I didn't finish ANYTHING over the weekend. But I did go to see Grand Torino and I highly recommend it! I think it is now my favorite show ever. I loved it! Clint Eastwood plays the grumpy widower and we were comparing him to my husband - grumping about the neighbors, grumping about the traffic, grmping about his own children, etc. But there is a heart in there somewhere and OH MY! I never expected the ending! I'm still in awe of the ending. Go see it! ~Pam

The Old Bag...............or "what I did yesterday"

Well, my fingers are sore from hand quilting so I took the day off and worked on a new tote bag or two. I have a stash of old jeans, blue, black, tan, white, etc. Every now and then I make something out of a pair, mostly tote bags. They're so fun to make, I never make the same one twice. Just depends on what size those jeans were and what details the jeans originally have. I like to keep as much of the original detail as possible.

I hated to throw out the remainder of the jeans after making this big tote but there wasn't enough "jean" to make much so the mini tote was born. Might make a cute little girls tote or maybe it's just perfect to carry around 6 cans of your favorite soda pop, I don't know. Yes, it's a bit weird but have you seen some of the bags young women are carrying around today? All sorts of fun and funky bags. But I think the little one still needs some embellishing, don't you?
