La (or is it Le) SAC!

I'm working on a new purse and it's just about finished!  Inspector CoCo is approving the final stages of development!

So much to do!

Yes! There is so much to do before my trip to Hawaii, but ... I finished the purse!


Sadly, my gourds have taken a terrible turn! Everything that I have read says to leave them on the vine until it withers - even snow won't hurt them supposedly! Well, for reasons unknown, most of the perfectly wonderful cannonball gourds have begun to split! Wah! This one even has a happy visitor! :(

Thankfully the bottle gourds are thriving! I'm not so sure that the trees underneath them are, however! lol!

Getting Ready to Leave!

Gosh! There's so much to do before I leave for Hawaii!
I awoke the other morning with an idea to make my Mom a present before I leave. It will be a little bouquet of Flower Power People! This is quick and simple! I plan to write a little note and attach it to each flower, kind of like an Advent Calendar, so she can read a "note a day" from me while I am gone!
Here's a picture of my dear sweet Mom, sculpting one of her favorite newspaper cartoon characters, the little boy from the "Flying McCoys".
... and finally, because I'm a little bit crazy, I plan to make a "Two Hour" purse (which will probably take me twenty-two hours!!!) out of this beautiful fabric and take it with me on my trip!

Yikes! I leave in a week and a day!!! I better get started!


Aloha!
