I have been so behind on so many things. I got these 2 wonderful atc’s a few weeks ago, before the trip to North Carolina (windy world). These traveled from Holland and are the work of Anne-Floor. There are lots of photos of her work at her flickr account.

My project this week has been this messenger-type bag-

I have been thinking about trying to make one all summer. I wanted something smaller then what I am currently dragging around, but I wanted it big enough to hold my sketch book. It still needs a buckle or something to finish the strap but otherwise is done. I copied the design from an old bag I already had (I made it slightly smaller)- a danish school bag it was called. Once I find the right closure, I will have to test it out and see how I like it.

I will be leaving again today. Heading down to Connecticut until late Wednesday.
