the long awaited Purse

 I am SO excited that I finally finished Briella's purse!  I cut it out last week and sewed it last night after the kiddos were in bed and Stephan was trying to fix the washing machine that was full of wet diapers . . . I was having a lot more fun than he was!!
The original plan for the purse was to put a "B" on the purse like the tutorial . . . I couldn't find a cool looking "B" worth cutting out and then with the holes in a B it seemed more complicated than it was worth.  Basically I chickened out . . . After a few minor issues I got the purse together and decided a little fabric flower would really add some cuteness, so I found a tutorial or three and made a flower (this morning I made 2 more because I thought it needed it . . .)
 
I was so excited to show Briella this morning . . . but she saw it on the counter and came to me with a big smile saying "I see a purse . . . "  I missed presenting it, but she is thrilled with how it turned out and I'm quite pleased myself!
Every time a finish a project I feel more comfortable sewing and it makes me think I can make more things . . . next up: ties for my little guys!!

What a great purse!! I'm sure she thrilled!! I wanted to answer your question about Wordpress and couldn't reply to you in the email, so I thought I would try here!
A week or two ago, by blog was disabled by google for some reason. Just poof, and it was gone. Very scary!! I'd post a link of the post where I explained what happened, but supposedly that's one way that the google robots classify you as a spam blogger... leaving links inside comments.
I've been a blogger cheerleader forever, but this was just too scary for me to lose it all in a flash!! And there is really NO support for trying to get it resolved. :(
