And Away I Go!

I made a brand new bag for the Fall/Winter season:


I loved my Amy Butler Dorothy Bag that I made last Spring. I used it all summer long, and found the size to be very adequate: not too big to lose everything in, and yet large enough to hold what I really needed! I've quilted it, a la Emily Parsons, and this time around I added some inner pockets to corral my cell phone, my Palm, and a pen and pencil:


So, I'll let you know how good a travelling companion it is on my little trip north!



A few last pics of my patio garden before I head for the shower. My little lettuce patch:





C brought home 3 broccoli sets a couple of weeks ago (2 are in the foreground) and last Thursday he gifted me with 4 brussels sprouts sets (two are in the background):



The Cilantro is coming along famously:



And here's the Arugula:



And the little guy that started it all, my volunteer tomato plant:




I hope that those babies will be ripe by the time I get home next week!


Here's a Gerber Daisy just about ready to bloom. I think it may be gone by when I get back home. Hope C will remember to water it!!



Off to the shower!!


PEACE

The bag is very cute. I may have to make a similar one, not that I don't already have more bags than I can ever use.

You are so lucky to be off to another workshop! Love the bag. And I am envious of the winter garden. I am waiting for Mr C to get raised beds installed. It will probably be next year.

Tomatoes?? Ah, the south...
Great bag! You are such a busy bee it makes me feel like a sloth.
