Chelsea’s Surprise!

I have no idea how she got this done, but she did. While I was making my “Carry Me Bag”, Chelsea made one too! Something about fabric strips called “Honey Buns” that she just loves!

I always read the comments about her out loud. Her ears perk right up. She loves them! So, to say “thank you” or “yip yip” she’s giving away the bag she made! (In case you didn’t know Chihuahuas “yip” not “woof”.)

She had a little trouble with the covered button! I promised her I would help this morning if she’d just come to bed.

So, on Saturday, when she picks a winner, her bag will have the prettiest covered button! And it will be coming to one of you! You know what to do right?

Oh, wish her luck. She has to go for a weigh- in at the Vet this morning. Things aren’t looking too good right now, and she didn’t seem to loose an ounce while sewing. Hate how that happens!

Have a great week. We’ll see you on Saturday!

Hugs,

Anne & Chelsea

The Carry Me Bag

I love to see one of my patterns done in different fabric.  Debbie over at The Fat Quarter Shop has been busy sewing and she made my newest “Carry Me Bag” out of a Honey Bun roll from April Cornell’s summer line called “Spring Magic”.  Be still my heart!  I may have to make myself one of these for myself! 

In just a few days I’ll be doing a little tutorial on making this bag.  I used Timtex, that magical interfacing.  I’ll show you some tips and tricks to working with it.   It’s easy!

Tomorrow is basket day!  Are you ready?   See you then!

Hugs,

Anne

Almost forgot to tell you…Chelsea’s happy now that my son Doug is here.  When he leaves for work she lays down by the front door and waits.  Is that love or what?  Sad thing is he leaves on Monday to return to Germany.    I don’t have the heart to tell her.    ):
