So for Christmas I decided to make some carry-all purses to give as gifts. Oh man.....what was I thinking???....... I was performing in four shows of Nutcracker every weekend up until the 21st--- which translated to, I had absolutely no time to make the purses until I got home at 11:00 every night. So, each night I would get home from my performance and begin to sew.....I didn't even take off my crown, take down my hair, or rinse off my stage make up. I just went to it! Chris captured the moment!

After seven days of staying up until 2 o'clock in the morning, they were complete. I was very excited about how they turned out! Ta-Da!

I even designed my own pattern and made a cute little version for one of my nieces. She was very excited that it matched the one I made for her mom.

And here is my mom modeling hers....
