purse!

i'm so excited! i actually finished a purse, and it looks decent! i used fabric from two vintage pillowcases that i had lying around and this pattern

i actually took the time to measure out and make my own version of the pattern with an old newspaper. i decided to go ahead with the inside pocket, but didn't have the patience for the button closure. maybe i'll add velcro or something in the future...

this project was successful AND resourseful in the recycling sort of way. i can't wait to make more!

recycled calendar postcards

yesterday i finally made some postcards with my 2006 Van Gogh calendar. hooray! i finished with 18 total and sticky hands from spray adhesive. they're so pretty!
