New life for an old bag


No, I am not taking about my mother.


Most of you know I make bags, and apparently have mother issues ;-)


Awhile back, I made myself a new chicken bag,




but what do I do with the old one that I still love?



I tucked in the handle and crammed a pillow form inside, then I snapped it closed.


It's cute and I can still use it as a purse at a moments notice.



It was so easy that I "made" another one for the couch.

You are, without a doubt, the most clever girl I know. I wish I'd known this when I went to Texas in March. I could've saved a ton of room by not carrying around my gigantic bed pillow and I would've loved resting my head on my cute chicken bag at night! lol

Very very clever! But I wonder what kinds of stuff I would find in that converted pillow from the grandkids.

Girl, we just need to find you an agent. You are so talented and resourceful---there's got to be a way to get your artisticness (is that a word?) out there!
