Andie Bag For Caroline

I had a custom order for one of my Andie Bags.

Here you can see my bolt of black fabric. I'll use this fabric for the handle and band.....

This bag will be made with a black canvas fabric. It has a great bird/flower motif....

This is the part where I attach the bands........
I like making up the interior before completing the exterior.....I don't know why....I just do.

Here's the interior and exterior standing side by side. They're just waiting for me to insert/attach them together so they can become an Andie Bag for Caroline!

This is the front. I love the bird!. This one could be used for all seasons...

The back is just as great as the front. I hope she loves it!

Oh, the pure joy of discovering the reason why we have puddles!!

Ashland Oregon

Ahhh, Ashland; home of the famous Shakespeare Festival. I just love this place: the art galleries, shopping, dining; and let's not forget all the wineries in the area!I had a view of Mt St Helen while flying to the Medford airport.

I had my morning coffee by this pond. It was so peaceful sitting here watching the fish and a mother duck with her cute little ducklings....
I had a wonderful dinner of duck a la orange with a creme brulee for dessert at the Chateaulin Restaurant. http://www.chateaulin.com/

Spending a few days shopping, dining, and wine tasting with good friends was just what I needed. I have so many things on my plate this summer, that I almost cancelled, but soooo glad I didn't!

Here I am standing at the Troon Vineyard entrance.
