I worry sometimes about this little blog. I feel like I should be posting more of my craft stuff here, but Man! Even though I’m crafting my butt off these days, I can’t show you any of it. Sort of a good problem to have.
Anyway, here’s something I can show you – I’ll be teaching eight classes in Recycled Book Purse-making at library branches around town soon. I’m happy with how my prototypes came out! There are definitely cooler and more complicated versions of this craft available online, but this version is well-suited to a two-hour class involving multiple glue guns and limited electrical outlet access.
Locals, if you’re interested, check the Library’s Event Finder for dates and times. (Search “recycled book” from Nov 1 – Dec 15.) You have to register to get a seat, but it’s free and all materials are provided. Because our Library system rocks.
. . . Just for fun, here’s a project I hope to teach in the new year. (Did I just say “new year” out loud?) It’s a fabric collage pendant. Miles away from what I was seeing in my head, but I like the results.
Ooo, I dig your use of brads in the pendants. Not being a scrapbooker, I doubt I ever would have thought of that. Nice!

I lovvve the pendants. Especially the oval one with the little flower/leaves. So cute! I know how you feel about feeling like you never post your projects. It’s hard to find the time to blog about it if we’re crafting eh? (Or vice versa, hehe!)
Love your blog. Find it so helpful, thanks!

I have been dying to learn how to make those book bags ever since I saw the first one. Please tell me you’re going to do a class after December, too, because I really, really, really want to come.
Checking the library calendar now, just in case there’s one I can squeeze in really soon….
