Pretty simple actually. I bought some black ric-rac yesterday to add to the white kitchen towel. I need to embellish the jelly bag some how. I'm kicking around some ideas in my head. I just haven't decided what it's going to be. That jelly bag is very easy to make. I was surprised. I got it done in a couple of hours. The pattern has bags in 5 different sizes and says that you can use a whole jelly roll to make all 5. I made the large size. I need to work on sewing a curved line but I don't think I did half bad. Not sure what I'm going to put in it for the swap. This is the pattern. I brought 4 different bag/tote patterns with me because I could not decide which one I wanted to do for the swap. Just knew I wanted to do a bag. This one won the coin toss. I like the kitchen towels so much, I'm going to make some for myself. And I'm going to start making some for little gifts for Christmas next year.I have other little things to add to for the swap that I've been collecting. I have to pull everything out and decide when to stop shopping and collecting!
I will show the crayon/coloring bags that I've been working on in a few days. I have to get the handles on one of them and it will be completely finished. My plan is to work on that this weekend. I also have a child's small chair that I'm going to re-finish and decorate as Marsha is my new inspiration for all things decoupaged!
That's all. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteI guess congratulations are in order again! I see you've won Sharon's giveaway from Red Geranium Cottage. Lucky you. Can I come over and rub your head or something? By the way, if I have inspired you for chairs, wait until you see the high chair I'm going to post in a day or two - was up in the attic over the weekend and rediscovered the chair I did for Frannie. It's pretty cute (if I do say so myself)! :)

P.S. - I really like the bag you're making and can't wait to see the crayon projects.
Those items are very cute. I wish I joined the polka dot swap :( I am wanting to make a jelly purse more and more...plus with the 2 girls it would be fun for them to use too.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Jen!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite varnish is "Delta Ceramcoat Exterior/Interior Varnish". It's super-tough polyurethane, it cleans up with soap and water and dries fast. I get mine at Michaels. I have even used it on outside projects - I'll show those at some point (I make seasonal outdoor signs for my husband's salon). I've also got a cute desk and chair that I've got to show you.
