Considering that this will be the third consecutive post on my swap bag, I am sure everyone will be happy to hear that it is finally complete (photos are posted, just continue reading)!
So, just to break it up a bit, I wanted to point out that Liana at Fashioned has posted a number of fall 2006 runway pics this week. A great place to visit for some sewing inspiration – not to mention the fact that I am in love with this All Milly dress.

More Bag Photos
I’m starting to make some real progress on my swap bag! (Photos are in the continued section of this entry, so don’t proceede if you are my swap partner)
Making Headway
After Taylor’s softball game yesterday – in 108 degree temperatures (they won, by the way, apparently they can tolerate heat better than the other team), I started working on my swap partner’s bag.
In Today’s Mail….
Well, finally, my bag swap fabric arrived! It’s great (see below for a posted photo and no peeking andreamarie!) and well worth the wait! After studying it, I’ve definately decided to use the Rebecca Bag style from the Carry With Style book. I can’t wait to get this project started!
More Bags
Depending on what television station you watched or what bank you passed by, our temperatures yesterday ranged from 107-101 degrees. UGH. Needless to say, we retreated to the basement for much of the day.
Frustration
I was hoping to create a post today saying, “Hurray, my fabric for my bag swap arrived”. Unfortunately, I can’t. Now I understand that my postal service is a day behind Wichita’s – we are considered “rural”. We don’t have postal trucks (weird, hu?), and, at times, I swear that we still must use the pony express to have our mail delivered. But, I seriously thought that if they shipped it when the said they did, it would be here by now.
Runways, Nooks, And Conflict Resolutions
Lots of little things to report today.
Packages In The Mail
I’ve been so busy lately that I had completely forgotten about my Burda World of Fashion magazine…. so, I was completely thrilled when I saw it in my mailbox. I also got a package from the ebay seller that I purchased fabric from for the bag swap.
Summer Bag Complete
Well, one day later, my bag for Pattern Review’s “Pick your Season” Handbag Contest is complete!
Bags And Birthdays
After Taylor’s swimming lessons yesterday, we had the chance to visit various fabric stores around town to look for andreamarie’s swap bag fabric. I have to say, I was very dissapointed. So, I scoured the internet (and found lots that I even liked for myself, but I’m trying not to shop for me!) and have place a few bids on ebay for some great pieces! Let’s just hope I win (and get them in time to make her bag)!
