Yesterday was a mix of frustration, fun, and finally relaxing with Zentangling~ and here is my day backyards starting with the winding down in the evening doodling on brown grocery bags. It really is a meditation of sorts. I recommend it. Click on photos to enlarge for details. Other side of same bag top.

the handle!

Can you tell I like this one? I had to shoot her from all angles I think it looks like a cool purse!

In fact I may try to turn it into one.

I also finished crocheting this bright trellis yarn scarf with many odd shapes; one end comes to a point the other is straight.

And this one I did in MN on our trip. Also blue trellis yarn knit. It's very long with very long fringe.

And here came the frustrating part of my day. I was working on the fused painted plastic recycled grocery bags. My sewing machine needles broke, thread shredded, and totally made me a raving maniac.

I turned it into a little clutch bag/purse as seen in the CPS article.

This is the front adorned with some stamps from Australia.

Opens up and shows I used one of my Zentangles for the lining. And am trying to hand sew some Velcro squares to have it close.

and here you see the back! I like the rose that came from the red paint!

Tomorrow I'll share the great thrift store finds I made; my new art studio additions and a great purchase! Stay tuned.
