Sassy Snaks n' Tote

About a month ago I was at a fun little Quilt shop located in San Diego county ("Vista" to be exact) named "Fat Quarters". 

While ogling over all the wonderful fabrics and patterns I happened across some Letter Laminate that reminded me of the Vintage Typewriter Key necklaces from one of my favorite Artisans, Gina B from "Lizzy B".  It literally stopped me in my tracks - seriously. 

So much so that I bought up a smidge to make a reusable Sassy Snaks bag.

I decided to deliver (in February) this little goodie to Gina at the Great Park in Irvine. She comes up to Orange county most months (the first Sunday to be exact) to sell her wonderful vintage jewelry at the Flea Market.

Well, after our visit and her "like" of the Sassy Snaks bag she mentioned how it would be fun to have a matching "lunch bag" or "tote".

And that's all she had to say. I love a chance to create for someone who "wants" a handmade treat.

I called up "Fat Quarters" for some more additional "Letters" laminate and also added the "Numbers" laminate as an accent and "wah lah" - this is what I came up with (no pattern - just let the creative juices flow).  A fun little tote with a pocket full of numbers and a "hidden" message (Look closely).

Today I'm going to (hopefully) drop it off to Gina; assuming I can locate her amongst the vendors.  Wish me luck.

It's a Crafty Affair...

So today is President's Day and I'm one of the lucky ones with the day off.  Gotta love working for a bank.  :)

I finally motivated myself to put up shelves, artwork and some of my newest purchases: vintage bobbins & spindles (which I will use to hold colorful rick rack, binding tape, ribbons & lace.

The shelves & light are from IKEA. 

For that matter, so are the fold down tables & chair (purchased previously).

For now I have things up and soon I will be running with scissors for so many craft projects just waiting to be sewn.

But alas it's been a long day and I'm simply warn out.  Looking forward to another day when I can take time to create in my wonderful work space or craft corner.
