I am seriously so proud of this creation. It matches a purse that I made nicole for her birthday but I forgot to take a piccy of it before i gave it to her and i need to remind myself to ask her to take one. It was a super cute purse but a little more flimsy than I expected. Anyway... Below is another purse I made (my first creation ever, actually) with no pattern or anything. Therefore, it is super sloppy and the inside is too horrific to photograph, but I secretly love it so much and am really impressed with it. I made the bag about 3 weeks ago but it was only this weekend that I added the applique and created the matching little wallet thingy. I had a lot of fun with the appliques! I hand stitched them on b/c I was too afraid of the sewing machine. I'm sure if I stitched them on before I finished the bag it would be a lot easier.
I'm just having fun making things and learning as I go! Watch out Christmas, you aren't going to know what hit you.
A hawaiian girl named Paula Fuga opened for him and she was amazing! Kind of bluesy-hawaiian, very coool. They sang a song together called Country Road that josh and i are secretly obsessed with, but it is not on any album so we have to resort to this youtube clip from this year's Kokua Festival.:
