Wedding Gift Finished!!

I was worried about completing my nephew's wedding gift since he had to move his wedding date up more than an month. I finished it. His wedding is this Saturday. Now I need to concentrate on making sure I get all the pics of the day he wants.

He doesn't even know about this blog so I feel it is safe to post the pics now. My sister in California can see them and be included before the wedding day like everyone else if I do.

Market Bags....My Designs

I made (and posted pics here) of market bags a while ago. They didn't hold up to my shopping at a supermarket the way I was wanting. I like the bags and may try them in a smaller size but they weren't what I was needing for this.

I finally thought about just making my own and not using a pattern by someone else. I did and I'm pleased with the results of the bags (though not so much with the quality of the pictures I have of them). They are more solid. More sturdy. I started with a solid bottom for them and went from there. I wanted a bit of a pattern to them. I wanted them to look nice. Pleasing and practical was my goal.
