Itty bitty shabby chic

 

Resting my creative bone once in a while is a difficult but vital reality of keeping the bag project alive.

When I try to force it, I can feel my work becoming tired and contrived.

I dislike resting because it feels like giving up. But I'm slowly learning to work with and not against the natural rhythms of life.

And when I come back, because I can't NOT, my hands will produce something that fuels my energy once again.

I have the energy once again to laboriously piece together a bit of drapery, chennile bedspread, a "cities of Canada" kitchen apron, a bit of an oatmeal bag, a hankie, some table runners, plus some random quilt squares and a few buttons.

 

It feels really great to be pleased with the results.

This itty bitty bag measures 8.5" x 6.5". It's the ideal carrier for your wallet, keys, and mace. Or whatever you deem necessary to get you through the hard day's work of being a woman.

Please start your bids at a minimum of $25.00 Cdn.

This auction will remain open until Monday, May 21, 2012, at 7:00 pm, cst.

I did! But I was on the 22nd...does that matter? I realized it after...

joyce said...

Woops! That DOESmatter, or I will have to hire a good lawyer for my almost lying and cheating JANICE out of that bag! I truly needed and enjoyed that long weekend, but it did throw off bya day.
Well, you're both winners in my eyes, but bya pretty important technicality, Janice gets the bag.
