OH where OH where has my sewing mojo GONE!! Wow haven't been in the mood for any sewing lately. Over the weekend I made a purse for myself out of jeans.



This was a pair of my sons jeans that don't fit him anymore.
I used some sequins and a dollar store pin on it for decorations! I carry this bag on the weekend. I was hoping by making this bag it would jump start my mojo! I did start looking through my patterns to see what I would like to make. That's a start!

Well that it for me! Have a great week!

My dear sweet 6 year old daughter have been asking me can she have her hair down. OMG not right now your to young I said this in my head. LOL! Well here some hair styles I have tried.





This hair style is call the twist out. I found this style on youtube. I just put some Olive oil mousse on each twist and I took the twists out the next day. She love this style.





I love these styles because I didn't have to put any heat in her hair.


Well that's all for me!! Happy crafting!!
