I think about 3 months is a general gap that I leave when I post on here. I'm actually going to try to post some interesting things about Italy and Florence and whatnot soon.. I hope. I guess this could turn into a travel blog again, but maybe it will just be informational. Enough about that! This post was supposed to be about what I have been making these past weeks; not about what the nature of this blog is to be in the future.
My Purse!
I've been needing a new purse; a cross body type purse, but not always. I'd looked online and found some beautiful purses, but with my measly income I somehow thought it would be more economical to make the purse myself. Also this way I could make it as I liked. So I did just that. I may have spent too much on fabric BUT I can make pillows now too or something else. So here's my happy purse with an inside zip pocket, 3 open pockets, and dual option carrying straps.
Books/Albums
I've been working hard on some smaller albums that were requested as baby gifts. I also wanted to do an exposed spine binding again b/c it has been WAY too long since I have done one of those. Lately it's been all about leather bindings, so it was fun to do the paper covers and detailed stitching on the spine.

Ok I think that'll do for now. I'm updating my website as well and new photos with info will be up soon. Since I'm working out details for a new layout I think it maybe be next week before it is finally ALL online. I will do some small updates today though.
