Hi Ladies, Just got In. Long day, but fun too. We went to see the movie and stopped by Home Depot for some essentials to continue on with a fence around the back yard. Naturally we picked up a roll of fencing that had no tag. It took 30 minutes for someone to finally answer the cashiers call. Ridiculous, but it paid off. We got 10 percent off and he

My mom taught me in second grade. It was so much fun for me. I made pillows at first, and then a girlfriends mom made doll clothes and gave me some fabrics and tiny trims and once I learned to gather I taught myself to make Barbie clothes.

[quote user="Robin"]But yesterday I think I decided on a purse I've made several times. I'm going to shrink it some because I think it would be cuter if it was smaller.

[quote user="Linny t"]I ordered the frame for my purse today. It's from Purse Paradise and is Victorian and pretty.
