My Casa Bella

COME IN THE EVENING, OR COME IN THE MORNING;

COME WHEN YOU'RE LOOK'D FOR,

OR COME WITHOUT WARNING.

KISSES AND WELCOME YOU'LL FIND BEFORE YOU,

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME HERE

THE MORE I'LL ADORE YOU!

-Thomas Osbourne Davis



Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

New Handbags!!!

Ta-Da
Finally, it has been completed!
It took three days
to make my handbags.
I'd forgotten how much I enjoy doing
them.
Piecing them together, finding complimentary
touches to finish them
Above is my Blue and Brown soft corduroy
paisley.
Do you like the handles?
Above is my colorful fun spring/summer
bag.
I love the rick rack ribbon, isn't it fun?
And each bag has four pockets
to carry all the
junk
necessities!
Plenty of room!
These are for me!
I have enough fabric to make one
more of each,
so if anyone is interested
let me know.
Hope you liked them!

    So glad you enjoyed the squirrel post!

    Your purses are gorgeous. As a non-sewer, I am always in awe of those of you who create such lovely items with a sewing machine or needle and thread!

    Have a wonderful weekend!... Donna

    Great bags! Love the look of the wooden handles!
    The second is my favorite with that wonderful jumbo rickrack. :-)
    Happy sewing.
