The Shoe Bag Day ...











Today was the shoe-bag day! I took photos and posted my sets of shoe bags on my Etsy page. And I also mailed out an apron to Vermont .... It was ordered by a really nice lady from Florida who was buying it for a girlfriend of hers in Vermont for her birthday. I do so hope she likes it.

On Tuesday I also made a new airplane travel bag for myself. It always seems that I'm making for others and just occasionally the worm turns and I need to make something for myself!

So a wonderful purple bag was created .... I also made myself a pillowcase for my small feather travel pillow. I need to be comfortable when flying! And overnight flights to Europe are hard enough anyway so you have to make sure you have something soft to rest your head on. The photo makes it look sort of blue, but it is an amazing rich purple. I am very fond of purple.
Have a great day!
