Uniform Purse

I had been asked to make a purse for a spouse. I really enjoy make things but this is one of my favorites. I have made a lot in the last couple of years and no two are the same. Each one is unique in their own way.  The women receiving them really seem to enjoy the purse/ diaper bag. So lets get started.

First get an ODU blouse


Decide on what fabric you want. 


Decide on if it is going to be a purse or a diaper bag. This is so you know how much you will have to cut off. 
This one is going to be a purse. Then decide how many pockets.
This one is going to have one pocket. 


Add some handles. 
I used the sleeves from the blouse and the rest of the patriotic fabric


And here you have it.
 A perfect way to support your SAILORS and TROOPS.

Welcome to

                                                               Scotland There should be no surprise that us girls would go here.  The first day we drove around and found a really cute B and B. The next day we picked up Kristlynne. ( that's Kristas sister in law) I know what your thinking two crazy gals was trouble but three crazy gals. All 3 of us have some kind of connection with Scotland. As we were driving back from Sterling we stopped at the  Kelpies . These horse heads are huge. They can be seen from the highway. A lot of creativity and work when into creating these. As an artist I can really respect what the artist has created. ...

DIY Wedding Ring Box

It's been a while since I shared a DIY project. My little brother got married, there's a few projects that I did for this joyous occasion. I am really excited about how they turned out. I wanted to share with everyone the Wedding ring box project. The bride has shown me a picture of one that she liked online. And I thought it would be an easy task to make one instead of buying one. I found this little box at Jo Ann's craft store. Frist I started by removing the hardware. Stained it a dark color. After that was done drying, it was painted with a cream color. Then lightly sanded the corners and some of the flat surfaces, for a rustic look. I used transferable paper to get the image onto the box. I had purchased a small thing of silk and used Polly fill, for where the rings will sit. I did have an oopsie, had put the words inside the lid upside down. It was an easy fix. I couldn't be any happier with the way it turned ...

Capri Italy

The island of Capri is a beautiful one. Here is just a few pictures that I thought everyone would enjoy. We are off and headed to the Island  This is a Italy Coast Guard boat. Once a Coastie, always a Coastie.  It looks like, they don't want cars driven into the water.  The roads are very narrow. This is a very cute small town.  It was surprising and scary at how close the drivers would get to each other.  Picture from the top of the island. What a view!!!!  This is how big the buses are, on this tiny little island. Headed to the famous Blue Grotto Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater, creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern The water gets a darker blue the further you go in.  After the Grotto, boarded the boat that would be taking us back to Sorrento, Italy.    ...
