How Exciting!

Wow, was I ever shocked to open my email yesterday morning and find that I had won third place in the Handbag category of the Big, Big Bag Month Contest! There were so many gorgeous bags, I don't know how the judges could easily decide. I'm glad there were a few categories so that several of us had a chance of winning! It was so much fun to make something to enter in a contest. Something I have rarely done. Thanks to all who participated in this fun event, and to all those that put so much effort and time into the contest. Take a moment to head on over to the Sew Mama Sew site, if you haven't visited there before! ~ I am happy to announce that this bag now lives happily in the hands of a dear girlfriend of mine, who just had a late July birthday. Happy Birthday, Leah, dear!

First time visitor... and I absolutely love that bag! Love it! I just got a load of fabric today (see: my blog) and am trying to figure out a bag to make. I've just returned to sewing after many years... this will only be my 3rd project. I did share a bag I just made several posts ago if you want to peek. You have really inspired me to get up early and create and sew. Thank you.
