Wow...it's been awhile since I've posted. Time tends to slip away if you aren't paying attention, doesn't it? :) I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season. We had a great time and were able to go to Canada to spend Christmas with my family.I think that's only the 4th time in the last almost 30 years that we've been able to do that.
After all of the crazy busy times of the holidays, I always feel a little lost in January and felt that I needed to find a focus for my creative year. So, in keeping with that, I've decided that I'm going to work through a book that I received from my daughter for Christmas. The book is called "The Book of Bags" by Cheryl Owen.
I love a good puzzle.From figuring out how to hook up the new dvd player to putting together jigsaw puzzles.The mental exercise can be frustrating at times, but is always very fulfilling when I can finally figure it out. Today I found something that combined quilting and a puzzle of sorts....The Schlep Bag from Sentmental Stitches. When I first read the instructions, it reminded me of those tests we took in school where they showed you a picture of a flattened box, and asked you to figure out where the black square ended up when you folded the box up in your mind. Let me tell ya...the Schlep bag is WAY easier than those tests :0)
Here is my creative Schlep Bag Journey in pictures:
