Finish it up Friday...Snap Bag The Oily Way!

No big quilting finished for me this week. Hehe, I had someone ask if I had a finish to share today. It was neat to know someone is keeping up with my hobby :)
I wanted to switch purses awhile back. However, I needed a pouch of some sort for my essential oils. The last purse had ample little pockets to keep them in. So I found this snap bag tutorial to make!
 I have had an old tape measure in my drawer just waiting for such a project!
 It's turned out pretty cute! I put in a strip of elastic along each side of the lining to hold my bottles! I would put them lower in the bag and a bit more snug if I had to do it again.
 Yahoo! A quick finish!!
I also finished this beauty! I started this counted cross stitch a few years ago at the siblings' basketball tournament.  It is done!!! Haven't decided if it should be a pillow, a wallhanging or just framed.
Happy March!

    the bag is cute (I'll have to look at that tute! we have a crappy tape measure that for some reason keeps evading the trash - maybe because it wants to be a bag....) but your cross stitch is gorgeous and you really should frame it!!!

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times...

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended...
