Staying Busy in Retirement by Darlene

Beautiful!

Dusting off those rusty sewing skills. I finished this cute little crossbody cellphone purse today, my granddaughter claimed it even before it was finished and came over and now it's in her happy possession. I'll definitely make more of these as I think it would be a perfect casino purse. A zippered pocket for daily BR, a zippered pocket for money to take home and a larger zippered pocket to keep keys, TITOs, lighters, cigarettes, etc. and a slip pocket on the back for a cellphone.Attachment 11891

They are awesome, @Darlene. The wolf one is really great.

Thank you.

Those look great! What a fun way to make some extra cash. Keep posting pictures please.

Thank you, it is fun and since I retired I can craft at my own pace and it's awesome.

Thank you, there are imperfections, but I'm sure the the next one will be better.

Sitting home, reading the KC thread and wishing I was there, but since I'm not. I worked on some keychains. Finished 2-6-2020.jpg

These are for my great niece and great-great-niece in California. My sister requested them as a surprise and is taking them to Cozumel this weekend as they will be meeting up for a family vacation. The green one was a specific request for my great niece, but the blue one she gave me free rein on, so knowing that Nelle who is 12, is an avid reader and really into Greek mythology. I printed pages from The Odyssey, aged them and them used them on the cup. 148580040_2890367991176941_419275051781722888_n.jpg Nelle.jpg

The blue one is awesome!

The blue one is awesome!

Thank you, I had to hurry and put her name on it, so that I wouldn't be tempted to keep it. I just realized there is an ugly orange streak on the green one, it must be from the lighting as the cup definitely doesn't have any orange on it.

You are so creative!

I had this brilliant idea to try and make a winner's bank style purse for when I go to Vegas, so that I won't give my winnings back. I started with the pattern for the cellphone purse I made my granddaughters and added a double zipper on the bottom pocket and a grommet. Put a small lock on it and made sure that money rolled up fits. Now to get to Vegas and test it out.
