DI Update
I found this jacket/shirt at DI for $4.00. It was a good blue color and the fabric was like a suede. So I did what my daughter taught me to do...I cut off the collar! Now it is a mandarin style neckline and will go better when I put it on over my other shirts. Kinda fun and I didn't worry about ruining it since it only cost $4! Try updating your shirts!
Vera Bradley Knockoff
I couldn't help myself. . . I really like the Vera Bradley purses because they are so colorful and fun looking and very well made. This is my version of a knockoff. I found a pattern I liked and bought some quilted fabric at Hancock Fabric in IF. I spent $25 BUT it will make two purses. I was bummed about spending that much but as I laid out the pattern pieces I realized it would make two. This is what I came up with. It actually looks different from the pattern because I made some changes. I have been using a green diaper bag as a purse because I liked all the pockets! Sewing knowledge comes in handy once in a while. It will do for now until I can afford a Vera. . .

Have a great week!
BTW, I really enjoyed working with Jade. He is such a fun young man and a talented artist. We all loved his cartoon sketches of us. I hope he has a good time at the new high school. He reminded me that I had to stay at the old stinky school one more year! :)
I love your blogspot too. So fun to read and I like your recipes. I'm sure Jade told you I don't eat flour or sugar but I get company and I usually cook some special things for them. Thanks for sharing your life and family on the web!
