A very productive day

Most of my blog posts don't have pictures. Our camera isn't working so I only have my cell phone camera. What comes out is usually a less than stellar picture, but it works. Today was my day off and was a busy and satisfying day. To answer my own question, I'm going to start playing golf. Today I officially have my own set of clubs. Take a look. I got them off craigslist and the women who sold them to me said she only played with them once. I believe her. These look new. Even though the bag is pink, it is actually pretty cool. It has a harness-type strap to help you carry the bag and there is a little spot that says cooler. I can't wait to use that part. I'm very excited for our first couples golf lesson. It should be in the next week or so. Yesterday I went to an upholstery store and bought some great fabric. I need a new wallet and was thinking of using it for making a new one. When I got home, I felt the fabric wasn't bright enough for a wallet but I thought it could make a good purse. I need a new purse; all I have right now is a little black one. After searching Etsy for a good design, I found one. This afternoon while Henry and Aaron were watching the Royals lose, I made this.

You can see my shoes and that can give you a little scale. It's nice for keys, wallet, cell phone and maybe a book. It was pretty simple and I am happy about the way it turned out, although, if I could do it again, I would make the handle a little thinner. The fabric is so thick my sewing machine didn't cooperate a few times. The bag is fully lined with a shiny pick fabric that I have had forever. It's always nice to use up old fabric. I really wanted to make a tutorial, but my phone camera was not doing well upstairs. Sorry. It was very easy: I first sewed the sides, then the middle stripe, added the lining and sewed on the handle. Well, I guess I didn't need a tutorial after all.

Tonight before Henry went to bed he asked what he should do. I told him to draw me. This is what he drew.

Isn't it great? I must tell you that all of the colors besides blue are bones. He made bones in my hair. I just told him he was silly. I made little pencil dots for the letters and Henry connected them. After he was done with drawing me, he was ready for Aaron...

This is a monochromatic version of Aaron. Henry said his head was like a moon. I couldn't agree more.

So there it is, our day. I guess I should mention that I also went to the dentist, Henry had gymnastics, we all went to the YMCA and had dinner out. Pretty good, huh?
