Amy Butler and Vacation

Well we are still on vacation. As you can see I haven’t posted in a while, some family that we have visited don’t have the internet. Sometimes I don’t realize how addicted I am to something until I don’t have it. Right now we are visiting my Mom in Wenatchee Washington. Jason and I owned a home here about 3 years ago and are thinking we want to move back. We have been looking at rentals, but so far nothing. We will know when we find the right one. So I guess what I am saying is that we will be putting our home on the market when we get back to Illinois. 

Anyway, the vacation has been great. We traveled from Illinois, stopped in Mount Rushmore, then Montana to see my sister, then Sequim (the peninsula of Washington) to see my Dad and siblings, then here to Wenatchee. I was so thrilled to find that a fabric store in Wenatchee sold Amy Butler! I always had to look for it online. Well I got 4 yards and so far made one bag and matching wallet. Here are some pictures. This is me with my little brother Johnathan. Isn’t he adorable! We are at a private beach that we have been going to since I was little. It was so beautiful!

Here is my bag and wallet that I made with my Amy Butler fabric. I made the pattern myself, with newspaper. It was a first for me. A friend (Beki) once told me to just do it, as far as making my own patterns. So I did and I think it turned out great. I have even gotten really good at installing an inside zipper thanks to Creative Little Daisy!

Until Next Time!
