Geek's Manic Monday. 

See you soon!
