The house is clean, the boys are organized, my bags are packed.
Tomorrow morning I'm off to the International Quilt Festival in Houston for the rest of the week. I'm taking quite a few classes and can't wait to see all the quilt inspiration.
Because I need to take supplies to each class and may want to stroll through the exhibits and stalls in between, I needed something that would work as both a purse and a supply tote.
I bought this cute bag. Everything fits in there except the 12"x18" cutting mat.
I'm not about to carry the mat loose, and I want my hands free to touch and feel goodies, so I came up with this solution.
It just ties onto the purse handle with ribbons and can be easily removed. I can still sling the bag over my shoulder very comfortably.
I'll let you know how it works out.
Have a great week everyone!

ReplyDeleteHave fun..learn lots...and pray that you come home to a clean house. As clean as how you left it at least.
I always had problems with that...wonder why?? My family and I we're not in sinc when I went out of town. Especially the teens. It was "Mom's gone, it's PARTY TIME!" O well I survived it and now it's there turn.

The mother in your previous post didn't even mention her daughter, only the sons. Like you said she probably had something very wrong in her life. I knit but I try to keep a balance- I sew too. LOL
