Make-it Monday

Last week was a busy one for the crafty Bella.

First, I had to make a birthday card for one of my sisters.

Here's the card:

.... and here's the sister:

It's too bad the picture is black and white because you can't see her gorgeous red curls!

Then I needed a journal for Creative Awakenings.

While working in my art room, little Quinton decided to help -- by pulling out all the paper towels, arranging them just so......... and then sleeping on top of his "nest" which included some newly painted ATC backgrounds. Good thing he's cute!

At Common Threads, later in the week, I made an Amy Butler Swing Bag that will be used as a sample in the store. Oh, and it's reversible!

If you like the bag, you, too, can make one! Common Threads is offering the "Swing Bag Class." Here's the info from their newsletter:

There are so many classes offered at this wonderful store! For ALL ages and all skill levels. You can even come in and work on your own projects, if you'd like to just hang out and sew with some other "sewing folks." It's great fun. Come join us! Check out the schedule on their website! You won't be sorry.
