I absolutely love this pattern for a twirly skort from Sew Sensible. Many more will be in the works. It has a a lot of ruffles and fluff going on with its built in ruffled bloomers and full skirt over top. Caboodle loves this new outfit. The top is just a Simplicity pattern I had in the stash.
We make a special stop at the truck stop in Willcox, Arizona to get these great beans. They are sweet and tender and really are the best. Special stop means even at 2 a.m. after driving over twenty hours straight hauling cattle back from Oklahoma. I really like the bags they come in too, and I knew I wanted to do something with them. Hence, the Bonita Bean Bag...

I lined them with vintage heavy cotton tablecloths and red and white striped mattress ticking...
I have been using mine as an everyday purse and I feel it is very farmgirl chic as well as promoting Arizona Agriculture. I promise I don't even know the owners of Bonita Beans but if I did I would beg for more empty bags. Because while I love the beans that come in them, it takes a lot of eatin' to make one tote.
If you want a great bag but don't want to sew it or eat 20 pounds of beans there is one in the shop.
We have a creative home. I pray it is a home where people feel safe to express themselves.

Boo's fiber art in progress. I would call it a strip quilt but it has outgrown that into a Bohemian masterpiece of quilting heresy...
My daughter brings her knitting everywhere just like her Mama. I made her a little bag to keep snips, and counters, and tapestry needles in....
Lined and a 100% cotton of course.
