Haven't been here in a while because baby #3 came and there went all of my free time. It has almost been a year and it's time to me to dust off this blog!
My projects have been few and far between this year and to push myself, I entered the San Mateo County Fair earlier this summer. I did the upcycling challenge where I needed to create something out of a bag of scraps.
The bag was pretty junky - small sample pieces of fabric, upholstery, leather, button, wooden pieces, ropes, paper. I tried to incorporate as many pieces as possible and ended up making a mixed media cross body bag. Extra scraps were used to make the bird design and the leather was used to made a matching card case. Not too bad for a bunch of junk!
And the best part?!?!?! I won 2nd place! This was the first time entering something and I was so surprised I won something!
